Can you just show me how to do that again?

Our training is just... a folder of PDFs.

Your training videos pile up. Nobody rewatches them.

You already have the training material. Upload any video and Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, turns it into a structured written SOP you can assign and track.

I already explained this three times this week.

We lost that process when Sarah left.

How teams do it today

Folders full of training videos nobody rewatches

Ten-minute video just to find a thirty-second step

No way to search a video for the step you need

Training walkthroughs forgotten once the call ends

With Whale's

Video to SOP

Every video becomes a searchable, written SOP

Scan the guide and jump straight to the step you need

Find any step with a keyword search

The walkthrough lives on as written documentation

Works with any video you already have

Upload any video file. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, transcribes the audio and organizes the spoken steps into a numbered, written SOP. The original video stays embedded in the finished card for context.

Keep the video. Get the written guide.

The finished SOP has the video embedded at the top and the written steps below. Your team can watch the full walkthrough when they need context or scan the numbered steps when they need speed. Both live on the same page.

Every video becomes part of the training system

The SOP drops into your Whale knowledge base. Add it to a training flow and assign it to specific team members. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, answers questions pulled from the SOP. CoPilot surfaces the guide inside the tool where the process runs.

How it works

Upload your video

Drag any video file into the Whale editor. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, starts processing the audio and visual content as soon as the upload completes.

Review the draft SOP

Alice hands back a draft SOP with the video embedded and numbered steps below. Edit the wording or rearrange steps before you publish.

Share it with your team

Publish the SOP to your knowledge base and add it to a training flow with a due date. CoPilot can also surface the guide inside the tool where the process runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any standard video file. Screen recordings, meeting captures, webcam videos, phone recordings. Upload in MP4, MOV, WebM, or any standard video format. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, processes the audio to pull out the spoken steps and organizes them into a written SOP.
Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, produces a strong first draft that captures the spoken steps and structure of the video. Clear audio with minimal background noise gives the best results. You can edit every word of the output before publishing, so the final SOP matches your team’s terminology. If the video has heavy background noise or unclear narration, manual cleanup on the draft takes a few minutes.
Yes. The video is embedded at the top of the finished SOP alongside the written steps. Your team can watch the full walkthrough when they need context or scan the numbered steps when they need speed. The video stays in place even if you edit the written copy.
Every field in the generated SOP is editable. You can rewrite step descriptions, reorder them, remove any step that is not needed, or add context that was not in the video. The finished SOP behaves like any other Whale card after that, which means version history tracks every change.
Yes, with care. You can edit the transcript to remove any step with sensitive content before publishing, and the finished card is visible only to people you share it with. For videos that include regulated data like customer records or financial information, the cleanest approach is to record the walkthrough with mock data, so the finished SOP is safe to share with the whole team from the start.
Loom produces a video with a written summary. Video to SOP produces a written SOP that is structured and searchable, with the original video embedded. Your team can scan the numbered steps or watch the full video for context. Video to SOP is one feature inside Whale, the AI-Powered SOP Software that gets your team trained, so the SOP lands in a training flow and CoPilot can surface it where the process runs.
