This AI Startup Just Made Workflow Training 10x Faster—Here's How

### The Problem With Traditional Software Training Let's face it: nobody actually reads those lengthy software manuals or watches those boring, uneditable screen recordings. Companies pour thousands of dollars and countless hours into creating training materials, only to have employees ignore them completely. Instead, they ping a colleague on Slack or submit yet another support ticket. It's a massive waste of time and money. That's exactly the problem Guideless, a Vilnius-based startup, is tackling head-on. The company just announced a $1.18 million pre-Seed funding round (converted from €1 million) to help businesses slash the cost and effort involved in creating and maintaining workflow training materials. ### Who's Backing Guideless? The round was led by Superhero Capital, with participation from FIRSTPICK VC and a roster of notable angel investors. That includes Thomas Plantenga (Group CEO of Vinted), Vytautas Atkočaitis (CEO of Vinted Go), and Mantas Mikuckas, co-founder of Vinted. When industry heavyweights like these put their money behind a startup, it's worth paying attention. Audrius Milukas, Partner at Superhero Capital and lead investor, explained the rationale: "Workflow and training automation is going to be a huge market over the next decade, but most of the current tech isn't forward-thinking enough to get there. We backed Guideless early because they do more than eliminate the grunt work of creating and updating training videos—they're fixing problems companies don't yet realise they have." ### How Guideless Actually Works Evaldas Bieliūnas and Dovydas Remeika soft-launched Guideless in late 2025 and officially incorporated the company in June 2026. The platform is deceptively simple in its approach. Here's the pitch: - The person who already knows a workflow simply performs it while running Guideless. - The AI automatically captures each relevant step using computer-vision detection. - It generates a visual sequence, writes and refines text instructions, and adds highlights and zoom effects. - The system produces a transcript and captions with natural-sounding narration in over 40 languages. - Company branding is applied automatically, and the finished guide is ready to share, embed, or export. According to the company, this approach creates training guides up to 10 times faster and easier than traditional methods. ### The Bigger Vision: An Evolving Memory Layer What makes Guideless particularly intriguing is its long-term vision. The founders aren't just building another documentation tool. They're aiming to create what they call an "evolving memory layer" that preserves institutional knowledge as teams, tools, and processes change. Bieliūnas, who spent over a decade leading commercial teams and onboarding employees across multiple countries at companies like Vinted Go, saw the waste firsthand. "Another standard documentation tool wasn't going to solve this," he said. "We designed Guideless to convert every workflow it captures into structured operational context." This step-level approach means every tutorial is fully editable, making it easy to update, duplicate, translate, and adapt for different audiences. And because the content is structured rather than a fixed recording, it can serve as reliable context for AI agents, helping them understand how a specific company actually operates. ### A Massive Market Opportunity Citing industry reports, Guideless says the untapped market encompassing training, knowledge management, and AI-driven workflow automation is projected to exceed $21.5 billion by 2031. That's a staggering opportunity, and the company believes the current tech landscape is woefully unprepared to capture it. With this fresh funding, Guideless is positioned to lead what Superhero Capital calls "a new wave of workplace training." If they can deliver on their promise of turning every workflow into structured, actionable knowledge, they might just become the default workflow intelligence layer for software-driven organizations everywhere.
