About Create with AI modes

Choose between Video SOP, OPL, Form and Combine Docs, and get the best results from AI generation.

Written by Angad Singh

From Lean Creator → Create with AI, you can build documents from a prompt, a video, images or your existing files, then edit them before saving.

The Create with AI button is on the All Templates page, next to Create Template.

Which mode should I use?

Mode

Give it

You get

Video SOP

A video of the task. Narrating while you record improves the result.

A full SOP: purpose, scope, PPE, tools and materials, warnings, and numbered steps with a picture for each step

OPL

Images, such as before and after photos. Say in your prompt which image is which.

A one-point lesson with acknowledgement questions

Form

A description (for example "5S audit for our fab shop") or an existing form or procedure file

An audit, checklist, inspection, LPA or Gemba walk, ready to add rules to

Combine Docs

Several SOPs or manuals

One combined, condensed procedure

Tips for good results

  • Upload PDFs or images. Excel files with several sheets and some Word or PowerPoint files don't convert well, so save them as PDF first.

  • Don't paste long text. Attach it as a PDF instead, because long pasted text can time out.

  • Start a new AI session for each new document.

  • Give context. Tell the AI what the part or process is, for example "this is a rear window hinge". You can keep chatting to refine the result, for example "add a torque warning to step 6".

  • Choose the language in your prompt, for example "build this SOP in Spanish".

Note: Each run uses one input type. You can't combine a video and documents in a single run.

If something goes wrong

  • If generation stops with an error, go back and try again.

  • If generation times out, shorten your prompt, attach a smaller file, or start a new session.

What happens next

Everything the AI creates starts as an AI draft that only you can see.

AI drafts are listed in the AI Drafts row at the top of the All Templates page, with the number of questions, the type and how long ago they were made.

Review it, edit it and save it. See About AI drafts, drafts and published templates.
