Guidde is a tool that allows users to create visual documentation — videos, mainly — for software onboarding. It works by capturing a user’s in-app activity through a Chrome extension, then transforming the recording using AI, automation, and contextual analysis to create a video with an “AI-generated storyline”.

Guidde-created videos can optionally feature an AI-generated voice in a desired language, background music, and tags (which the platform automatically generates) that highlight key parts of a software workflow.
