Stop Paying $40K/Year to Document SOPs
Convert manager walkthrough videos into structured compliance documentation in minutes, not weeks.
$pip install sopify && sopify init --location-id Extract SOPs from Walkthrough Videos
Record your shift manager explaining procedures. SOPify transcribes, identifies steps, and drafts formatted SOPs with task sequences and responsible parties.
- Upload MP4/MOV up to 2 hours
- AI extracts step sequences
- Includes responsible role tags
```python
import sopify
sopify.convert_video(
location_id="store_042",
video_path="./am-shift-walkthrough.mp4",
template="franchise-sop-v2"
)
# Returns: SOP document with step-by-step tasks
```Keep SOPs Current Without 80-Hour Audits
Before SOPify, operators spent 80+ hours annually updating manuals. Now trigger rebuilds from new videos when procedures change—compliance stays current automatically.
- Compare current vs. new video diff
- Flag changed steps automatically
- Auto-bump version numbers
```bash
sopify sync --location store_042 --video ./updated-walkthrough.mp4
# Synced 12 changed steps in SOP-07 (Opening Procedures)
```Standardize Across Locations in One Command
Multi-unit operators push updated SOPs to 50 locations simultaneously. Each store manager gets a notification with a diff showing exactly what changed in their procedures.
- Bulk push to location groups
- Per-store change notifications
- Manager acknowledgment tracking
```python
sopify.deploy(
sop_id="SOP-07-v3",
locations=["store_001", "store_042", "store_117"],
notify_managers=True
)
# Deployed to 3 locations. Acknowledgment rate: 0%
```Common Questions
How accurate are AI-generated SOPs?
SOPify drafts achieve 85-90% accuracy on first pass for standard franchise procedures (opening/closing, food safety, equipment operation). Each draft requires a 5-10 minute manager review before publishing. For high-compliance tasks like food handling, we recommend human sign-off—our output is designed to accelerate human review, not replace it.
Do franchisors accept AI-drafted SOPs?
Most franchisors require signed acknowledgment that SOPs match brand standards—this workflow works identically whether SOPs were written by consultants or generated via AI. The key differentiator is that SOPify produces version-controlled, diff-able documents that prove compliance was reviewed. We recommend confirming with your specific franchisor, but AI-drafted SOPs with manager sign-off meet the same documentation requirements as traditional approaches.
What video formats are supported?
SOPify processes MP4, MOV, and WebM files up to 2 hours in length. The AI transcription works best with clear audio—phone recordings of manager walkthroughs work fine if the speaker is audible. For best results, we recommend a stationary camera showing the manager performing each task sequentially rather than continuous narration while moving.
How does multi-location deployment work?
After generating or updating an SOP, you can push it to any combination of your registered locations. Each store manager receives a notification with a visual diff showing exactly what changed from their current SOP version. SOPify tracks acknowledgment timestamps so you have an audit trail proving each location reviewed and accepted the updated procedure.
What liability concerns should I consider?
Like any SOP system, AI-generated documentation creates liability only if you claim compliance you don't actually maintain. The practical risk is identical to using consultant-drafted SOPs: you need manager sign-off confirming procedures match actual operations. SOPify includes a required acknowledgment workflow for exactly this reason. For food-service operations, we recommend spot-checking AI-generated steps against actual observed practice during the first 30 days.
