A 5-minute task. An hour of documentation.

You can do the task in your sleep. You could show a new hire in two minutes, easy.

But writing it down? That's the part that kills you. Screenshots, arrows, numbered lists, formatting, that careful 'first click here, then open the menu and select...' wording. An hour later, you've documented something that takes five minutes to actually do.

Then the UI changes next week and you start over.

What if the guide wrote itself the moment you stopped recording?

Hit record. Hit stop. Your guide is done.

AI-generated step-by-step guides from any screen recording in 30 seconds.

Glitter watches every click while you work and turns each one into a numbered step. The AI writes the instructions, the screenshots ship with click highlights baked in, and sensitive info gets blurred on its own. The moment you stop recording, the guide is ready to share, embed, or export. Probably the fastest way to make step-by-step instructions that don't read like a robot wrote them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI step-by-step guide generator work?

Hit record, run through the task like you normally would, then hit stop. Glitter grabs a screenshot at every click, highlights the exact button or field you touched, and writes the instructions for each step. Your [step-by-step guide](/glossary/step-by-step-guide) is ready in about 30 seconds. No manual screenshotting. No writing from scratch.

Can I create step-by-step instructions without writing them?

Yes. That's pretty much the whole point. The AI watches what you click, pulls in your voice if you narrate, and spits out a numbered list of instructions on its own. You can tweak any step later, but most people just ship the AI version as-is.

Can I edit or reorder steps after generation?

Yes. Every step is editable in the guide editor. Rewrite the AI text, swap screenshots, drag steps around to reorder them, merge two steps into one, or delete the ones you don't need. If the UI changed and only one step is broken, you can re-record that single step instead of redoing the whole guide.

How do I hide passwords or sensitive data in the screenshots?

Glitter has one-click blur built into the screenshot editor. The blur runs on your device, which means passwords, customer names, account numbers, and anything else sensitive never leave your machine. You can also crop, redact rectangles, or replace specific text, which comes in handy when you want a [visual work instruction](/glossary/visual-work-instruction) that's safe to share publicly.

How do I share a step-by-step guide once it is generated?

Every guide gets a public or private share link by default. You can also embed it in Notion, Confluence, Intercom, or anything that takes an iframe. Need offline distribution? Export to PDF, HTML, Word (.docx), or Markdown with one click. Our full [SOP guide](/blog/process-documentation/standard-operating-procedures-guide) covers how teams usually hand these out.

Does the step-by-step guide generator support other languages?

Yes. Glitter transcribes voice narration in 99 languages, and the AI can write step text in any of them. You can also translate an existing guide into another language with a single click, which is handy when you're documenting a process for global teams or customers abroad.

How is this different from other step-by-step guide creators?

Most step-by-step generators capture clicks and screenshots, but the text they write is pretty generic ('Click the blue button'). Glitter's AI pulls in screen context and your voice narration to write step text that actually says what's happening and why. It also works with desktop apps, not just browsers, so you can document Excel, SAP, Photoshop, or whatever software you use.

Is the step-by-step guide generator free?

Yes. The free plan covers the full AI guide generator, automatic screenshots with click highlights, voice transcription, blur, and share links. You get up to 10 guides at no cost. Paid plans add unlimited guides, advanced exports, and team features starting at $16/month.
