Guidance Sessions

Overview

A Guidance Session is an active, multi-step interactive tour where the assistant physically navigates the user across your application, highlights UI elements, scrolls to specific sections, and verifies user completion of each step.

What is a Guidance Session?

Unlike static tooltips, an Asiyst guided session is conversational:

1. The assistant explains a feature and scrolls the viewport to target element #api-key-input.

1. The assistant highlights the button with an animated golden halo.

1. The visitor performs the action (e.g., clicks "Generate Key").

1. The SDK senses the DOM mutation and the assistant immediately congratulates the user and advances to step 2.
