Development Background
In a survey conducted by our company targeting 600 employees of large corporations, 74.7% of employees involved in manual creation recognized that "there are many tasks dependent on individual expertise in the workplace," and 80.3% responded that "there are manuals whose updates cannot keep up." Furthermore, 76% of the manual creation effort per manual was concentrated in the initial stages of "writing, structuring, and photographing," and this workload was the main cause of delays in manual maintenance and updates.
Flowbase fundamentally lowers the hurdle of manual creation by automating these "writing, structuring, and photographing" processes with AI.
Key Features of Flowbase
1. Automatic Manual Generation from Screen Recording
Simply by recording PC operations, AI automatically detects and divides the operational steps, and automatically generates screenshots and explanatory text for each step. By pressing the record button and performing tasks as usual, an editable manual is completed in just a few minutes.
2. Automatic Optimization of Structure and Text through AI Analysis
AI understands the context of operations and automatically organizes the structure of procedures. It generates manuals with a clear structure and expressions that are easy for readers to understand, rather than just a list of operation logs, minimizing post-creation editing effort.
3. Easy Sharing, Searching, and Updating within Teams
Generated manuals are centrally managed in the cloud, allowing quick access to necessary procedure documents through keyword search and folder management. When business processes change, manuals can be updated to the latest version simply by re-recording, preventing manuals from becoming obsolete.
4. Simple Operability for Anyone to Use Immediately
No special software installation is required; recording can be started from a browser. Regardless of IT literacy, on-site staff can create manuals simply by recording their own work.
Anticipated Use Cases
・Preparation of onboarding manuals for new employees
・Creation of operation manuals for internal systems (ERP, CRM, etc.)
・Documentation of knowledge during department transfers and handovers
・Batch updates of manuals due to business process changes
・Standardization of update procedures for business flows and organizational charts during organizational changes
Representative's Comment
Comment from Rong Lu, Representative Director, LR Co., Ltd.
"I have been involved in building management screens and automating operations in the ad-tech industry. While the areas that can be made efficient with technology have expanded, 'manual creation' has always been the last remaining task. As an engineer, I have repeatedly experienced writing manuals myself while developing, but this task alone has always remained dependent on human effort.
Our survey also shows that 76% of manual creation effort is concentrated in 'writing, structuring, and photographing.' This process is the 'last mile' to eliminate reliance on individual expertise, and unless it is automated by AI, tacit knowledge will continue to remain within the organization.
Flowbase automatically generates manuals when you record your screen. Instead of someone writing it, it's automatically created when you perform the task. By creating this state, we will realize the elimination of reliance on individual expertise as a system."
Expert Comments
Jin Tomioka, CEO, Telexistence Inc.
"In the field of robotics, we realize daily how important the standardization of work procedures is. The results of this survey, showing that 74.7% of employees involved in manual creation recognize reliance on individual expertise, yet 80% cannot keep up with updates, highlight a structural problem faced by many companies. Flowbase's approach of AI automatically generating manuals from screen recordings is a very rational solution to this problem. We have high expectations for LR's technical capabilities and execution."
Ryohei Nomoto, Globis Capital Partners
"In corporate activities, how to accumulate and reuse business knowledge will increasingly become a crucial theme that affects competitiveness. In this context, Flowbase's approach, which transforms the visualization/verbalization of business flows and manual creation from 'additional work' into a 'by-product of daily operations,' goes beyond mere operational efficiency and leads to the rediscovery of intangible assets that were dormant within companies. We have high expectations for LR to lead this market."
Yusuke Ohashi, Representative Director & CEO, SYSLEA Inc.
"Until now, manual creation was 'another job' separate from the main task. After completing a task, one would retake screenshots and write text while recalling the procedures. Due to the heavy workload, it was always put off in every organization, and knowledge continued to be dependent on individuals. Flowbase fundamentally changes this structure. AI remembers the process and automatically generates context-aware manuals simply by performing tasks as usual. In other words, 'working' and 'recording' are completed simultaneously. Our company, Frictio, also aims to fundamentally solve the structural problem of recording and input burden in sales activities with AI, and we strongly empathize with Flowbase's approach of redefining the traditional business process itself."
