01

Upload Your Video

Drag and drop any video file or paste a YouTube link. SmartDocs accepts workshops, webinars, tutorials, screen recordings — any format, any length.

02

AI Does the Work

SmartDocs transcribes the audio, identifies every distinct lesson or topic, extracts short clips, captures key screenshots, and writes clear step-by-step instructions.

03

Get Your Guides

Get organized, illustrated SOP documents for each topic. Each guide comes with a short video clip, annotated screenshots, and numbered steps anyone can follow.

Built for real-world training content

Every detail is designed to turn messy, long-form video into polished, usable knowledge.

🎬

Smart Lesson Detection

AI analyzes the transcript to find natural topic boundaries. A 1-hour recording might become 8 focused, standalone guides.

✂️

Auto Clip Generation

Each lesson is extracted as a short video clip with silence removed and clean start/end points. Ready to share immediately.

📸

Screenshot Extraction

Key frames are pulled from each clip at the most informative moments, then captioned with AI vision to annotate what's on screen.

📜

SOP Documents

Each lesson becomes a structured guide with numbered steps, screenshots, and clear instructions. Export as HTML or JSON.

👥

Team Sharing & Collaboration

Share guides with your team instantly. Organize by department, project, or topic. Everyone gets the same clear instructions.
