Kaptivolabs

KaptivoLabs is a place created by Kaptivo to demonstrate and test new things straight from our brilliant engineers.  It is where some of our more adventurous users can play around with prototypes and offer early feedback.

These are proof of concepts, demonstrations, prototypes and beta code.

Some  things you find there may make it into the production product quickly while others may stay in the lab for a long time.

Assuming you are comfortable using unsupported software, you are welcome to try it out with the understanding that

This is not-for-production, totally unsupported.
Uptime and availability may vary.
Timelines can vary.
Everything can vary.

You may be presented with one or a set of questions at the end of your Kaptivolabs session,
please take the time to respond.

If you do not see the feedback screen, you can send bugs or questions using the feedback option under the Kaptivo icon in the top-left of the session screen. We do ask that you include your email with the feedback, but we cannot guarantee we will get back to you.

If you would like to have access to any of these specific experiments, please reach out to us via a support ticket to request access.
