Train your team

Show it once.
Everyone can repeat it.

A live demo helps the people in the room. A guide helps everyone, whenever they need it. Record the demo and keep it as steps people can follow at their own pace.

In short

Chronika is a tool for creating employee training guides from screen recordings. Show a task once and each click becomes a step with its screenshot. Learners repeat it from a link, a step-by-step player or a PDF, and the trainer fixes only the steps that change. Everything stays in one workspace.

01How it works

Record it. Share it. Fix it. Keep it.

You are showing a colleague how to build a pivot table. Press record, talk it through, and the demo and the handout come out of the same run. In the Windows app a 3-2-1 countdown gives you a beat before the first click.

  1. Capture it as you work

    Turn the demo into the training

    Next time you show a colleague how a task goes, record it. Talk as you work. The clicks become the steps and your narration stays lined up with the steps it explains.

    • Record Excel and other Windows programs with the Windows app, web tools with the extension
    • Narration is kept with the steps it describes
    • A 3-2-1 countdown in the Windows app gives you a moment before the first click

  2. Share it where work happens

    Let people follow along while they work

    People learn a task by doing it, with the guide open beside them. Guide Me plays a guide one step at a time, and the step being read is the one that is lit. With the extension it can run right on the live page.

    • Guide Me player for any guide
    • Guide Me on the live site, driven by the extension
    • Public link, PDF or Word for people who prefer to read

  3. Fix the painful parts

    Fix the step where people get lost

    After the first session you know where people stumbled. Open the guide and put a tip on that step, circle the right cell, or crop away the noise. The next learner gets the improved version.

    • Annotate, zoom, crop and blur on each screenshot
    • Tips, notes and alerts sit on the step they belong to
    • Reorder, hide or duplicate steps when the demo order was not the best learning order

  4. Keep the library in order

    Small guides, filed together

    Keep each task short and file related guides in a collection per topic, so a learner has one place to look. Editors keep the topic current and viewers read it.

    • Collections inside a team workspace
    • Editors write, viewers read, admins manage members
    • Your own drafts live in your personal workspace until they are ready
If the order you demoed is not the best order to learn in, ask me to move a step up, or to put a tip on the one where people got lost. I edit the text and the order; I cannot see the screenshots. I need an AI provider, which whoever runs your Chronika sets up.

  • Works for one person with a personal workspace or a whole team

04Questions

Before you start

Do learners need Chronika installed?
Not to read a guide or play it in Guide Me. Guide Me on the live site runs through the browser extension, so a learner who wants that overlay installs it.
Can I add my voice?
Yes. Narrate while you record, and the narration is kept with the steps it describes. If you configure AI, narration can also be transcribed and used in the write-up.
Does it track who has finished a guide?
No. Chronika does not track who has read or completed a guide. It gives people the steps and you decide how to follow up.
