6 New Updates in Our February 5 Release
Yesterday, we iterated on dozens of user submissions and launched several new features. Here’s a list of them:
New profile page that focuses more on customer expectations, builds trust around the problems pros can solve, and highlights accomplishments earlier in the funnel.
Ability to request a video allows customers to request, either on the profile or within the payment flow, a video message reply from the professionals. This was highly requested and some professionals have said it might even be easier for them to upload a video.
Alternate purchasing flow enables customers to request services directly from a professional’s profile — when professionals add their Outpost link to their LinkedIn bio, this enables quick purchasing without the AI chat.
Chat experience without signing up was one of our biggest requests from our ProductHunt launch—enabling customers to begin building trust with Outpost, without offering their email or phone number.
Draft first message capabilities allow us to add more context when starting a chat with a professional. We will be adding a “Write something for me” feature that takes the previous AI context and drafts a relevant first message.
Email alerting we switched our authentication provider to use email as the primary method and integrated Resend, which allows us to understand more about user preferences, build drip marketing campaigns for all signups, and let users know when message responses are received.
