Shadow Recording — documentation writes itself while you work

The hardest part of “good documentation” is rarely reading it.

The hardest part is writing it — consistently, clearly, and fast enough to keep up with real work.

Teams usually know what should be documented, but it doesn’t happen because:

  • it takes time to stop, structure steps, and write a clean SOP,
  • the person who knows the workflow is busy,
  • and by the time someone documents it, the UI has already changed.

Shadow Recording in Maverto flips that.

You simply do the workflow once — and Maverto captures your actions in the background. Then an internal AI model analyzes what happened and turns it into a structured, step-by-step SOP draft automatically.

Why this matters

You don’t need to “sit down and write documentation.”

You just work — and documentation appears as a byproduct.

When to use Shadow Recording

Use it when you want to capture real processes quickly:

  • onboarding a teammate (“watch me do it once” → SOP is ready)
  • documenting recurring workflows (refunds, payments, escalations)
  • capturing exception handling and edge cases
  • converting tribal knowledge into a repeatable process

Privacy by design

Shadow Recording is processed by a local AI model.

Your data does not leave your environment — no external services, no third-party processing.

The result: less effort, faster documentation, and knowledge that stays accurate because it’s captured from real actions — not memory.
