In this paper, we make the first steps towards developing a fully automatic tool for supporting users for navigation on the web. We developed a prototype that takes a user-goal and a website URL as input and predicts the correct hyperlink to click on each web page starting from the home page, and uses that as support for users. We evaluated our system's usefulness with actual data from real users. It was found that users took significantly less time and less clicks; were significantly less disoriented and more accurate with system-generated support; and perceived the support positively. Projected extensions to this system are discussed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
