Autessa Autodocs as an alternative to Tango

Autessa Autodocs is a Tango alternative that turns one recording into a how-to guide and a self-healing workflow that runs in a cloud browser, on a schedule or from an Autobot’s chat, and keeps the guide’s screenshots current on every run.

Where Autessa wins

  • Tango’s Guide Me walks a person through a task. Autodocs can do that task for them, in a cloud browser, while their laptop is closed.
  • Self-healing replay reports every step as passed, healed, failed or skipped, which also makes a recording a no-code website check.
  • Screenshots refresh on every run and the doc notes what changed, so the guide people read matches the site they see.
  • Ask Autobot to add a field, a review step or a new report to Autodocs, down to the code, instead of working around the product.
  • The Autessa MCP lets an agent publish a guide or start a workflow and follow its progress, on top of asking guides for answers.

Switching

Your first guide and workflow, from one recording

Tango organizes its product around Document, Guide and Automate: capture a workflow into a guide, walk people through it live with Guide Me and Pins, and on Enterprise turn guides into browser-extension automations.

  1. 1

    Record your most-asked task

    Press Record a workflow and do it once in the browser inside Autessa.

  2. 2

    Review and publish the guide

    Edit the draft in Markdown, then publish it to your knowledge base.

  3. 3

    Put the workflow to work

    Replay it on demand, on a schedule, or hand it to an Autobot.

When teams choose Autodocs

  • You want tasks to run in the cloud, without anyone’s browser open.
  • You want guides that tell you which steps the site changed.
  • You want docs your agents and chatbots can use on every plan.

FAQ

Autodocs and Tango: questions

Is Autodocs a Tango alternative?

Yes. Autodocs writes how-to guides with highlighted screenshots from a recorded task, and replays that task as a self-healing workflow.

Where do people find Autodocs guides?

Autodocs publishes guides into your knowledge base in Autessa Drive, where search and chatbots find them, and an Autobot can do the task for you from the same recording.

Can I customize Autodocs?

Yes, completely. Ask Autobot to add a field, a review step or a report and it builds it into your copy of the app, or edit the code directly.

Can my AI assistant use Autodocs?

Yes. Through the Autessa MCP, Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent can read and publish docs and start a workflow, then follow its progress.

Is Autessa Autodocs free?

Yes. Autessa Autodocs is free with every Autessa account, for unlimited users. You pay only for AI tasks.

See both outputs on your own task.

Autodocs works from the first recording. Record a task once, compare the guide and the workflow for yourself, and shape the rest in Autessa.
