Guidy watches your screen and walks you through a task step by step in real time – pointing directly to the button, menu or setting you need in Excel, Outlook, Google Sheets, Word or anything else on screen – activating only when you ask it to. It states no background access, no training on user data, and end-to-end encryption. It is a lightweight desktop app for Windows and macOS, priced at $69 one-time including starter credits, with pay-as-you-go top-ups for more, and the site states plainly this pricing exists before the product becomes a subscription.
Pointing at the exact on-screen element rather than describing where to click in words is the feature that makes this genuinely more useful than a written help article or a general chatbot: ‘click the third icon from the left in the toolbar’ is a sentence a chatbot can generate confidently and get wrong, where pointing directly at the actual pixel cannot. User-initiated activation with no background access is the correct default for something that watches a screen where sensitive documents and messages routinely sit open.
Stating outright that the one-time price is temporary before a subscription model arrives is honest, and also means anyone who buys today should expect that dynamic to change – it is not a lifetime deal in the usual sense, and future functionality may sit behind the subscription this pricing is explicitly described as preceding. Read the current terms with that in mind rather than assuming today’s $69 buys tomorrow’s product unchanged.
