MagicHow

MagicHow is a platform designed for the automated creation of step-by-step guides, instructions, manuals, and tutorials. It targets teams and organizations seeking to standardize workflows, accelerate training, and efficiently document processes such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), onboarding materials, and knowledge base articles. The tool leverages AI to help users polish and customize documentation, aiming to streamline the process of creating and sharing instructional content within teams.

The platform offers both a browser extension and a desktop application (compatible with Mac and Windows), enabling users to capture processes across any software. The browser extension allows for instant documentation by capturing step-by-step guides and recording videos directly within the browser. The desktop application extends these capabilities to the entire computer, automatically capturing actions and creating guides or video recordings from any application. MagicHow transforms recorded actions into clean, step-by-step instructions without requiring manual writing, ensuring that all steps are accurately documented.

MagicHow includes a collaborative real-time editor, allowing multiple team members to work on the same document simultaneously without editing conflicts. Users can enhance their guides with features such as tables, diagrams, hints, to-do lists, and annotations directly on screenshots. The platform also provides an AI Writer to generate descriptive text and supporting content, as well as tools to blur sensitive information in screenshots and videos for data protection. Version history is available, enabling users to track edits, revert changes, and maintain accountability.

Guides created in MagicHow can be shared securely with teams, embedded in documentation, or exported in multiple formats including PDF, Word, and Markdown. Access controls allow for inviting users to a workspace, sending public access links, and managing permissions. The platform is positioned for use cases such as process documentation, employee onboarding, tool implementation, answering FAQs, and rapidly building out internal knowledge bases.
