Prompt objective
Identify and eliminate onboarding friction that prevents new users from reaching the product's 'aha moment'.
Real use case
Gestor.io, a financial management platform for micro-businesses, gets 2,000 sign-ups per month but only 22% complete onboarding. They discovered that step 3 (importing bank data) has a 60% abandonment rate.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Optimize the onboarding for [PRODUCT NAME] to increase activation rate from [CURRENT RATE]% to [TARGET]%. **Current State Analysis:** - Total onboarding steps: [NUMBER] - Drop-off per step (report or map): - Step 1: [%] completion - Step 2: [%] - Step 3: [%] - ... - Average time to complete: [MINUTES] - Identified aha moment: [WHAT ACTION] **Optimization Framework (for each step):** 1) What does the user need to do? 2) What value do they receive upon completion? 3) What friction exists? (UX, content, technical) 4) Can it be simplified, skipped, or postponed? 5) What incentive could accelerate completion? **Proposed Redesign:** - New flow (reordered/simplified steps) - Progressive disclosure: what to show now vs. later - Gamification: progress bar, checklist, celebrations - Smart defaults (pre-fill as much as possible) - Skip option for non-essential steps **Post-Registration Communication:** - Welcome email (copy + timing) - Nurturing sequence for non-activated users (3 emails) - Push notification / in-app messages - Segmentation: completed onboarding vs. abandoned at each step **Success Metrics:** - Activation rate (D1, D7) - Time-to-value - D30 retention: activated vs. non-activated users Assume [% OF USERS] access via mobile.
