iorad was created for people who know how to do something and need others to be able to do it too, without having to explain it repeatedly. The founders built iorad because the tools available for capturing and sharing process knowledge were either too slow to use, too complex to maintain, or too passive to actually transfer the skill.
A screen recording takes hours to edit. A written guide takes hours to write. Neither one puts the learner in the position of actually practicing the workflow. iorad captures the process in real time and converts it into an interactive tutorial that requires the learner to do, not just read or watch.
People Like Us are experts.
People Like Us share.
People Like Us want to CREATE help docs, solution articles, tutorials…. or whatever you want to call it, but…
People Like Us don’t have the time, money or the tools to do it.
This was the problem that kept me up at night. That’s how iorad was born.
iorad’s mission is to help knowledge workers create…create help for everybody in the organization.
Who iorad was built for
iorad was built for anyone whose job requires other people to know how to use software. That covers a wide range of roles: L&D managers building onboarding programs, customer success managers training clients on a SaaS product, sales enablement managers keeping reps current on CRM workflows, IT administrators documenting internal tools, and subject matter experts who have been asked to train their team on a process they have spent years perfecting. What these people share is the same problem: they know the process, but translating that knowledge into something teachable takes more time than they have. iorad reduces that translation cost to the time it takes to walk through the process once.
The belief iorad was built around
iorad was built around a belief that the people closest to the work are the best people to teach it, and that the tools should get out of their way. A senior CRM user should not need a video production background to turn their expertise into training. A customer success manager should not spend three hours building a tutorial for a workflow that takes four minutes to walk through. iorad exists to close the gap between knowing how to do something and being able to share that knowledge effectively. The tool handles the format. The expert handles the content.
I started my career as an e-learning developer. Way back in the day, I had to learn the system from an “expert”, become an expert myself and then put together a course to teach everyone else. It was time consuming and expensive. Very expensive!
But, it was the only option companies had: hire a dedicated resource like me to copy/paste screenshots all day. So, the person who knew the application the best aka the most valuable person on the team, became the person whose time was wasted the most. A very expensive proposition for a growing company.
What if there was a tool that watched what you did and automagically created step-by-step directions? No developer needed and instant instructions from employee TO employee in almost real time. Really? Well, we’re that tool.
iorad wants to power the knowledge loop of organizations.
Create — >Share — >Learn…making everybody into… People Like Us.
So if you have knowledge that needs to be shared go ahead and create a tutorial with iorad. It’s the fastest tutorial builder on the planet and it’s free. Full stop.
And, in honor of my new ink, show us what you create. We’d love to hear from you and share it with the rest of the iorad community.
