About Scribe
Scribe stops waiting for users to hit record: Autocapture documents work as it happens.
Scribe has spent the summer layering an org-context agent (Optimize) on top of its step-by-step capture product: admin-supplied business context, tag-based context, file uploads and customizable workflows. Library and appearance polish filled the gaps. Autocapture now changes the input side, observing approved business apps and producing ready-to-review Scribes without a manual start or stop.
