Transform Your Onboarding Flow with UX Analysis

The brutal truth about SaaS products: most users who sign up never become active users. They create an account, land on your dashboard, feel overwhelmed or confused, and never come back. Your signup conversion might be strong, but if your onboarding is broken, those signups are worthless. Activation—getting users to their first meaningful win—is where most products fail.

The Traditional Approach Falls Short

The problem with traditional onboarding optimization is that it requires extensive user testing or analytics instrumentation to understand where users drop off and why. You can see in your funnel that 60% of users abandon after step two, but you don't know if it's because:

• The step is confusing
• The copy is unclear
• The value proposition isn't resonating
• The page is simply too overwhelming

Guessing is expensive and time-consuming.

The Krux AI Approach

Krux AI takes a different approach. Upload a complete walkthrough of your onboarding flow—from the moment a new user logs in through their first successful action. Narrate what you expect users to do at each step.

Krux AI analyzes the entire experience with fresh eyes, identifying specific friction points that cause confusion, frustration, or abandonment. You get detailed feedback on every aspect:

• Is the copy clear?
• Does each step have a clear purpose?
• Are you asking for too much information too soon?
• Is the path to value obvious?
• Are error states handled gracefully?
• Does the empty state provide enough guidance?

Real-World Example

Consider a typical scenario: your analytics show that 50% of users drop off during account setup. Krux AI analyzes your onboarding and identifies that the account setup step asks for five pieces of information upfront, but only two are actually required to get started.

The other three can be collected later or inferred from usage. By making this simple change—deferring non-essential fields—you remove friction and guide users to value faster. Activation improves by 20-30% with one straightforward fix.

The best teams treat onboarding as a continuous optimization process. They run Krux AI analysis before launching new onboarding flows, after making changes based on user feedback, and periodically to catch issues that have crept in over time.
