Scribe launches Autocapture for hands-free workflow capture
Scribe launched Autocapture, which watches work across approved apps without start or stop commands and drafts editable guides, and feeds company process context to AI agents via MCP and its API.
A McKinsey consultant used to stand behind employees with a stopwatch and write down what they did. Her software is now used at 94% of the Fortune 500. The company is Scribe, founded in San Francisco in 2019 by Jennifer Smith and Aaron Podolny. Smith is the CEO and Podolny is the CTO. She started Scribe after years of documenting other people's work by hand. Scribe's first product, Capture, does that automatically. A browser extension or desktop app records what you click, then writes a step-by-step guide with screenshots. In November 2025, it added Optimize, which maps workflows across a company to show where automation will pay off. On October 6, Scribe launched Autocapture. Nobody presses start or stop. It watches work across approved apps and drafts guides that each person can review, publish, or delete. Scribe's pitch is that AI knows everything except how your company runs. The judgment calls and workarounds live in people's heads. Scribe feeds that context to AI agents through MCP and its API, and says agents perform 71% better with it. That figure comes from Scribe's own benchmark report. It now says more than 7 million people use it. At its Series C, Scribe said 94% of the Fortune 500 used it and about 45% were paying customers. It had around 120 employees and said it hadn't spent its Series B. In November 2025, it raised a $75 million Series C led by StepStone at a $1.3 billion valuation, with Amplify Partners, Redpoint, Tiger Global, Morado Ventures, and New York Life Ventures joining. Total funding is $130 million. Smith said revenue more than doubled that year and the valuation was up fivefold from the last round. Scribe hasn't disclosed revenue. Smith's pitch to enterprises is short, "AI can't improve what it can't see."
