What is a haiku?

A haiku is a step-by-step guide created from a recorded workflow. You capture the steps once. Haiku turns them into a polished, shareable guide automatically.

The word works two ways. Haiku is the product. A haiku (lowercase) is what you make with it.


How it works

You install the Haiku browser extension. When you're ready to document a workflow, you click Start capture and navigate through the process as normal. Haiku records your clicks and builds the guide as you go. When you stop recording, the steps are ready.

No writing. No screenshots. No formatting. 3 clicks to capture. 2 minutes to publish. 1 link to share.


What a haiku contains

Each haiku is made up of steps.

Steps are generated automatically. You can add descriptions, edit, reorder, annotate, or blur sensitive content before sharing.


How haikus are shared

Every haiku gets a shareable link. You can also export as PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Markdown, HTML, or SCORM.
