Write Simple How-To Procedures for Your Business
Writing down a process frees you from explaining it again. AI turns spoken steps into a checklist.
Step by step
- Choose one process.
- Talk through the steps.
- Ask for a checklist.
- Test it with someone new.
- Store it where staff can find it.
What to expect
Expect numbered steps, a short list of materials and a note for when something goes wrong, written so a new person can follow it on day one.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not write a manual nobody reads. Keep each procedure to a page. Avoid skipping the why, because staff follow steps better when they know the reason.
A good next step
Ask a new or part-time worker to try a procedure and mark anything unclear.
A prompt you can copy
Type this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
Turn these spoken notes into a clear numbered procedure for opening the shop each morning: [notes].
Good to know. Keep each procedure to one page.
