The problem it solves

Your standard operating procedures live in scattered docs, old emails, or someone's memory, so new hires struggle to find the right steps. When a process changes, updating every copy takes time you don't have, and mistakes creep in when people wing it.

Who it fits

An operations manager or small business owner who needs a single reliable source for company procedures.

How it works

  1. You ask the AI assistant for a procedure in chat
  2. The assistant searches your Notion SOP database for a match
  3. If none exists, it generates a new step-by-step procedure
  4. The assistant saves the procedure back into Notion
  5. You get the finished, up-to-date SOP instantly
What you get

Questions answered with a ready procedure

You get instant answers to procedure questions, with new steps drafted and saved straight into your Notion workspace.

What you get

An up-to-date, easy-to-find standard operating procedure stored in Notion.

What you need

A Notion account and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
