The backstory
Scribe records your clicks and turns them into annotated step-by-step guides with screenshots. Copilot and AI help features increasingly explain how to do tasks inside apps, softening demand for separate documentation. Yet Scribe's automatic capture, screenshots and shareable SOPs remain uniquely convenient for training and processes. Because AI guidance overlaps but does not replace captured documentation, it is wounded.
