The picks
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.
Pros
- Only tool in the category that does capture, AI writing, narration, video export, and embed — no stitching required
- AI annotation in plain language beats every competitor's manual editor
- Preview as a doc or a presentation without re-authoring
Cons
- No dedicated LMS quizzing (use Trainual alongside if you need it)
- Category-based knowledge-base hierarchy is lighter than Document360
Best for: Any team that wants capture, editing, narration and sharing in one tool

Buyer's guide
Browser vs. desktop capture
Browser capture is standard; desktop capture is usually a paid upgrade. Confirm what your workflows require before choosing.
Redaction matters
Any tool used for customer support SOPs must automatically redact sensitive data. Test this before rollout.

FAQs
Do screen recording SOP tools need editing?
