Product festival draws 2,000 product and digital leaders

RALEIGH, N.C., October 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Pendo, the all-in-one product experience platform, today closed out its eighth annual Pendomonium product festival, gathering a record crowd of 2,000 product and digital leaders to explore the intersection of AI in today’s software products. 

From the main stage, Pendo executives also announced a series of new products and features that enhance the Pendo One platform, along with the company’s acquisition of Product Collective, a community serving product and digital teams and producer of popular events like INDUSTRY and the New York Product Conference. 

“While we continue to add exciting new capabilities to the Pendo One platform, Pendo is more than just software,” said Todd Olson, CEO and co-founder of Pendo. “As product and digital teams grow in influence and responsibility in today’s organizations in the age of AI – it’s critical for them to learn from each other, share best practices and build relationships. Through Pendomonium, Mind the Product, and now Product Collective, we’re thrilled to convene the product community for years to come.”

New products and features in the Pendo One platform equip product teams to provide personalized product experiences to their users, both efficiently and at scale. New capabilities include:

  • Orchestrate: A new product that enables product and growth teams to create and coordinate messages across email and in-app guides to help improve user onboarding, adoption, or retention.
  • Pendo Listen fka Zelta: AI-driven insights culled from up to 150 disparate qualitative data sources to help product teams quickly validate ideas and identify new product opportunities. Listen includes Pendo’s first conversational user interface, enabling teams to create prompts to get insights from their user feedback.
  • Embedded content: A no-code way to personalize applications, websites, and buying experiences for users, without relying on support from marketing or engineering.
  • AI-powered Insights based on trends in user behavior, revealing ways to increase retention throughout a product. Each insight includes a quantified opportunity for growth, and AI-recommended next steps to bring it to life, along with an explanation of how AI arrived at its conclusions. 
  • Pre-built dashboard templates to streamline the dashboard creation process. Pendo users can create their own templates, and then easily launch a complete dashboard with a single click to monitor the results of a recent feature release or adoption campaign.
  • Collaboration: A communication layer that enables team members across an organization to have discussions and brainstorm ideas inside Pendo.
  • Identity mapping to manage and measure a user’s end-to-end journey from unknown website visitor to becoming an authenticated logged-in user.
