We used Wilco to help new users quickly understand Mixpanel’s value by showcasing our product features through a very immersive experience. With Wilco's training, our users got the "aha moment" from the get-go. The team at Wilco supported us throughout the quest creation process, and we also leveraged their AI quest generator.

Segment is an infrastructure-type tool that can be hard to demo without having other components present. Wilco's quest builder makes it easy to have those components preconfigured so that the prospective customer can jump right into the learning. Wilco was a great fit for us at Segment because it neatly wraps the whole developer experience.
