# Overview

> For AI agents: a documentation index is available at [/docs/llms.txt](/docs/llms.txt). Append `.md` to any page URL for markdown, or send `Accept: text/markdown`.

Guides are in-product messages that prompt users to complete tasks, explore features, or learn about your product. Guides use behavioral triggers, strike detection, and rate-limiting to avoid disrupting users.

Guides support [conditional logic](https://amplitude.com/docs/guides-and-surveys/conditional-logic) on buttons, so you can create personalized experiences that adapt based on user properties.
