About Gainsight
Gainsight is a commercial customer success platform used by teams that want to keep customers, help them get value and grow their accounts. It brings together signals from across a customer relationship to score risk and suggest the right next action, so customer success managers can focus on the accounts that need attention.
The product family includes the core Customer Success application, Staircase AI for relationship signals, Atlas AI agents that cover long-tail accounts, Skilljar by Gainsight for customer education academies, Customer Communities and Product Experience for in-app guidance. Solutions are organized around digital customer hubs, retention, expansion, scale and efficiency, and product adoption, with a version for SAP Sales Cloud and an Essentials package. The vendor runs the Pulse conference and publishes an MCP library and developer documentation. Gainsight is proprietary and delivered as a hosted service. Visitors can request a demo, and a pricing page describes how its products are packaged.
