What Is Guidde?
Documentation is essential but painful. Writing step-by-step guides means capturing screenshots, annotating them, writing descriptions, and repeating the process for every workflow. The result: documentation becomes a task everyone avoids, leaving knowledge trapped in people's heads instead of accessible resources.
Guidde flips this equation. Record yourself completing a workflow, and AI transforms that recording into a polished how-to video with written steps. Hit record, run through the process, and watch a finished tutorial appear almost instantly.
For support teams drowning in repetitive questions, product managers chasing feature adoption, and sales reps needing quick demo clips—Guidde delivers documentation efficiency without video production expertise.
Key Features Explained
One-Click Screen Capture
Install the Chrome extension or desktop app, press Capture, and go. Guidde records every click and keystroke as you complete your workflow. When you stop recording, the system automatically splits footage into logical steps—no manual timestamp hunting required.
The capture is smart: it identifies distinct actions and creates natural breakpoints where step descriptions belong.
AI Storyline Generation
Once recording stops, GPT-powered writing kicks in. Guidde drafts clear, concise descriptions for each step based on what happened on screen. You're not staring at a blank page wondering how to explain clicking a button—the AI handles that.
The generated text is editable, so you can refine wording, add context, or adjust tone. But the heavy lifting is done for you.

Voiceover and Translation
Choose from 200+ synthetic voices across 100+ languages. Text-to-speech is generated on the fly, converting your step descriptions into professional narration without recording your own voice.
For global teams or multilingual audiences, this feature eliminates the need for translation services or multilingual staff. Record once, publish in any language.
Drag-and-Drop Visual Editor
The editing interface feels like PowerPoint for video. Trim clips, add shapes, insert callout boxes, overlay subtitles, and customize colors without video editing expertise.
Non-video-professionals can produce polished, branded guides that look like they came from a production team.
Branding Controls
Upload your logo, set brand fonts, define color palettes, and save everything as a Brand Kit. Every tutorial you create maintains consistent visual identity.
Paid plans remove Guidde's watermark, so external-facing content looks completely custom.
Privacy and Redaction
Click to blur sensitive fields manually, or enable "magic redaction" to automatically detect and mask personal data across recordings. Great for regulated industries where PII exposure in documentation creates compliance risk.

Analytics Dashboard
Built-in metrics show watch time, completion rate, and drop-off points. Data reveals where viewers get confused, giving you clues for improving both documentation and the underlying product experience.
Sharing and Embeds
Publish via direct links, GIF exports, or embed codes for Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot, ClickUp, and dozens more platforms. Paste the link and video renders inline—no file attachments or hosting required.
Real-World Use Cases
Customer Support Teams
Support agents create video guides for common questions, reducing ticket volume and resolution time. Instead of typing the same instructions repeatedly, they share pre-made tutorials.
Product Teams
Product managers document new features for internal training, customer onboarding, and sales enablement. Feature releases include video documentation from day one.
Sales Teams
Sales reps create quick demo clips showing specific workflows relevant to prospect conversations. Personalized video outreach stands out in crowded inboxes.

Guidde vs. Alternatives
vs. Loom: Loom is general video messaging and screen recording. Guidde specializes in structured step-by-step tutorials with AI-generated descriptions.
vs. Scribe: Scribe focuses on written documentation from screen recordings. Guidde produces video + text together for richer content.
vs. Tango: Tango is similar in concept but Guidde offers more voiceover options, better language coverage, and more embedding integrations.
vs. Manual Documentation: Manual screenshot-and-write approaches take hours. Guidde produces polished guides in minutes.
vs. Camtasia: Camtasia is powerful video editing software for professionals. Guidde is simpler and faster for straightforward how-to content.
Tips for Best Results
Plan your workflow first: Know the steps before recording. Fumbling creates awkward guides.
Keep tutorials focused: One workflow per guide. Don't combine unrelated processes.
Review AI descriptions: The generated text is good but benefits from human refinement for clarity and brand voice.
Use embeds strategically: Embed guides directly in Notion wikis, Zendesk articles, and Slack channels where questions arise.
Track analytics: Watch completion rates to identify confusing steps that need improvement.
