Turn Loom Videos into SOPs

Record tasks with Loom, use ChatGPT to convert transcripts into detailed SOPs, and delegate efficiently.

Turn Loom Videos into SOPs

Insight from Rameel Sheikh

Have a time-consuming task you want to delegate this week? 

Steal my workflow that I’ve been using (and tweaking) since I first discovered ChatGPT 👇

Before you start the task, fire up Loom and record yourself working through the task as you normally would, narrating what you’re doing as you do it

(Don't worry about being perfect— this is about saving time, so natural is better). 

When you’re done recording, grab the transcript from the Loom video.

Paste it into ChatGPT along with the following prompt:

 "Generate a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) from the Loom transcript by summarizing the purpose, scope, and intended users. Outline key roles and responsibilities and list any necessary tools or materials. Break down the process into numbered, easy-to-follow steps, including sub-steps or bullet points for clarity. Incorporate expected outcomes so users know they've completed each step correctly, and address any troubleshooting tips or FAQs based on the video. Conclude with an approval and revision history section for future updates. Use clear, direct language and industry-standard terms for readability."

Boom. In the time it took you to complete the task as you normally would, you’ve got both a video walkthrough and a detailed text SOP.

From here, all we have to do is build out a recurring task in your project management tool of choice (Asana, Notion, whatever you want), attach the video and the SOP, assign a team member, and it’s off your plate forever .
