Let’s be real: writing SOPs and compliance docs is nobody’s favorite part of the job.
It’s tedious and it takes forever. And when deadlines are tight or headcount is lean, it’s the first thing to slip through the cracks.
But here’s the thing, if you’re in a regulated industry, missing or outdated documentation is an actual risk and not just an inconvenience. One that’s only growing as organizations juggle more tools, teams, and territories.
That’s where AI comes in and can help.
Specifically, OnScreen Guidance, a digital adoption platform with AI-powered SOP creation that gives compliance and process teams a faster, smarter way to capture and scale repeatable knowledge without all the manual work.
In this blog, we’ll talk about how automation is improving compliance and SOP creation. And how features like Auto Documentation are tackling some of the biggest digital adoption challenges today.
If you’re managing change, running a shared service center, or leading a transformation initiative, you’ve probably seen this play out:
Keeping documentation current shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. But for most teams, it does.
The reality is that manual SOP creation is slow, inconsistent, and hard to scale. That creates friction when you’re trying to:
These are real digital adoption challenges, and they’re exactly why automation matters.
That’s where OnScreen Guidance steps in.
As a leading digital adoption platform (DAP tool), OnScreen Guidance helps organizations deliver contextual guidance and support right inside the apps people use every day. But with the rise of AI, we’ve taken things a step further to make it easier than ever to create, document, and share your processes.
Auto Documentation is one of our most powerful (and underhyped) features. It lets you automatically turn any in-app walkthrough into a static, shareable guide. You get screenshots, step descriptions, and formatting, and it’s all generated for you!
In seconds, you can export a detailed SOP as a PDF or Word doc that’s ready for training, compliance audits, or internal handoffs.
No extra writing. No hunting down screenshots. No formatting headaches.
Just click and go; it’s that simple.
Let’s break down what makes Auto Documentation so useful for compliance and operations teams:
Walk through the process once in your software application. Our platform then captures every click, field, and instruction automatically.
Auto Documentation pulls in the same help text used in your in-app walkthroughs. This keeps your SOPs consistent, clear, and standardized.
Choose your format (PDF or Word), and export your SOP. It comes complete with steps, screenshots, and structure. No formatting is required.
From ERP, CRM and HR systems to finance and procurement platforms, you can quickly document any browser-based process.
For teams in finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and other regulated industries, SOPs aren’t optional. They’re critical for:
Yet most organizations still rely on manual methods that slow things down and leave room for error.
By using AI documentation with Auto Documentation, you can:
You don’t need to overhaul your systems or hire a full-time tech writer/trainer. You just need the right SOP automation tools in place.
What makes OnScreen Guidance unique is how everything ties together.
Your process starts with an in-app walkthrough, something your team is likely building already to support users. With one click, that walkthrough becomes a fully-formed document.
This is what sets OnScreen Guidance apart from other SOP creation software or AI process documentation tools. It’s not just AI for writing content. It’s AI that captures and automates real, lived processes in the systems your teams already use.
Other platforms might help you draft a policy or write a checklist. We help you create real, step-by-step documentation based on how your teams actually work.
Rolling out new systems globally? Need to support multilingual teams?
OnScreen Guidance includes AI Translations too. This lets you localize any guide or SOP instantly. Whether you’re supporting teams in Manila, Munich, or Mexico City, your documentation stays consistent and accessible.
If you’re still creating SOPs and compliance documentation the old-fashioned way, it’s time for a change.
Modern teams don’t have time to document every process manually. And thanks to AI, they don’t have to.
With OnScreen Guidance, you can:
This is the power of automated SOP creation.
