You need to use programmatic definition of steps like following:

    var intro = introJs();
      intro.setOptions({
        steps: [
          { 
            intro: "Hello world!"
          },
          { 
            intro: "You <b>don't need</b> to define element to focus, this is a floating tooltip."
          }
        ]
      });

      intro.start();
