Example: a product tour with Qwen Code

An e-commerce back office whose developers left; the owner keeps it running with Qwen Code. New managers on /admin/orders see how to filter unpaid orders, change a status and print a packing slip.

Free on the Clew Free plan — no card, no time limit: one site and up to 3 published tours or tooltips. Audience rules and A/B tests come with Pro.

How to build the product tour with Qwen Code, step by step

  1. Step 01

    Copy your Clew snippet

    Create a free account (or sign in), add your site and open Admin → Overview. Click the line in the “No signal from the widget yet.” card to copy it — it carries your real site key instead of the placeholder.

    <!-- Clew: replace PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY with the site key from Admin > Overview -->
    <script src="https://tryclew.io/widget/PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY.js" async></script>

  2. Step 02

    Run Qwen Code in the project folder

    Install the open-source Qwen Code CLI and run qwen in your project folder. It reads the repository and edits files after your confirmation. Qwen Chat on the web only suggests code you would paste yourself.

  3. Step 03

    Send the prompt with your key

    Replace PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY with your key and send the prompt.

    Add the Clew onboarding widget to this app.
    
    Insert this exact tag once so it loads on every page, including after client-side route changes:
    <script src="https://tryclew.io/widget/PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY.js" async></script>
    
    Find the root HTML file or root layout of this project (index.html for Vite, app/layout.tsx with next/script for Next.js App Router, nuxt.config.ts app.head.script for Nuxt, the base template for server-rendered apps) and add the tag there.
    
    Also add stable data-tour attributes to the elements a product tour will point at: the main navigation, the primary create/add button, the main filter or search, and the page heading — for example data-tour="create-button". Do not change their styles, text or behaviour.
    
    Rules:
    - Use the script URL exactly as given. Do not download it, bundle it or install an npm package.
    - If the project sets a Content-Security-Policy, allow https://tryclew.io in script-src and connect-src.
    - Change nothing else and show me the diff.

  4. Step 04

    Confirm the edits and deploy

    Confirm the edits after checking the diff, commit, and deploy as usual.

  5. Step 05

    Build the tour on top of your page

    In Clew open Flows → + New flow, keep Format at Step-by-step tooltips and press Edit on your site. On your page press Pick element and click the element for step 1, then write a title and one or two sentences. Repeat for 3–5 steps; the preview updates as you type.

  6. Step 06

    Choose where, when and for whom it shows

    In the same editor, set Where to show (page URL), When to show, Audience targeting and Frequency. These are the settings of the example above:

    SettingValue
    FormatStep-by-step tooltips
    Where to show (page URL)Section by prefix /admin/orders
    When to showRight on page load
    Audience targetingNo rules — everyone who opens the page
    FrequencyOnce per visitor

  7. Step 07

    Publish and check it on the live site

    Set Status to Published and save. Open the page in a private window — Clew remembers who has already seen a “once” item, so your usual browser may skip it. Views, completions and drop-offs appear in the tour stats.

Pitfalls: product tour with Qwen Code

Confirm file edits one by one

Keep the default approval mode so you see every change. The product tour needs the tag, a few attributes and, where relevant, one identify call — nothing else.

Admin panels behind a login

URL rules work on any path, including /admin. Build the product tour while signed in as a typical staff member so the elements you pick are the ones they see.

Generated class names change on every rebuild

AI-built apps often use utility classes or hashed CSS modules. A selector like .bg-blue-600.px-4 breaks after the next prompt. That’s why the prompt above asks for data-tour attributes: pick those elements and the tour survives regenerations.

Questions and answers

Does Qwen Code need internet access to Clew?

No. It only edits your files; the widget loads in your users’ browsers.

Which Qwen model does this need?

The default coding model in Qwen Code handles it; the task is a small, well-described edit.

Is the product tour free?

Yes — tours are on the Free plan with up to 3 published. You only need Pro for audience rules, A/B tests and more tours.

Can’t I just ask the AI to build the tour?

You can, but then every text change is a new prompt, a new diff and a new deploy, and you get no stats. With Clew the AI adds one line and a few attributes once; the tour itself is edited in minutes by anyone on the team.

One line on your site — then tours, tooltips and checklists without releases.
