Use Case
Enterprise SOPs
Your best process documentation already exists - in the hands of your most experienced workers. Payana captures an expert doing the job once and turns it into structured, searchable procedure data.
Written SOPs drift from reality: they describe how a task should be done, while the floor evolves its own better way. Capturing the expert directly closes that gap - the procedure is derived from an actual, observed demonstration rather than from memory in a conference room.
Payana annotates every step of the demonstration: the action performed, the objects, tools and equipment involved, and the expert's own narration, transcribed and time-aligned. The output is a clean, ordered record of the real procedure - each step with its duration, its tools, and the expert's spoken guidance.
That structured data seeds standard operating procedures, onboarding and training material, and process analytics. Because everything is indexed - actions, objects, transcripts - your whole procedure library becomes searchable: find every task that uses a given tool, every step where a specific check is performed, every mention of a part.
Recordings, annotations and derived procedures stay on dedicated, private infrastructure - your operational know-how is never pooled with other clients' data or used to train third-party models.
How it works
- 1
Capture the expert
An experienced worker wears a camera and performs the task once, narrating as they go.
- 2
Annotate every step
Actions, objects, tools, and the narration are labeled and time-aligned, second by second.
- 3
Structure the procedure
The recording becomes an ordered step list with durations, tools, and spoken guidance per step.
- 4
Use everywhere
Export the structured procedure for SOP documents, training material, and searchable process analytics.
What you get
- Step-by-step annotated procedure data with durations
- Objects, tools and equipment per step
- Expert narration transcribed and time-aligned
- Searchable across your whole procedure library
- Private, per-client infrastructure
Procedure data exports as structured JSONL and Parquet - ordered steps with timestamps, labels and transcripts - ready to feed document generation, training systems, or analytics.
Frequently asked questions
An expert performs the task once on camera, narrating as they go. Payana annotates every second - the action, the objects and tools, and the transcribed narration - then structures the recording into an ordered step list with durations and guidance per step. That structured record is the seed for the written SOP, training material, and process analytics.
