What is Clypp?
Clypp is software for video-based process documentation. A process is recorded once, and AI turns that recording into a video guide, a step-by-step instruction with screenshots, a training with quiz questions or a BPMN process model.
Who operates Clypp?
Zesavi GmbH, Fellhornstraße 4, 87477 Sulzberg, Germany. Managing directors are Maximilian Zeyda and Edwin Sauer; the company is registered at Amtsgericht Kempten under HRB 15216.
What problem does Clypp solve?
Text-heavy work instructions take a long time to write, age quickly and are rarely used at the workplace. Clypp turns the process itself into the documentation, so knowledge is captured by the people who do the work instead of being written up afterwards.
What is a Clypp?
A Clypp is a single piece of content in the platform: a recorded process with its generated narration, subtitles, steps and translations. Clypps can be grouped into playlists, pages, tours and trainings.
Is Clypp an AI product?
AI does the production work: trimming, audio cleanup, narration of the steps, subtitles, screenshots, quiz questions, BPMN drafts and translation. The source material is a real recording of a real process, not generated footage.
Who is Clypp for?
For production and industry. The documented use cases cover work instructions on the shop floor, onboarding, training, knowledge retention at handovers and support self-service.
Which departments use it?
Production and shop floor, quality and process management, training and HR, IT and support, and technical documentation.
Who typically introduces Clypp?
In the published case studies the initiative came from global process engineering at Rosenberger, from knowledge management and technical writing at Elementar, and from SAP project management at Rational AG.
What company sizes use Clypp?
The publicly documented deployments range from around 200 employees at Elementar to more than 2,500 at Rational AG. Clypp states more than 100 industrial companies and more than 20,000 teams in total.
Is Clypp suitable for small teams?
A free Basic plan covers up to 5 users and 25 Clypps of up to 5 minutes, so a single team can start without a contract. The Enterprise plan is the one built for organisation-wide rollout.
Is Clypp only for manufacturing?
Manufacturing is the focus, but the same documentation applies to software processes and administrative workflows. Screen recording and the Chrome extension exist specifically for software workflows such as ERP tasks.
Does it work for employees without a desk or computer?
Content is opened by scanning a QR code, trainings can be completed on a mobile device, and employees can record and upload content directly from the shop floor.
How do I create a work instruction with Clypp?
Record the process with a camera or as a screen recording, or upload an existing document. AI then trims the recording, improves the audio, narrates the steps and produces the instruction, which you review and adjust.
Do I need video editing skills?
No. Trimming, audio cleanup, narration and subtitles are generated automatically. At Rational AG employees produced their own content within the first two weeks without training and without video editors.
How long does it take to create one document?
Clypp states an average of about 15 minutes per piece of documentation. Rosenberger reports more than 500 tutorials created in the first six months.
Can I use documents we already have?
Yes. PowerPoint files, PDFs and legacy documents can be uploaded, and AI describes the steps and can add an AI avatar.
Can I record a machine or an assembly step with a phone?
Yes. Shop floor processes are recorded with a smartphone or camera; software workflows are recorded from the screen.
Does Clypp write the text?
Yes. AI narrates the steps, writes step titles and instructions, and adds subtitles. You edit the result rather than starting from a blank page.
Can we enforce our own terminology?
Yes. A terminology glossary keeps company-specific wording consistent across content and translations.
Can I control how detailed the instruction is?
Yes. Step length, level of detail and terminology can be adjusted when the step-by-step guide is generated.
Which formats can Clypp generate from one recording?
A video guide, a step-by-step SOP with screenshots, a training with quiz questions, and a BPMN process model draft.
How does the step-by-step SOP work?
Clypp takes a screenshot per step and generates a clear step title and instruction from the video. Length, detail and terminology are adjustable, and the result can be translated in one click.
Can Clypp generate quiz questions?
Yes. Questions are generated with one click, can be edited or regenerated, and translated into more than 100 languages.
Can Clypp produce process models?
Clypp generates a BPMN draft from a recorded process, which you then review and refine.
Are the SOPs suitable for audits?
Clypp describes its SOPs as audit-ready and the work instruction format as ISO-compliant. Whether a specific document satisfies a specific standard remains the responsibility of the company using it.
Can we issue certificates?
Yes. Trainings can be made mandatory, completions and progress are tracked, and certificates can be issued.
How many languages does Clypp support?
Content can be translated into more than 100 languages, including AI voice-over and subtitles. The website and interface are available in English and German.
Does the translation include spoken audio?
Yes. Translation produces voice-over in the target language, which is what allows training across sites in languages no local trainer covers.
