Haiku review: AI-first browser capture, scored 8.38/10

8.38/10
Free tier, paid plans on vendor siteVerify Jul 2026
Verdict
Haiku is the tool to beat when the buying question is 'best AI SOP creator', because the AI actually writes the SOP instead of just captioning screenshots. The free plan carries the full capture and generation loop, so a small team can run it without a demo call. Skip Haiku if your workflows live in native desktop software, because the capture is browser-based.
Per-criterion breakdown

How Haiku scored on each criterion

AI generation quality
9weight 20%

First-draft step titles and body copy came out usable on 11 of 12 test steps, with only one merge fix needed. The summary paragraph read like a human wrote it, not a captions engine. Rewrites happen inline without leaving the doc.

Capture method and speed
9weight 15%

The Chrome extension detects step boundaries automatically as you click through the workflow. Time from starting a capture to a shareable draft was under two minutes on the invoice test. There is no separate render or processing wait.

Editing and formatting
7weight 12%

Reordering, cropping, and annotating are direct-manipulation with a light editor. Brand styling and templated headers are supported but shallower than Scribe or Tango. Bulk operations across long SOPs are a weak spot.

Security and redaction
8weight 12%

Manual and pattern-based redaction covers the common PII cases. Auto-redaction is present but less aggressive than Scribe's on complex admin screens. SSO and role permissions are available on paid plans.

Sharing and export
8weight 10%

Public links, gated links, embeds, PDF, and Notion export are all first-class. The exported PDF preserves layout and screenshot crops. Confluence export is embed-based rather than native.

Integrations
9weight 10%

Notion, Slack, Zendesk, and Google Docs export are native. API access is available for the paid tiers. LMS integrations are limited compared to Trainual and ScreenSteps.

Team collaboration
7weight 8%

Workspaces, roles, and comments cover the basics. Review flows exist but the approval model is lighter than Trainual's. Version history is retained but the diff view is bare.

Pricing and value
9weight 8%

The free plan is the strongest in the category, covering capture, AI generation, and shareable links. Paid tiers scale sensibly with seat count. There is no upsell wall between capture and export on the free tier.

Ease of use
9weight 5%

Time to first published SOP for a first-time user was under five minutes on our test. The UI matches its function: capture, review, share, in that order. No training call needed.

Where Haiku loses
  • No native desktop-app capture

Not for

Desktop-app workflows. Capture is browser-based, so native desktop software cannot be captured directly.
