đź’ˇ SaaS Idea: FlowSheet

AI SOP builder that turns any screen recording into a polished, privacy-safe step-by-step guide with auto-screenshots, captions, redactions, and exports to Notion/Confluence/Google Docs. Focused on teams seeking cheaper, more flexible Scribe/Tango alternatives.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

Problem & Proposed Solution

Teams need to create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or internal documentation quickly. Tools like Scribe (scribehow.com) and Tango (tango.us) record a workflow and auto-generate a step-by-step guide with screenshots. These products work, but:

  • They become pricey at scale (Scribe Pro is $29-$23/seat/mo, Enterprise higher).
  • Privacy/Security is a recurrent objection – screenshots are uploaded to the vendor’s cloud.
  • Users want more export/control (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs) and built-in redaction. Reddit thread supplied by the user – r/productivity » “Looking for a free or cheap Scribe alternative” – is exactly the pain point. (Unable to scrape due to DNS error, but title already signals demand.)

FlowSheet promises cheaper pricing, on-device redaction, and multi-format export – a clear positioning wedge.
