Action-triggered onboarding

Progressive Disclosure means showing features only when needed. Gamma's popup appears after pasting, so users learn about cards without being overwhelmed at first.

Reactive Onboarding teaches users based on their actions. Gamma explains card splitting right after the user pastes content, making the lesson timely and relevant.

Cognitive Load is the effort needed to learn something new. By offering to split content, Gamma reduces the mental work for users, making the task feel easier and less frustrating.

HubSpot uses a similar popup when users copy-paste emails, suggesting templates. Both tools use user actions to trigger helpful onboarding, so the tips feel useful, not random.

Google Slides shows shortcut tips only when users move items, just like Gamma's card-splitting prompt. Both teach features when users show intent, which makes learning stick.
