Hey — it’s Rames

I’m not against AI. Far from it. It’s a brilliant toolset, especially when you’re a solo entrepreneur juggling everything like me. I rely on AI a lot, especially for writing assistance—it’s like having an extra pair of hands. So, no, I’m not being ungrateful.

Magically create video documentation with AI ✨ 

We’ve all been there: you’re deep in your work and the same colleague interrupts you with “sorry, can you show me how to do that thing again?”

To avoid those distractions you need a how-to guide that explains things visually  — which means you need guidde. It's a GPT-powered extension that turns screen recordings into engaging video explainers, up to 11x faster than making a video from scratch.

Using guidde feels like AI magic:

• Record your screen and guidde automatically generates text for each step

• Instantly create a voiceover in almost any language or voice

How do I update this spreadsheet, fill out that invoice, share that report, make that cool chart? With guidde, there’s a clear, easy answer.
