SOP-based training
Train New Hires on the Real Method, and See Who Is Trained
Your best people do not have hours to write training docs. Film the expert doing the task, and AI drafts a step-by-step SOP in under 10 minutes. Put SOPs in a training path, assign it to new hires, and see who has signed off.

How do you track who read a procedure?
Assign the procedure, or a training path of several procedures, to each person or team with a due date. Trainees sign off with a click or a digital signature when they finish. You see progress per person and download a report. When a new version is published, you can require retraining so people sign off again. To prove the work was done, and not only read, use Run mode sign-offs.

The problem
What new hires struggle with
Training depends on who is free to shadow
When a new hire arrives, you pull a senior worker off the line to walk them through the task. The training changes with whoever happens to be available that shift.
A binder is hard to learn a hands-on job from
New hires cannot picture the real motion from a page of text, so they read it once, set it aside, and learn by trial and error at the machine.
The expert's method never gets captured
Your most experienced people know the details no manual holds. When they retire or move on, the real way the job is done goes with them.
New hires take too long to get productive
With nothing to study on their own, trainees ask the same questions over and over and ramp slowly. Time to productivity drags on for weeks longer than it should.
What changes
How SOPX Helps
Your expert films, AI writes the guide
Film an experienced worker doing the task on any phone and AI drafts the full guide, step by step, in under 10 minutes. Your best people review for a few minutes instead of losing an afternoon to writing, then get back to work.
New hires learn from the real motion
A short video step is easier to learn from than a binder. Trainees watch how the task is actually done and copy it, so they arrive at the machine prepared instead of guessing from text.
Assign, sign off, and report
Put SOPs in a set order as a training path and assign it to a person or a team with a due date. Trainees sign off with a click or a digital signature. You see progress per person, download reports, and require retraining when a SOP changes.
In Practice
How SOPX fits a training and L&D manager's week
The training content you never have time to build becomes a few minutes of recording and review.
- 01
Capture the expert before they leave
A veteran operator is leaving in a month, so you film them running their hardest tasks instead of hoping someone remembers the method later.
- 02
Let AI do the writing
By the time you sit down, AI has already drafted the steps. You trim a clip, tighten a line, and add an arrow where a detail is easy to miss.
- 03
Assign the path to new starters
Three new operators start Monday. You assign them the line's training path with a due date, so they learn the basics first and arrive at the machine ready.
- 04
Check who is trained
On Friday you open the progress view, see who has signed off and who is behind, and download a report for the plant manager. When a changeover SOP changes, you require retraining on the new version.
How it works
How It Works
Step 1
Film the expert
Film your best operator running the task with any phone camera, or import an existing PDF training document.
Step 2
AI builds the training guide
AI splits the recording into steps, each with a trimmed video clip and a written description, in under 10 minutes.
Step 3
Assign it to new hires
Trim clips, edit the text, and add annotations. Add the SOP to a training path and assign it. Trainees get an email, study before and during practice, and sign off. You track progress and download a report.
