Theme: Monitor and Debug No-Code Automations

r/smallbusiness

SaaS subscription

Build

AI-Powered Automation Mapper & Plain-English Translator

A SaaS tool that connects to a company's automation platforms (Zapier, Make, HubSpot) via API and automatically generates a visual map and plain-English SOPs of what every automation does. It solves the 'black box' problem for non-technical owners without requiring the technical employee to spend hours writing documentation.

Manual SOPs / Word Docs

Our angle

There is a lack of automated, passive documentation tools specifically designed to map out 'invisible' background automations (Zapier/Make) into plain-English SOPs for non-technical owners.
