Why did we build Castofly?
💡 As product people, we experienced firsthand the power of concise and up-to-date documentation to pass know-how on any products we worked on. This internally boosts productivity within the team and externally leads to happy customers and less churn.

👫 But let’s face it: people learn in different ways! Some by reading, some by interacting with the widget, and others simply by watching a video!

🕒 Creating training materials for each group requires different software & skillsets and it’s a labor-intensive task. Even worse, nowadays processes and products are rapidly changing which mandates frequent updates to the training materials.

Castofly was born to address this challenge.
💙 With Castofly you can create instant step-by-step instructions for sharing with your customers and team.
🪄 Castofly automatically creates highlights and call-outs for your workflows.
🕒 You can make guides directly from your browser and share them in seconds - our average creation time is 2 minutes or less.
