Overview

AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Loom, Notion AI) cuts the transcription and drafting time on turning employee interviews and screen recordings into a finished SOP, but human validation with the actual process owner is what preserves operational accuracy — an SOP that skips a step nobody remembered to mention is worse than useless once someone follows it literally. Sold per document to SMEs and operations teams standardizing recurring processes.

Why it works

AI cuts the transcription and drafting time on turning an employee interview into a written procedure substantially. Human validation with the actual process owner is what preserves operational accuracy — a documented SOP that skips a step nobody remembered to mention is worse than useless once someone follows it literally.

How it makes money

Per deliverable + retainer

How to start

Pick a niche (SMEs, operations teams) so your SOP format matches what that audience expects.
Create an SOP template covering purpose, steps, exceptions and owner consistently.
Interview the process owner to capture how the work is actually done, not the idealized version.
Record the interview (with permission) so nothing gets lost in note-taking.
Transcribe the recording as the raw material for the first draft.
Draft the SOP with ChatGPT or Claude, structured against the template.
Validate the draft with the process owner — this catches steps that were skipped or assumed.
Add exceptions and edge cases the owner mentions but almost forgot.
Publish the finished SOP in the team's actual documentation system.
Offer paid updates as the process changes, since an unmaintained SOP goes stale fast.
