# Overview

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](/docs/guides-and-surveys/conditional-logic) on buttons, so you can create personalized experiences that adapt based on user properties.

## Guide templates

When you create a guide, start with a blank guide or select a template:

- Tour: guide users through your product.
- Announcement: share product changes, company updates, or new features.
- Checklists; {.tag .web .zero}: show step-by-step instructions for completing tasks.
- Carousel; {.tag .mobile .zero}: highlight key features in a swipeable onboarding flow.
- Banners: display important messages or alerts.
- Tooltips: provide tips or context for a specific element on screen.
- Card embed; {.tag .web .zero}: embed a card-format guide or survey in your page layout.
