InteractiveDox vs Loom
InteractiveDox turns one recording into a searchable step by step page, a narrated video and a training course with a graded exam, all published to a versioned portal on your own domain. It re-runs the workflow against your live product on a schedule, and a single scene can be regenerated when a screen moves. Loom makes a clip.

one platform
A full circle ships it, a half circle ships part of it, a dash does not. Italics say what the other tool leaves you doing.
One recording becomes a page people can search, a video they can watch, and a course they can pass, and all three stay current.
What InteractiveDox does with it.
The page and the video, from one take
The same capture produces a written guide with numbered steps, screenshots and copyable commands alongside the narrated video, published to a versioned portal on your own domain. Someone in a hurry skims the page, and someone who wants to watch, watches.
Fix one scene, not the whole video
The video gets composed from structured steps rather than one continuous take, so when a screen changes the affected scene gets regenerated and re-voiced, including across every per language audio version, while everything else stays exactly as it was.
Your docs run like a test suite
Each documented workflow re-runs against the live product on a schedule. A failing check names the exact step, with a screenshot of what the run found instead, including drift no code diff shows such as a permission change or a payment screen you do not own.
One recording, three surfaces
The same capture ships a how to guide, a narrated and branded walkthrough video with an MP4 you render in your own browser and per language audio, and a training course with lessons and a graded exam pushed to your LMS as SCORM.
Secrets never leave the device
Capture masks passwords and tokens on the device before upload, only runs on a workspace approved list of sites, and drops steps recorded on an off list page such as an SSO or payment redirect.
It is a documentation platform
Versions, locales, search analytics, reader feedback, A/B experiments, an API reference from your OpenAPI spec, anonymous cited reader Q&A with no per question bill, approvals with signatures, and a tamper evident audit chain. The video is one output of it.
Sitting on a pile of Looms?
You keep everything you have. The point is that the next hundred recordings become pages people can find, in a place that keeps checking them.
Pick the ten that get re-sent most
The Looms people keep forwarding are your real documentation. Those are the workflows worth capturing properly first.
Record them once, publish them three ways
Each capture becomes a searchable guide, a narrated branded video and a training course, published to a versioned portal on your own domain with the video embedded on the page.
Put them on a schedule
Turn on scheduled verification. The next time a release moves a screen you get a report naming the step, and only that scene needs regenerating.
Questions, answered
For recordings that have become documentation by accident, yes: onboarding, how to, training and support content that customers rely on and that has to still be true after your next release. For sending a colleague a two minute message, Loom does that job and this is more product than you need.
Watch your help docs update themselves this week.
Bring the one workflow customers always get stuck on. Leave with the article, the video, the course, and a check that tells you the day any of them stops being true.
- One real workflow from your product, captured in minutes
- The help article, walkthrough video, and training course, generated for you
- A scheduled check that re-runs it against your live product
- A drafted update the moment a release changes the flow
