Scribe

Automatically captures how work gets done and turns it into step-by-step guides and SOPs

Visit Scribe

Scribe is a documentation platform that records the steps a person takes in a browser, desktop, or mobile app and turns them into written how-to guides with screenshots. It is designed to capture how work actually gets done, so the resulting guides can serve as context for both human teams and AI agents. The platform also offers an MCP and API for feeding workflow content into other AI tools.

Core capabilities include Capture, which automatically generates step-by-step guides; Optimize, which analyzes workflows to surface bottlenecks and redundancies; and a Platform layer for specialized intelligence. AI-powered features include Scribe titles, descriptions, page generation from a prompt, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text. Integrations span AI tools such as Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor, as well as wikis, communication, CRM, project management, CMS, and LMS platforms. Security features include admin-enforced, automatic, and manual redaction, role-based access control, SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and IP whitelisting, with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and FERPA compliance noted.

Scribe is aimed at teams in AI and automation, IT, operations, finance, and HR and L&D, with use cases including AI transformation, employee training, powering AI agents, software implementation, and onboarding. It is available for Windows, Mac, Chrome, and Edge. The pages indicate a free plan, an Enterprise edition, and a sales contact path, but do not specify seat-based or usage-based pricing.
