About Gainsight

Overview

Gainsight is a customer success and retention platform built to keep customers getting value, staying, and growing. It gives teams and AI agents the context to act at the right moment, so more customers renew and expand.

The product family spans Gainsight CS for customer success, Gainsight PX for in-app guidance, Gainsight CC for customer communities, Skilljar for customer education, and Staircase AI for turning signals into scored risk. An Agentic AI offering lets organizations buy the foundation, build custom agents and workflows, or hire Gainsight experts to run renewals at scale.

Key Benefits

  • Track customers across the full journey, from onboarding and adoption through renewal and expansion
  • Turn every customer signal into scored risk and a recommended action with Staircase AI
  • Drive adoption with in-app guidance that meets users where they get stuck via Gainsight PX
  • Give customers one place to ask, answer, and learn together with Gainsight CC
  • Convert new customers into product experts with Skilljar academies that scale
  • Hand off renewals to Gainsight experts and agents to keep the outcome without staffing the motion

How It Works

Teams first wire their customer context into the platform. They can then deploy ready-made apps and agents, build custom agents and workflows on that wired-in context, or hand renewals to Gainsight experts. The platform surfaces the right action at the right moment so customers get value, stay, and grow.

Use Cases

  • Customer Success teams spot warning signs before renewal day and act on scored risk
  • Product teams close the gap between shipped and understood with in-app guidance
  • Education teams run academies that turn every learner into a product expert
  • Community teams unify customer questions, answers, and learning in one place
  • Revenue teams find growth already inside the customer base and expand accounts