How accurate is the AI voice-over?
At Rational AG, bilingual employees tested the AI voice-over extensively and confirmed an accuracy of 99 percent for the Chinese content.
How much faster is an international rollout?
Clypp states a threefold faster international rollout for SOPs, because one SOP is translated instead of being rewritten per language.
How do employees get to the content?
Through the Clypp platform with keyword, tag and term search, via a link or QR code, embedded in an existing system, on mobile devices, or through the Chrome extension.
Does Clypp integrate with SAP, ERP or MES?
Yes. Clypp names SAP, Microsoft and Jira as integrations and supports sharing into ERP, MES, LMS, intranet and wiki. Custom integrations are part of the Enterprise plan.
What does the Chrome extension do?
It provides interactive click-through guides inside the web application you are working in, plus context-based content recommendations.
Can we embed Clypp content in our intranet or LMS?
Yes. Content can be embedded in existing systems such as intranet, wiki or LMS, or shared as a link.
Can we share content with customers or partners?
Yes. Access can be internal or public, so documentation can be shared externally with partners and customers as well as inside the workspace.
Who controls what gets published?
Content can be routed to responsible owners for approval, approved or rejected with feedback, and permissions are managed through roles and teams.
Is there a search function?
Yes. The platform is a company-wide library searchable by keyword, tag or technical term, with content organised into playlists and trainings.
Can we see who completed a training?
Yes. Trainings can be assigned as mandatory, and completions and progress are tracked per employee.
Can we see qualification gaps?
Clypp provides a live qualification overview showing completed, in-progress, overdue and unassigned trainings, filterable by department, team, site or function.
Does that help with shift staffing?
That is the stated purpose of the qualification overview: when someone is absent, a qualified replacement can be filtered out in seconds instead of being looked up in spreadsheets.
What effect on completion rates does Clypp report?
Clypp states an 80 percent higher completion rate and better compliance through mandatory assignment, progress tracking and certificates.
Where is the data stored?
Clypp states EU hosting. The data processing agreement names Telekom Deutschland GmbH in Bonn for storing content and company data until the end of the contract, and Microsoft Ireland and Google Ireland for hosting the web application and processing videos, text, audio, images, keywords and translations.
Which sub-processors are involved?
The published DPA lists Microsoft Ireland Operations, Telekom Deutschland, Google Ireland, Intercom for support chat and newsletters, and Mixpanel for product analytics. Customers are informed at least four weeks before a sub-processor changes and can object.
Is there a data processing agreement?
Yes. Clypp publishes a DPA under GDPR in which Zesavi acts as processor and the customer as controller.
Is Clypp certified to ISO 27001?
Clypp states an information security management system aligned with ISO 27001 standards. The published security policy describes alignment, not a certificate, so ask for current evidence if certification is a procurement requirement.
Is the data encrypted?
Clypp states that all communication to and within the software is encrypted with SSL. The DPA additionally lists two-factor authentication, encryption of storage media, central permission management and penetration tests.
Is single sign-on available?
Yes, as part of the Enterprise plan, together with advanced user management.
What happens to our data at the end of the contract?
Under the DPA the processor returns or deletes the data on instruction and documents the deletion, subject to statutory retention obligations. Data from a free account is deleted after the account is deleted or the trial expires.
Who can see the content inside the company?
Every employee or predefined group gets a personalised account, so content is attributable to a person and only authorised, authenticated users reach sensitive processes.
What does Clypp cost?
The Basic plan is free of charge permanently. Enterprise is priced individually. The pricing page is the authoritative source.
What is included in the free plan?
25 Clypps of up to 5 minutes, up to 5 users, groups for teams and 1,000 AI credits per year, with uploads up to 100 MB per video and 20 GB of storage.
Is there a trial?
Yes, 14 days with 25 items, up to 5 users and 5,000 AI credits.
What do the Enterprise limits look like?
Unlimited recording length, 5 GB upload per video, unlimited storage, custom storage and domain, SSO, trainings and certificates, a dedicated success manager and AI credits on request.
What are AI credits?
AI credits are the budget for AI-generated work in the platform. The free plan includes 1,000 per year, the trial 5,000, and Enterprise volumes are agreed on request.
What results do customers report?
Rational AG: sevenfold faster process documentation and productive use within 14 days. Elementar: 78 percent faster creation of training content and fourfold faster documentation. Rosenberger: an average of 15 minutes per training and more than 500 tutorials in six months.

Do employees need training to use Clypp?
The published case studies report that employees created content on their own without prior training, which is the basis for the reported speed of the rollouts.
