Tango

Tango is a tool that turns live work into written documentation. You start a recording, complete the task as you normally would — in Salesforce, Workday, Epic, or any other web tool — and Tango converts the session into a step-by-step guide with screenshots, highlights, and descriptions. The homepage pitches it at the person on every team who keeps getting asked the same questions.

Beyond capture, the product covers distribution and follow-up. Guides can be shared as a link, exported to PDF, or embedded on a page. Guide Me walks a reader through each click, Pins answer questions in the moment, and voice transcription turns spoken narration into written steps. Data extraction finds and fills in information, Rules catch mistakes before they're saved, and guides can be turned into automations that handle repetitive steps while a person stays in control of the decisions.

The site claims more than 1 million users and displays customer logos including Klaviyo, Salesforce, Gusto, Cox, and Lockheed Martin. One case study features SEARHC, which says it replaced a 60-slide training deck with a Tango guide while onboarding 1,400 employees. Getting started is free according to the site's calls to action; the homepage doesn't list pricing tiers.
