Just heard that “Scribe Optimize” (a third party AI company) is going to be implemented across a few teams. Being sold as a way to optimize how long it takes to do tasks by tracking each employee on how long it takes them to do something and if they’re faster, then to teach others how they did it faster.
Soooo definitely just a new way to track employees and lay more folks off.
CEO Jennifer Smith — a former Greylock and Mckinsey consultant — and CTO Aaron Podolny cofounded the company, which now has two major products.
Scribe Capture records how expert employees conduct workflows via a browser extension or desktop app, and then it generates shareable documentation. This includes screenshots and written instructions to help standardize processes and "institutional know-how" like onboarding, customer support, and training,
Smith said.
Its latest product is Scribe Optimize, which analyzes workflows within a company to show leaders areas of improvement and ways to adopt Al. It also draws on a database of 10 million workflows across 40,000 software applications that Scribe has already documented to suggest areas for automation.
