Skene

About Skene

Skene is the autonomous growth engine for the modern developer. It transforms how products scale by turning your codebase into a self-optimizing growth machine. Built specifically for indie developers, early-stage startups, and product-led growth (PLG) companies, Skene eliminates the need for manual growth hacking or dedicated growth teams. It achieves this by directly analyzing your customer code to understand user behavior, detect friction, and automatically improve key metrics like onboarding completion, user activation, and long-term retention. The platform observes real user actions, identifies drop-off points, and then autonomously creates, tests, and deploys improved user flows. This means your product's growth infrastructure learns and evolves with every commit. Instead of wrestling with external dashboards and brittle third-party scripts, Skene integrates growth as a native, version-controlled component of your stack. It empowers builders to stop managing widgets and start shipping powerful, self-improving growth loops directly from their IDE, making continuous optimization an inherent part of the development process.

Features of Skene

Codebase-Derived Growth Signals

Skene goes beyond surface-level analytics by directly analyzing your application's codebase to identify genuine growth signals. It automatically scans your repository structure, understands user flows as they are built, and detects real friction points and activation opportunities from the source. This provides a deeply contextual and accurate foundation for all optimizations, ensuring that growth actions are based on how your product actually works, not just on superficial user clicks.

Autonomous Flow Optimization Engine

The core of Skene is its self-learning engine that handles the entire optimization cycle. It observes user actions to pinpoint where they struggle or drop off. Then, it automatically generates improved versions of critical journeys—like onboarding or feature discovery—tests them against each other, measures the impact on your goals, and deploys the winning configuration. This creates a perpetual motion machine for product improvement without any manual intervention.

Prompt-Driven Growth Infrastructure

Skene reimagines growth tooling as a promptable layer within your development environment. You can initiate audits, generate manifests, and implement optimizations through simple prompts in your IDE or terminal. This integrates growth work seamlessly into your existing workflow, treating it as code you own and control, rather than an external, siloed service that operates as a mysterious black box.

Integrated Analytics & Manifest Generation

The platform provides clear, actionable insights derived from its analysis. It generates a detailed growth manifest that outlines detected signals, friction points, and recommended actions. This gives you full visibility into the optimization process and the data driving it, all while keeping that intelligence within your ecosystem, accessible to your AI agents and tools, not locked away in a third-party dashboard.

Use Cases of Skene

Indie Developer Growth Automation

Solo founders and small dev teams use Skene to offload the complex, time-consuming work of growth optimization they simply don't have hours for. It acts as an automated co-pilot that continuously improves their product's user experience and conversion metrics, allowing them to focus on building core features while their onboarding and activation flows improve themselves.

Early-Stage Startup "Growth Team in a Box"

For startups pre-product-market fit or before hiring a growth team, Skene provides an immediate, sophisticated growth capability. It systematically tackles onboarding, activation, and retention, delivering data-driven optimizations and scalable processes from day one. This accelerates learning cycles and helps achieve crucial metrics faster without increasing headcount or operational complexity.

PLG Company Metric Optimization

Established product-led growth companies use Skene to tighten their activation funnel and expand customer lifetime value (LTV) efficiently. The platform's autonomous A/B testing and flow optimization relentlessly pursue marginal gains in key journeys, driving higher conversion rates and stronger retention loops, all while operating within the existing tech stack and development workflow.

Legacy Stack Replacement & Modernization

Teams frustrated with slow, brittle third-party tools for tours, analytics, and lifecycle emails use Skene to replace their entire legacy growth stack. It consolidates multiple point solutions into a single, code-native system that updates automatically with every deploy, eliminating maintenance overhead, performance drag, and data silos.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PLG software?

PLG, or Product-Led Growth, software is designed to help users discover and realize value within a product independently, without requiring manual intervention from sales or customer success teams. It automates the user journey, guiding them toward activation, driving feature adoption, and strengthening retention through the product experience itself. Skene is a next-generation PLG infrastructure that builds these capabilities directly from your code.

How is Skene different from traditional customer experience software?

Traditional tools like tour builders or analytics platforms require manual configuration, constant maintenance, and rely on fragile UI overlays that break with every code deploy. Skene is fundamentally different: it reads your actual codebase to automatically understand and generate onboarding, analytics, and automation. When you push new code, Skene's understanding and generated flows update automatically, making it a resilient and integrated part of your development lifecycle.

How long does it take to set up?

Setup is designed to be incredibly fast, taking less than 60 seconds. You simply connect your GitHub or GitLab repository with read-only access. Skene then automatically analyzes your codebase to generate PLG flows and identify optimization opportunities. No initial code changes, API modifications, or snippet pasting is required to get started.

Is my code secure?

Absolutely. Security is a core principle. Skene only requires read-only access to your repository, meaning it cannot push or alter your code. All analysis is performed in a secure, isolated environment. Your code and the insights derived from it remain under your control, treating growth intelligence as a private asset of your engineering team.
