Every day, people across organizations explain features to customers, teach colleagues new processes, or walk teammates through complex workflows. Everyone understands the value of capturing these explanations—it is just that writing them down is tedious enough to prevent it from happening.
We built DocsHound to solve this, but quickly learned something important: making the process 75% easier was not enough. The solution needed to be essentially automatic.
DocsHound’s Chrome extension turns product demonstrations into organized knowledge. Click record, walk through your process, and get complete, structured guidance—automatically.
Help your customers
Demonstrate a process as you would to a colleague. The interface interactions become structured documentation, the key moments captured and annotated, preserving their original context and meaning.
The extension captures workflows with precision:
- Automatic screenshot capture at critical interaction points
- Annotation without manual markup
- Optional voice narration for additional context
- Real-time preview of document generation
What you may find most interesting is the processes it removes: no cropping screenshots, no drawing highlight boxes, no switching between applications to assemble comprehensive documentation.
Help your colleagues
Information travels efficiently through organizations. It flows through meetings, presentations, and informal conversations. Yet this knowledge rarely becomes codified in accessible documentation.
The reason is straightforward: documentation creation historically sits outside normal workflows. It becomes an additional task rather than an integrated process.
We built the extension to address the needs of creating process manuals that stretch beyond a single interface – typical of internal procedures.
When you open the extension, there are options for tab, window, or full screen.
Organizations use it to document internal processes that span multiple applications—from CRM to email to proprietary tools. Marketing teams capture product walkthroughs that convert to multiple content formats simultaneously. Product teams document new features before they launch, ensuring support readiness.
The extension eliminates this separation. The act of demonstrating—something people do naturally—becomes the act of documenting. No additional steps required.
Help AI assistants
As obvious as it is, it is worth stating that AI needs accurate information to work.
Even if it was trained on your data – whether by a frontier model scouring the web or by an independent initiative at a given organization, it’s only as accurate as the last training date.
With DocsHound, each demonstration becomes a structured knowledge asset that trains AI agents automatically. This means:
- Your DocsHound assistant’s context is updated on every publish
- Documentation and chatbot remain perfectly synchronized
For those who wish to use DocsHound as a playground for training your AI assistants, we offer export to markdown and to plaintext.
The extension works with web applications by accessing the Document Object Model (DOM) directly. This means it recognizes the specific elements you interact with rather than just capturing video frames.
For workflows that involve multiple applications or environments, the extension maintains context throughout. The documentation accurately reflects how these different systems work together.
Using the Extension
- Install from the Chrome Web Store
- Click the DocsHound icon when ready to record
- Select recording scope (tab, window, or full screen)
- Demonstrate the process naturally
- Watch as your demonstration transforms into structured documentation
You do not need to be logged into DocsHound—the extension functions independently. Multiple demonstrations can be processed simultaneously, each generating its own documentation asset.
By making documentation creation as straightforward as demonstrating a feature, the extension addresses this problem directly. When a feature changes, record the updated process. The system updates affected sections while preserving the rest.
