Chrome extension records product walkthroughs, uses vision language, computer vision, voice + DOM data to generate docs in a block-based editor.

Product has option to publish auto-branded docs on custom domain, with brand scraped from your site. Chatbot context is updated on every publish. Exports to md+txt.

This is cool. So I can give it a recording and it'll create documents on my product?

Can you "string together" multiple videos?

The Chrome extension records your screen as you demo processes - recognizes the important elements and organizes them into logical sequence.

Yes - you can string together multiple recordings, they are automatically named and organized into an editable table of contents.

We have video uploads on the roadmap that I'd be happy to show you if you email – adi@docshound.com

Great! Will email you

Seems handy for what we're building right now

Interesting, sounds like what a lot of people at my company wish Fireflies did. Do you see them as a possible competitor? This fills a different space but is closely related.

Internal documentation is SUCH a hassle though, glad to see a tool like this being developed.

I see the meeting transcript tools as complementary vs. competitive. Super valuable data source though scale is massive and can often contain outdated info / casual conversations don't reflect final decisions.

Definitely interested in all feedback using the product for the internal use case! We have many users that use the product for internal processes. The extension has flexible screen share options (window, full screen) - specifically to capture multi step workflows effectively.

The general idea is to try and capture specific knowledge assets – that already flows around orgs – while it is in transit naturally, vs. an add-on task.

I was in an area where I couldn't do any narration/voice with the demo and it still did really good just from the visuals + DOM, pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.
