AI SOP generator: from paper procedure to digital instruction

Use an AI SOP generator to turn existing procedures, PDFs and recordings into step-by-step digital work instructions. Experts review, operators follow.

In short

An AI SOP generator is software that turns source material, such as a Word SOP, a PDF or a recorded walkthrough, into a structured, step-by-step procedure. Actarion's AI authoring converts your existing SOPs into digital work instructions with images, checks and warnings. Your experts review and approve before anything reaches the shop floor.

How it works on the shop floor

How does the AI SOP generator work?

  1. 1

    Collect sources.

    Upload a Word or PDF SOP, photos of the workstation, or a recording made during real work.

  2. 2

    Generate the draft.

    AI splits the content into steps, adds a title per step and suggests checks, tools and warnings.

  3. 3

    Refine in the studio.

    A trainer adds images, video or 3D content and adjusts the wording. No coding needed.

  4. 4

    Review and approve.

    The process owner approves the version. The approval is recorded.

  5. 5

    Publish.

    The instruction goes to tablets and AR glasses. Updates sync to every device.

Why does writing work instructions take so long?

  • Your engineers write procedures in the evening, after their real work. The backlog keeps growing.
  • Every author uses a different format, so operators get different levels of detail.
  • Existing SOPs are long text documents. Operators need short steps with a picture.
  • Each change means rewriting, reformatting and re-approving the whole document.

What does AI authoring do?

AI authoring reads your source material and proposes a structured instruction. It splits long text into single actions, suggests checks and highlights safety warnings. On the DeepSight platform, AI also proposes a standard sequence when several experts do the same job differently.

The result is a draft, not a final instruction. A trainer refines it in a no-code studio, and a responsible owner approves it. That keeps the expert in control of what operators see.

Paper SOP versus AI-generated instruction

AspectPaper or PDF SOPAI-generated digital instruction
FormatLong text, varies by authorOne action per step, consistent template
VisualsFew, often outdatedImage, video or AR overlay per step
UpdateRewrite and redistributeEdit once, sync to all devices
Proof of executionSignature at the endConfirmation and timestamp per step
Authoring timeHours to days per SOPUp to 85% faster (DeepSight figure)

What does it bring each role?

RoleBenefit
OperatorShort, clear steps with a visual, instead of pages of text
Team leaderInstructions for new tasks are ready sooner
Quality / HSEOne format and one approved version per procedure
HR / L&DTraining content built from the same source as the work instruction

Technical points

  • Input: Word, PDF, images and recordings from the capture app, plus 3D models in common formats such as GLB, FBX, OBJ and STEP.
  • Human in the loop: nothing is published without review and approval.
  • Languages: drafts can be delivered in the languages your teams need. See multilingual.
  • Version control: every change creates a new version with an author and date.

How Actarion helps

  • We select the SOPs with the highest error or training cost for the first batch.
  • We run AI authoring on your documents and review the drafts with your experts.
  • We set up an approval flow that fits your quality system.
  • We train your own authors so you can keep converting procedures after the pilot.
