Daytona Startup Grid — 2026
Public beta · AI guide creation

Record once.
Publish four ways.

Click through your product. GuidesForge turns every recording into a narrated video, step-by-step docs, an interactive tour and a help-center page — automatically.

The problem
Docs decay

Every UI change breaks the docs nobody has time to update.

01

Four formats, four jobs

Video, docs, tours and help center are made separately, by different tools, from the same product walkthrough.

02

Screenshots rot

The product ships weekly; the screenshots were taken last quarter. Users follow steps that no longer exist.

03

Support pays for it

Every outdated guide becomes a ticket. Teams answer the same question in chat, email and calls.

10× faster than manual docs — the pitch is the time saved, not the AI.Page 2
The product
One capture, four outputs

Click through your app. The rest is generated.

OUTPUT 01

Narrated video

MP4 with annotations and AI narration, assembled from the recording.

OUTPUT 02

Step-by-step docs

Structured pages with annotated screenshots for every click.

OUTPUT 03

Interactive tours

Embedded Driver.js walkthroughs that run inside your product.

OUTPUT 04

Help center

Published pages with semantic search, ready to link from support.

Staleness detection

Nightly Playwright checks compare your live UI to the recorded steps and alert you when documentation drifts.

Voice cloning

A 10-second sample narrates every guide in your own voice, in 23+ languages.

Why Daytona
Every recording is a media job

The pipeline is vision, voice and video — it needs a GPU.

Today

Screenshots are described, narration is written, speech is synthesised and video is assembled in one queue. Long recordings wait behind short ones, and a single worker caps how many guides a team can publish at once.

What we want on GPU

  • Vision model describes every screenshot for docs and tours.
  • TTS and voice cloning for narration in 23+ languages.
  • Video assembly and thumbnail rendering.
  • Embeddings for help-center semantic search.

The pipeline
One sandbox per recording

Capture → understand → narrate → render → publish.

01
Capture
Clicks, screenshots and form fills from the extension.
→
02
Understand
Vision describes each step; embeddings index it.
→
03
Narrate
Script plus cloned voice audio in the target language.
→
04
Render
MP4 assembly, annotated screenshots, tour JSON.
→
05
Publish
Video, docs, tour and help-center page go live.

GPU sandbox

Vision, TTS and video models with weights loaded from a snapshot, so a 10-minute recording starts in seconds instead of downloading models per job.

CPU sandbox

Extension ingest, screenshot storage, doc generation and publishing. Bursty per recording, so per-second billing fits.

Nightly Playwright staleness checks run in a separate CPU sandbox.Page 6
The ask
What we need
$10,000
in Daytona credits to run vision, voice and video for every guide on GPU sandboxes.

What we will run

  • GPU sandboxes for screenshot understanding, TTS and video assembly.
  • Voice cloning and 23+ language narration at publish time.
  • Load tests at 10–50 concurrent guides.

What you get back

Latency and cost benchmarks for per-guide media generation, real usage data from production recordings, a written case study and developer content about running documentation AI on Daytona.
