Scribe
Automatically creates step-by-step guides with screenshots from any workflow you perform on your computer.
Overview
Scribe is a process documentation tool that automatically creates step-by-step how-to guides by recording your screen as you complete any workflow. Install the browser extension or desktop app, click Record, perform the task, and Scribe generates a complete document with annotated screenshots of every click and keystroke, ready to share with teammates or clients.
The AI layer enhances the generated document: it writes descriptive text for each step ('Click the Settings gear icon in the top right corner'), suggests a title and introduction, and formats the guide for clarity. The resulting documentation is accurate and detailed because it captures exactly what was done, rather than relying on manual description that often misses steps.
Scribe is used by operations teams, customer success managers, and trainers who spend significant time documenting processes for onboarding, standard operating procedures, and client training materials. The time saving is significant: a process that would take 30 minutes to document manually takes 3 minutes with Scribe. The shareable link format allows instant distribution without exporting.

Use cases
ASEAN Perspective
Scribe in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
Scribe is a best-in-class process-documentation tool: it records your screen actions and auto-generates step-by-step guides with annotated screenshots, slashing the time to create SOPs, onboarding docs and how-tos. The browser/desktop capture is fast and the output is clean, making it a clear winner for ops, support and enablement teams.
The free tier is limited and advanced controls (redaction, branding, enterprise admin) sit in paid plans, and it is narrowly focused on how-to docs rather than general knowledge management. Highly recommended for documenting repeatable processes; English-first, global, easily usable from ASEAN.
Notable facts
- Scribe documents a process 15x faster than manual documentation — a 30-minute process guide that takes 3 minutes to create vs traditional screen recording and annotation.
- The tool was founded by Jennifer Smith, one of the few female founders in the AI productivity space, after she grew frustrated manually documenting processes for new employees.
- Scribe generates documents that update automatically if the underlying software interface changes — using AI to re-map steps to the new UI.
