Scribe (scribehow) is an AI workflow-documentation platform founded in 2019 that automatically turns any process or software walkthrough into a step-by-step guide. Its products — Scribe Capture, the knowledge base, and the newer Scribe Optimize workflow-mapping platform — are used by more than five million people across a large share of the Fortune 500. For developers, Scribe publishes a read-only Search & Retrieval API (OpenAPI 3.1) that searches, lists, and retrieves an organization's Scribe Documents and Knowledge Pages for integration into custom applications and AI agents. Public API access is an Enterprise-plan feature authenticated with a static API key sent in the X-API-Key header. The company is backed by Amplify Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Tiger Global, StepStone, Morado Ventures, and New York Life Ventures, and reached a $1.3B valuation with its 2025 Series C.
