Parlamain School · Guide-me
Learn by doing, on the real software.
Guide-me takes your student by the hand inside the tool itself, whether it’s yours or not: every step lights up, every action is checked. Guided to learn, unaided to prove they know it.
Guide-me: step-by-step guidance on the real tool. (Called “Guide-moi” in French.)
A Guide-me lesson, as the student sees it
In the demo, the student adds a product to an online shop: nine actions, including typing, picking from a list and ticking a box.
- 1
The student opens the lesson
From a course, a link or a QR code. They click “Follow on the real site”: the software opens and Parlamain takes the lead.
- 2
The site dims, the element lights up
A halo surrounds the button, field or box to touch. The bubble says what to do, and reads it aloud if you chose that.
- 3
Every action is checked
Click, typed text, ticked box, switch, choice in a list, drag and drop: the step only counts if the action is done right. A click elsewhere is flagged.
- 4
End of lesson, summary
Steps completed, skipped, time spent. In exam mode, a score and a certificate to print or download.
Three ways to follow, one recording
The same lesson plays in guided, light or exam mode. You only record once.
Guided
The default mode: the instruction is shown and read aloud, and the element is lit up. Ideal for a first time.
Light
Only the element is lit, with no text. The student remembers the action; the bubble comes back if they hesitate.
Hands-on exam
No help at the start. Three clicks in the wrong place or thirty seconds of hesitation: a hint, then a second one. The score reflects the help received; a pass starts at the threshold you set.
Required or optional steps
You decide, step by step, what can be skipped and what absolutely must be done. A skipped step is offered again at the end.
In the student’s language
Instructions, bubbles and voice in seven languages. The same lesson serves the whole team, each person in their own language.
Resume, redo, start over
Previous, Skip, Retake the exam: the student stays in control. The summary lists what still needs another look.
Simulation or the real software?
Record once. Teach, guide, then assess the skill inside your student’s own software.
Most training tools have people click around a frozen copy of the software. Guide-me has them do it in the real tool, on the student’s own account, with help that fades and then disappears, and progress tracked per person. It’s the difference between knowing the answer and knowing how to do it.

Frequently asked questions
What does my student need to install?+
Chrome and the Parlamain extension (free). It draws the halo and checks the actions on the real site; no web page can do that on its own. The animated playback and the list of steps work anywhere, with nothing to install.
Which software does it work with?+
Anything you use in a browser: your back office, an online tool, a client area, a CMS. Including canvas-style editors like Canva.
What if the site has changed since I recorded the lesson?+
Parlamain finds the element using several clues (text, role, identifier, position). If it has really disappeared, the student can skip the step and you see it in the tracking. “Update screenshots” replays the lesson to refresh the tutorial.
Is the certificate official?+
It’s your certificate: your organization’s name, the lesson title, the score, the date. It attests to a hands-on test passed on the real tool, which a multiple-choice quiz doesn’t prove.
A skill to pass on to your team?
Record the action once; everyone redoes it on the real tool, at their own pace and in their own language.
