The alternatives

No

Notion

General-purpose docs many teams bend into an SOP system.

Notion isn't a dedicated SOP tool, but with a bit of template work it's how thousands of teams document processes.

Best for: Teams already using Notion for everything else

Haiku

The AI SOP tool that captures, edits, narrates, and ships in one flow.

Haiku captures any workflow — browser or desktop — writes the SOP with AI, lets you narrate over it, and exports to video, Confluence, or an embed. It's the most complete SOP tool we tested in 2026.
