What is Tango?

Tango is a tool that automatically captures and documents your workflow to create step-by-step guides. Instead of manually writing instructions, you perform tasks in your browser while Tango records your actions, screenshots, and clicks. It then generates formatted guides with images and text that you can share, edit, or publish. This is useful for teams that need to document processes quickly, create training materials, or build knowledge bases without spending time on manual documentation. The free version covers basic guide creation, while paid plans add features like team collaboration, branding options, and integrations.
