Guides

Build interactive, multi-step workflows that walk users through structured experiences.

Guides are interactive, multi-step workflows that your companion can present to users. Think of them as structured walkthroughs - troubleshooting wizards, onboarding flows, product tours, or any scenario where you want to lead someone through a sequence of steps rather than a freeform conversation.

Each guide is made up of steps, and each step contains blocks - text, images, videos, documents, questions, actions, and more. Question blocks support branching, so the path a user takes can change based on their answers.

How Users Experience Guides

Users don't launch guides from a dedicated button anymore - a guide is the first tab of the companion's info popup, which opens from the Resources pill in chat. From there they can browse and start any published guide.

How a guide runs depends on how it started:

  • Opened from the info popup - the guide takes over as a full-screen overlay, and the companion's mic and inactivity timer pause for the duration.
  • Offered by the companion mid-conversation - the guide runs as an inline card right in the chat transcript. The mic stays live and users can keep talking while the guide is up, and they can skip out of it at any time.

Where to Find Guides

Guides live under each companion. Open any companion and click Guides in the navigation drawer to see all guides belonging to that companion.

The guides view displays your guides in a grid layout. Each guide card shows the guide's name, description, step count, and a status badge (Draft or Published). You can drag and drop guide cards to reorder them, and use the search bar to find a specific guide by name.
