Glyde - Create Step by Step Guides & SOPs users statistics

AI-powered screen recorder that turns workflows into step-by-step guides and SOPs.

Glyde is an AI-powered screen recorder that watches how you work and turns your workflows into polished, professional documentation.

Click record, do your work, click stop.

One click to import Loom videos or upload your videos.

Glyde produces structured guides, SOPs, training materials, and documentation.

WHAT GLYDE DOES

Glyde sits in your Chrome sidebar or as a floating toolbar. When you start recording, it quietly observes your browser activity — capturing interactions, taking automatic screenshots, and tracking navigation across tabs. When you stop, the Glyde web app uses AI to transform that raw recording into organized, well-written documentation.

The result is not a video. It is not a pile of screenshots. It is structured, step-by-step documentation with context-rich descriptions, professional formatting, and logical organization — the kind of documentation that would take hours to write manually.

Glyde can import your Loom library in one click and convert them to SOPs.

CORE FEATURES

Record Any Workflow

• Long-form recording sessions for complex, multi-step processes
• Automatic capture of clicks, text inputs, scrolls, and navigation
• Multi-tab support — recording follows you across tab switches with seamless continuity
• Manual screenshot button for capturing specific states on demand
• Keyboard shortcuts for hands-free control (Shift+Alt+E to stop, Shift+Alt+P to pause/resume, Shift+Alt+T to take screenshot)

AI-Powered Documentation Generation

• Recordings are automatically converted into professional documentation
• AI generates context-rich step descriptions that explain the "why," not just the "what"
• Long recordings are auto-segmented into logical sections with structured navigation
• Output includes formatted callouts, tips, warnings, code blocks, and diagrams
• Source integration validates generated docs against your existing knowledge base (Notion, GitHub, Confluence)

AI-Guided Evidence Collection (Compliance Workflows)

• Assign structured evidence tasks with specific capture requirements
• Real-time AI copilot analyzes screenshots as you work and guides you through requirements
• Progress checklist tracks which evidence elements have been captured
• AI quality scoring grades your evidence before submission (Excellent, Acceptable, Needs Improvement)
• Submit evidence packs directly for review

Privacy-First Redaction

• Client-side blur tool lets you redact sensitive information before screenshots leave your browser
• Draw blur regions over passwords, personal data, financial information, or anything else
• All redaction happens locally — sensitive data never reaches our servers

Flexible Recording Interface

• Sidebar mode: Full recording controls and AI guidance in Chrome's side panel
• Floating mode: Minimalist toolbar that stays out of your way
• In-page popover: Quick access to start recording from any page
• 3-2-1 countdown before recording starts (configurable)
• Element highlighting shows what Glyde is tracking (configurable)

HOW IT WORKS

1. Install and sign in Add Glyde to Chrome and create a free account. The extension appears as a sidebar or floating toolbar on every page.

2. Start recording Click "Start Recording" and perform your workflow naturally. Work at your own pace — Glyde captures everything automatically. Switch tabs, fill forms, click through menus. It all gets recorded.

3. Review and stop During recording, you can pause, take manual screenshots, blur sensitive data, or review captured steps. When you are done, click stop.

4. Generate documentation Glyde's AI analyzes your entire recording — screenshots, interactions, navigation patterns — and produces structured, professional documentation. Topics are auto-organized with a logical hierarchy.

5. Edit and publish Refine your docs in a rich editor with professional formatting. Publish to a branded documentation site, export as PDF or HTML, or integrate with your existing tools.

MULTI-TAB CONTINUITY

Real workflows span multiple tabs. Glyde handles this gracefully:

• When you switch tabs during recording, Glyde detects the change
• A prompt appears asking whether to continue recording on the new tab
• If you continue, a navigation step is recorded to maintain context
• If you pause, recording waits until you return or choose to continue
• Your documentation accurately reflects the full cross-tab workflow

WHAT GLYDE PRODUCES

Unlike screen recording tools that output video files, or screenshot tools that create flat image galleries, Glyde produces structured documentation:

• Step-by-step guides with numbered instructions and annotated screenshots
• SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) with consistent formatting
• Training materials organized by topic and workflow stage
• Compliance evidence packs with quality scoring and review workflows
• Professional documentation sites with custom branding and themes

PROFESSIONAL EDITOR

After generation, edit your docs in a rich editor:

• Familiar block-based editing (similar to Notion)
• Callouts, tabs, cards, code blocks, and tables
• Step sequence layouts for walkthroughs
• Mermaid diagrams for flowcharts and architecture
• Version history with change tracking
• Team collaboration tools

PUBLISHING AND EXPORT

Share your documentation however works best:

• Publish branded documentation sites with custom themes
• Export to PDF for offline sharing
• Download as HTML files
• Embed anywhere with responsive iframes
• Export to Markdown, Docusaurus, VitePress, or Fumadocs
• Generate walkthrough videos from recordings

PERFECT FOR

Product Teams Record product workflows and generate up-to-date documentation that stays in sync with your product. Create feature guides, admin walkthroughs, and release notes without manual effort.…
