Trusted by teams, schools, and organizations around the world
DistilBook converts an SOP into a step-by-step video in about 20 minutes: it reads the procedure, keeps the steps in their exact order, writes a narration for each, and generates an illustrated slide per step with voiceover and subtitles. A 12 step SOP becomes a 3 to 4 minute video, and the numbered steps stay numbered on screen.

Who is this for?
Manufacturing and warehouse operations
Procedures become videos watched at the workstation, in the worker's language, without a training room.
Quality and compliance teams
Controlled SOPs become controlled videos: regenerate from the revised document when the SOP version changes.
Restaurants, clinics and franchises
Opening, closing, hygiene and safety procedures as short videos every new team member watches in their first shift.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn an SOP into a video?
Upload the SOP document to DistilBook. The AI keeps each numbered step as its own slide, writes the spoken instruction for it, and waits for your approval. Then it generates the illustrated, narrated video. Download the MP4 or share the link.
Will the steps stay in the right order?
Yes. Numbered and bulleted steps are preserved in sequence and shown with their numbers on screen. You confirm the order at the review step before anything is generated.
Can I show warnings and safety notes?
Warning and caution text from the SOP is kept on its slide and can be marked to be spoken word for word. Use the brief to ask for a specific warning to be repeated at the end.
Can workers watch it on a phone?
Yes. The share link plays on any phone browser, and the MP4 can be loaded into a mobile LMS. Subtitles are included for noisy environments.
What happens when the SOP changes?
Upload the new version and regenerate. Because the video is produced from the document, updating it takes the same 20 minutes as the original rather than a re-shoot.
