Stepmate is used by two kinds of teams. Start with whichever feels closer to you.
Customers can't figure out your product, and they churn during onboarding.
Pass a URL, get a how-to guide, ship it in 10 languages — stand up help centers for overseas customers in days, not months.
Onboarding new hires and international staff depends on tribal knowledge.
Describe your workflow in plain text, get a structured operational playbook — distributed in every staff member's native language.
Documentation speed keeps your business moving.
When you decide to build manuals, there's no agreement on which pages to cover, in what order, or in what format. The result: every owner writes at a different level of detail, and quality and coverage stay inconsistent.
Manual updates lag behind onboarding new customers and shipping new features. McKinsey research shows customers who fail to complete onboarding churn at 3× the rate of those who do.
Translating your manual into 10 languages with an agency runs $5,000–$20,000 per language and takes months. Global expansion and onboarding for international staff stall — waiting on translation.
Stepmate splits documentation into two layers and automates each one.
Workflows like "new hire joins → create user → assign role → send welcome email." Stepmate assembles these from your plain-text input.
Step-by-step screen instructions — clicks, inputs, navigation. Stepmate generates these automatically from just a URL.
Operational playbooks describe the flow. How-to guides describe the screens.
Pass the URL of your target system, and Stepmate auto-generates a click-by-click how-to guide for each screen — with screenshots (works with form authentication, magic links, and unauthenticated public pages). This becomes the source material for your operational manual.
In the chat interface, write your operational procedure in plain language: "When a new hire joins, first register them as a user, then assign role permissions, then send a welcome email." That's all you need.
AI maps actions like "register a user" or "assign role permissions" to the how-to guides from Step 1. Tasks that don't have a screen (like sending external emails) are preserved as custom steps. Everything is formatted into a unified operational manual.
The completed operational manual comes out already translated into 10 languages. Setting it up for international offices and overseas staff happens with zero additional work.
Stepmate's operational manuals aren't just auto-generated drafts. Four mechanisms are built in to ensure the output is ready to distribute to your real teams.
AI identifies buttons and input fields on each screen and breaks down the user's actions into discrete steps. It also auto-fills prerequisites and completion criteria for each manual, so first-time readers can execute without confusion.
Rough operational flows written in chat are reformatted into a uniform structure: Goal → Prerequisites → Steps → Completion criteria. Granularity stays consistent across owners, so quality remains stable.
Standard support for Japanese, English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Korean. Button labels and technical terms are translated with the screen's context in mind. Any translation you don't like can be edited from the admin console.
Export generated manuals directly to Notion, Google Docs, or Word. They're ready to share as internal wiki content, help-center pages, or onboarding materials right away.
Just enter a URL — and you get a manual with goals, operation steps, and screenshots, generated in 10 languages at once. Describe your workflow in text, and Stepmate assembles a multi-page operational manual from the source materials.
Used by teams of every size, across every industry that needs operational manuals in multiple languages.
Auto-generate UI guides for your web app in 10 languages. Re-generate with one click when the product UI changes.
Translate purchase flows and account-setup guides. Spin up a multilingual help center for international customers in days.
Document internal-system operations in the native languages of overseas offices and international staff. Drastically cut onboarding time.
Auto-generate platform usage guides in each learner's native language, delivering an equivalent experience to students worldwide.
Sure — you can ask an AI to write an operational manual.
But operational manuals can't be fully automated by inference alone.
Why?
Only the people who have actually run the operation can answer that.
That's why Stepmate doesn't write desk-bound manuals from inference. We assemble operational manuals grounded in how your team actually works.
Source generation × Operational assembly × 10-language translation in a single workflow — only Stepmate connects all three today.

AI analyzes the page structure to extract buttons, input fields, and operational flows automatically, so on most screens the initial draft is good enough for real-world use. You can also edit and add to it from the admin console, so the final manual reflects your team's nuance.
Yes — including form authentication (ID and password), magic link (email-based authentication), and unauthenticated public pages. So you can document admin panels and internal-tool screens too.

Japanese, English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Korean — 10 languages in total.
All communication is SSL-encrypted. Sensitive data such as login credentials is stored AES-256 encrypted. Generated manuals are visible only to members of your organization, preventing unintended external leakage.
Yes, you can. Stepmate auto-generates click-by-click how-to guides (clicks, inputs, and screen steps) as source materials, then assembles them into a unified operational manual following the workflow you describe in plain text — with 10-language translation included end-to-end.
A guide that shows step-by-step where to click and what to enter, with screenshots, to operate a web app or business system. Used for new-hire training, international staff onboarding, and customer support — covering "how to use the screen," alongside operational manuals that describe the workflow.
Translation agencies typically charge $5,000–$20,000 per language and take 4–8 weeks, requiring re-engagement on every UI change. Stepmate's credit-based pricing starts at $3 per page, with minutes-per-page generation and one-click re-generation when the UI updates. Cost and update cycle are fundamentally different.
Yes. Standard support for 10 languages (English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Korean, and Japanese), with technical terms and button names translated in context. Delivering manuals in their native language drastically shortens onboarding time.
Click the "Export" button at the top right of any generated manual to send it directly to Notion, Google Docs, or Word. In Notion, the page is created under your specified database with headings, images, and step numbers preserved.
Yes — re-generation also consumes 1–3 credits per page (varies by language count). Unlike a translation agency, there's no quote re-negotiation or wait. You can also re-generate per page, only for the parts that changed.
I have heard this — over, and over, and over again.
Each time, I would think: 'A tool that needs a manual to be used is the bad tool.' Half of that, I still believe.
But the other half holds something else. The reassurance of a manual lets people move from day one. It turns uncertainty into expectation — and, eventually, into revenue.
It's a quiet future. An ordinary one. But it's the future I believe in, and I built this product for it.
