Tutorial Overlay Capability

Not sure if this is the type of product request you’re looking for, but to speed up adoption of AIP if you could have the speedruns/tutorials/deepdives coded into the interface itself, that would be pretty cool. So it becomes more video game-like where Palantir would specifically highlight to a user things like ‘Click Here’, or ‘Press Apply’, ‘Click Deploy’ AS it is walking through the course/tutorial.

Switching tabs back and forth for these sorts of tasks is pretty irritating to a point where if you are someone taking extra time out of your schedule to learn these things, you might not continue. And especially if you are a non-technical user who isn’t used to data interfaces like this.

Lastly another advantage might be that you can dynamically re-label anything as the system changes and evolves, solving the problem of “screenshots and button-look, button-position not up to date” warnings in the tutorial pages. Again for non-technical users this is really hard to navigate if they don’t see the exact thing referenced in a screenshot.

You could even make this a general product for devs to highlight and create walkthroughs of their AIPNow/Foundry Marketplace offerings.

Definitely agree on that first suggestion! Trying to find buttons from a couple closely cropped tutorial pictures was tough for the applications with busier interfaces.

Hi Kyle, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We are actually working on an in-platform walk-through capability for examples. Would you be interested in beta testing? If so, I can follow up via DM.

Hey awesome
I would love to help test!

Hi Everyone!

Just to let you know that we’re still working on this and expect to have a closer update on release of this in the next few weeks.

As of now, we’re not focusing on the specific overlay capability described here, where we’d specifically highlight any buttons to click inside the UI elements themselves, but we’re working on a the generic walkthrough ability that will guide you to the correct applications/resources and follow a guided path. (Especially solving the “Switching tabs back and forth” point you’re making here)

This will also include the ability to builders to create their own custom walkthroughs inside the application as well for their regular users, guiding them in the platform in the use of a single application or specific workflow.

Here’s some screenshots of the current version of this and how this looks.
