Guidemaker

Guidemaker is a free SOP generation tool developed by Tettra. It creates operational guides and standard operating procedures in real time, which means a team can describe a process and receive a structured document instead of facing a blank page. The listing describes it as 100 percent free to use with no restrictions, notes that it is regularly updated, and says it supports Google Chrome. Its purpose is to simplify internal knowledge sharing by making the first draft of a procedure cheap to produce.

The tool does one thing. You pick the kind of document you need, answer the prompts it asks, and it returns text you can edit. There is no workflow engine, no approval chain, and no permissions model behind it, which is why it can be offered free and used without a setup project. The output is a starting document that a team then owns.

- Generate an SOP or operational guide from a short description

- Produce onboarding and training material for new staff

- Document a project process step by step

- Edit the output and share it with a team

- Create a first draft without a template library

- Teams that know how work is done but have never written it down

- Project managers who need process documents quickly

- Companies collecting internal standards in one place

- Operations leads documenting repeatable tasks

A generated SOP is a draft, not a verified procedure, so someone who knows the work has to read it before it becomes official. The tool creates documents; it does not manage, version, or enforce them, so you still need somewhere to store what you produce. Because it is provided free by an upstream vendor, availability and features can change, and the free status is not guaranteed forever. Keep a copy of anything important rather than relying only on the site, and check that the generated steps match what your team actually does.
