Small contextual hints attached to specific UI elements. Triggered on hover, first visit, or user action. Best for feature discovery and contextual help.
Full-width or persistent bars that announce new features, maintenance, or upgrade opportunities. High visibility, low friction.
Overlay dialogs that capture user attention for important messages, surveys, or walkthroughs. Use sparingly — avoid for every-session interruptions.
Multi-step interactive guides that walk users through a feature or workflow. The most effective format for onboarding and feature adoption.
Persistent progress widgets showing activation milestones. Users work through items at their own pace — highest ROI for activation.
In-product AI assistants that answer questions, suggest next steps, and guide users to tours. Guidez's AI Guide handles this autonomously.

When you ship a new feature, in-app banners and modal announcements reach 100% of logged-in users — vs 15–20% of email recipients. Segment to users most likely to benefit from the feature.
Show targeted banners to users approaching their plan limit or using features that exist on higher plans. In-app upgrade nudges convert at 3–5× the rate of email upgrade campaigns.
Users who haven't visited a section in 30+ days get a contextual reminder when they return. "It looks like you haven't tried X yet — here's how it works in 90 seconds."
