Gyde enables enterprises & SAAS companies to guide their users with step-by-step voice assistance, byte-sized training videos & rich help articles. These guides are personalised, multilingual and available where these are required the most – right within the application.
Gyde, a Pune based startup that has built a set of AI-based tools to educate software application users to drive actions for better on-boarding, adoption, engagement and customer success, has picked up $250K in seed funding from Better Capital & Ashish Achrekar, CEO of Rica Analytics Inc. With this funding, the startup plans to accelerate the product development, acquire customers globally and deliver personalised help to a vibrant community of software users.
Started By Prasanna Vaidya and Shubham Deshmukh in 2019, Gyde has been working with enterprises & growing companies with a vision to assist software users like never before. It has customers and partners in more than 6 countries & counts A global asset management company, life insurance giant in India, HR & learning management systems, collaboration platforms as it’s customers. Gyde Platform lets anyone within an organisation create guides in a code-free manner to empower application users with up to date assistance needed while using the applications.
Gyde’s aim is to make software users more efficient & successful that in-turn will help businesses to realize productivity gains from their digital investments faster. The product currently integrates with web-based, android & iOS applications.
Businesses across the globe are investing billions of dollars every year to purchase software. More than 30% of this software never gets used as it’s difficult to understand & use. Moreover, in a world where software changes every month, it’s nearly impossible for the help & user training content to keep pace. This is creating a huge impact on the efficiency of the users and the ROI expected from these applications. With Gyde, there will be a drastic reduction in the need for classroom training, maintenance of lengthy user manuals & reliance on support teams. Gyde also improves the user experience multifold and makes applications self-serve.

With Gyde, B2B as well as B2C companies can deliver rich step-by-step voice assistance, byte-sized training videos & how-tos at the point of trouble. We partnered with Prasanna and Shubham at the founding stage and are excited to see them build Gyde into a category leader”, said Vaibhav Domkundwar of Better Capital, an early backer of breakout companies like Open, Teachmint, Khatabook, Vauld and others.
