commandbar

CommandBar is a product-adoption and in-app user-assistance platform that helps SaaS teams onboard, guide, and support users directly inside their web applications. Its embeddable widget bundles a command palette / universal search (Spotlight), an AI copilot, contextual help (HelpHub), nudges and product tours, checklists, and in-app surveys, all driven by a JavaScript SDK (npm `commandbar`) that boots against an organization ID. CommandBar was founded in 2020, backed by Insight Partners among others, and acquired by Amplitude in 2024; the product is now delivered as Amplitude Guides & Surveys. The standalone commandbar.com developer surface (SDK reference, REST API, changelog) has been retired and redirects to Amplitude, though the npm SDK remains published.

commandbar is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Product Adoption, User Onboarding, In-App Support, and Digital Adoption.

commandbar’s developer surface includes documentation and 6 more developer resources.
