Manual to customer guide

Turn A Product Manual Into A Guide Customers Actually Read

Manuals are written to cover everything. Customers want to know how to set it up, use it and fix it. Give Obbo the manual, and it writes a guide in your customers' words while keeping every number exactly as the manual states it.

Why rewrite the manual

The Same Facts, In Words Customers Use

Customers who can't find the answer in a manual call you instead.
Plain words

Rewritten, Not Copied

Each sentence is written fresh in the words a customer uses, whatever the manual's wording. Temperatures, sizes, settings and codes stay exactly as the manual gives them.

Read in full

Nothing Skipped

Obbo reads every page of the manual, spec sheet or price list you give it, from a file or a link.

Named clearly

No Guessing Which Part

Each thing is named so the reader knows exactly which one is meant: the product, a part of it, or the app that goes with it.

What the guide can include

Built Around What Customers Need To Do

Obbo picks the sections your request calls for.
Setup

Step-By-Step Instructions

Setup and care in order, with a photo on each step where one shows it, including photos from the manual itself.

Checklists

Checklists Customers Can Follow

Before-first-use and maintenance checklists, item by item.

Troubleshooting

Answers To Common Problems

A questions section answered from the manual's own instructions.

Specs

The Specs At A Glance

Key values in a clean spec list, or the headline numbers customers look for first.

Cautions

Warnings That Stand Out

Safety notes and tips set apart from the text, so customers don't miss them.

Conflicts

Conflicting Values Flagged For You

When two of your sources give the same thing two ways, the guide uses the most specific one, and a note tells you what the other says.

How it works

From Manual To Guide In Four Steps

You bring the manual. Obbo does the rewriting.
01Step 1

Add the manual

Upload the file or paste a link. Obbo reads it once, in full, and keeps it with your Brand Center for the products it covers.

02Step 2

Ask for the guide

Say what customers need, such as setup and first use, or cleaning and care.

03Step 3

Review the guide

Every fact is cited to your file. Edit by hand or tell Obbo what to change, and show the sources at the bottom if you want them.

04Step 4

Share it

Send customers a link that never changes, download a PDF, or make a version in another language.
