Answer 1

You can do it as below if we can add a container div in the HTML:
.container{
background: gray;
padding: 16px 10px;
width:max-content;
}
.xyz-dialog {
background: white;
padding: 1rem;
border-radius: 8px;
position: relative;
width: 300px;
}
.xyz-dialog::after {
content: "";
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 10px solid white;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
}
.body {
margin-top:8px;
color: gray;
font-size: 15px
}
<div class= "container">
<div class="xyz-dialog">
<div class="title"><span> Tip Title</span></div>
<div class="body"> <span>Description</span></div>
</div>
You can do it as below if we cannot touch the HTML structure:
.xyz-dialog {
padding: 1rem;
border-radius: 8px;
position: relative;
width: 300px;
}
.xyz-dialog::after {
content: "";
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 10px solid white;
position: absolute;
top: calc(100% -1rem);
left: 2rem;
}
.xyz-dialog::before {
content: "";
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: gray;
z-index: -1;
}
.title {
padding: 1rem;
background: white;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0 0;
margin: 0 0 -5px 0;
}
.body {
color: gray;
font-size: 15px;
background: white;
margin: 0;
padding: 1rem;
border-radius: 0 0 10px 10px;
}
<div class="xyz-dialog">
<div class="title"><span> Tip Title</span></div>
<div class="body"> <span>Description</span></div>
</div>

Answer 2

You can use after and border.
.xyz-dialog::after{
content: "";
border-top: 12px solid #f1f1f1;
border-right: 8px solid transparent;
border-left: 8px solid transparent;
position: absolute;
bottom: -12px;
left: 4%;
}
.xyz-dialog{
width: 50%;
background: #f1f1f1;
border-radius: 0.3em;
padding: 5px 30px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
text-align: center;
box-sizing: border-box;
flex-direction: column;
}
<div class="xyz-dialog">
<div class="title"><span> Tip Title</span></div>
<div class="body"> <span>Description</span></div>
</div>

Little late. Two Boxes. For the small noise you use the css pseudo class after.
body {
background-color: #999;
}
.wrapper {
padding:20px;
}
h3 {
margin:0;
color: #000;
}
.bubble {
position: relative;
background: white;
color: #999;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 16px;
text-align: left;
width: 250px;
height: 120px;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 0px;
}
.bubble:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 0;
z-index: 1;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 20px 20px 0;
border-color: transparent #fff transparent transparent;
bottom: -16px;
left: 17%;
margin-left: -10px;
}
<div class="bubble">
<div class="wrapper">
<h3>title</h3>
<div>content</div>
</div>
</div>
