Problem

The frontline problems we solve

01

Writing work instructions is heavy, so it stalls

Drafting, cleaning up and revising all fall on one person, and it never keeps going

02

Even when they're written, text alone doesn't get it across

People can't find what they need, so they end up asking a veteran

* Even at manufacturing sites that use video manuals, 87% still end up asking a senior colleague after watching (Episotech manufacturing survey, June 2026)

03

Teaching and correcting both depend on veterans

Training means standing next to people, and the gap to the best workers can only be learned by watching

What you need: a lighter way to create, and a way to turn
what you create into an asset for the frontline

Approach

How Dive solves it

“Record the work, get the work instructions. Your saved videos lift the whole frontline.”
That idea is what this video work instruction platform for the frontline is built on

1
A young worker filming a veteran's work on a smartphone
STEP 01

Record

AI turns hands-on work and PC tasks into work instructions

2
Video work instructions building up on a shelf
STEP 02

Build up

Every video and step you record adds up, and stays even after a paid plan ends

3
Teaching with work instructions on a tablet
STEP 03

Put to use

Then use the videos you keep to teach, develop, compare and measure

4
A diverse group of young workers climbing steps
STEP 04

Grow

Everyone learns it the same way, whoever trains them,
and the work gets better

“Too heavy to write,” “doesn’t get across,” “depends on veterans” — all solved together with the videos you recordThe more you use it, the more your work instructions and your workplace grow

Create

Just record it, and AI writes the work instructions

Our patented method and generative AI that understands video (VLM) analyze motion, objects and sound.
It finds where each step starts and ends on its own. No narration needed

01

Record your usual work

No need to split the footage or narrate — just record the way you normally work. Screen recordings of PC tasks work too.

02

Leave the rest to the AI

  • Step splittingProcess / step / action
  • Structured contentWhat to do, work tips, quality warnings, important safety information
  • Items usedParts, materials, tools
  • Step titles
  • Subtitles
  • Cutting redundant scenes
  • Annotations
  • Questions

Uses the audio too, if there is any

03

Your format

Keep your usual SOP format

Your current documents stay the master copy, and work for both export and video analysis

01

Export in your usual SOP format

Steps, tips, cautions and images go straight into your registered SOP template (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

Example exported to a company's SOP template

02

Analyze videos based on your existing SOPs

Load your current SOP, and the recorded video is split into steps that keep the same number and order

Diagram of existing SOP steps carried over to video steps

Sites with SOPs build on them. Sites without them record and create.Nothing about the current way of working is thrown out, so the frontline can start without pushback

Ownership

The work instructions you create
stay your company's asset

Designed so the know-how you build up stays even after a paid contract ends

Work instructions stored in a safe

Automatic move to Free

If you don't renew, your team moves to the Free plan and the work instructions stay viewable. Data such as work instructions, video media and usage history is not deleted.

* Accounts beyond the Free limit (3 accounts) are deactivated, not deleted

Playing work instructions kept on the shelf again

Resume any time

You can sign up for a paid plan again. Deactivated accounts come back when you upgrade, with no need to re-invite anyone. Usage history, group affiliation and permissions return as they were.

Level up

Lift the whole frontline with the videos you keep

The videos and work instructions that build up as you create go straight into developing people and improving the work

From the videos and work instructions you keep

The more you use it, the more
your work instructions and your workplace grow

Teach

Bundle work instructions into courses and assign them. You can see who has finished how much.

Course screen
Develop

When someone completes a work instruction on their own, their skill map level goes up. The history is kept.

Skill map screen
Compare

Put the work side by side with a model to see where the gap is. Check that it follows the work instructions, too.

Screen comparing work with a model
Measure

Break work into elements and see time and waste in numbers. Compare before and after improvements.

Work analysis screen

Skill map

A skill map that grows with real work

Skill levels rise automatically when people complete work instructions on their own, and the history is kept

1

Link work instructions to skills

Link work instructions to a skill map that supports ISO 9001 clause 7.2 (Competence). Viewers see at a glance what they should learn next, and go straight to the work instructions they need.

2

Complete it solo, and the level goes up

When someone completes a linked work instruction on their own, their level rises automatically. Finishing a course or earning a qualification works the same way. Just viewing doesn't raise it.

3

See who has learned what, right away

OJT trainers and managers see in real time who has mastered how much.

Skill Map screenSkill details screen

Highlights

  • Levels update automatically on solo completion, course completion and qualifications
  • Skill → recommended work instructions (people go straight to what they should view)
  • See each person's proficiency on a Lv1–Lv4 skill map
  • Get set up fast with industry templates that support ISO 9001 clause 7.2
  • From the Skill Analysis list, change development leads and plan periods in bulk and notify the people involved

ISO 9001

For quality management:
