For ops and IT

One person knows how.
Write it down while they do it.

The person who knows how is on leave, and a new hire is stuck waiting.

The task isn’t hard. It just lives in one head.

Join the waitlist See a sample guide

Asterly is early. Public access is a waitlist.

Message from a new hire

“How do I request access to the finance tool? Sam’s out till Monday.”

When one head holds the how-to

The access request, the month-end export and the shared-drive setup all live in one person’s head.
The wiki page has screenshots from a tool version you stopped using.
The honest cost: That person is your unofficial help desk, and the task stops when they’re out.

What Asterly does about it

Record it the next time it’s done.

Next time someone does the task in Chrome, record it. AI drafts the steps with screenshots. Edit them, then link the guide from the onboarding checklist.

When a tool changes, edit the step that changed or record the flow again. Shared guides open for anyone with the link, so keep passwords and private details out of the recording.

From one head to the checklist

Do the task once in Chrome while Asterly records
Fix the wording and highlight the right setting
Drop the link in the new-hire checklist

Real screens, sample workspace

What the next person would use.

It starts with the recorder, running while the task gets done. Real Asterly screens; Fernwood Invoicing is made up for the demo.

Link previews
Paste a guide link in a team message and it shows up as a card with the title and a screenshot.

What you’d record

A guide for the next new hire.

For your team, the person who knows would record something like this while they do it:

An example, written out. Not recorded, so no screenshots

“Request access to a new tool”

Open the IT portal
Choose Request access
Pick the tool and your role
Submit it for approval

We haven’t recorded that one. Here’s a guide we did make with Asterly, for a pretend invoicing app: four steps, each with its screenshot and the click marked.
