Product Update: Checklist SOPs, App Design Update, and new Advanced SOP AI Tool – July 2026

This month brings Checklist SOPs, a full app paint job, AI-generated reasons why for Advanced SOPs, Chrome extension improvements, new performance upgrades, Irish language support, and a first look at the QMS module we’re building next.

Tom walks through all of it in the video below.

Checklist SOPs

Any SOP can now be turned into a Checklist SOP, built for inspections, audits, and any check you run on repeat.

  • Add mandatory pass or fail steps, comments, images, and variable data through several input types
  • On mobile, go to SOP, Track, Audit, add a batch number, serial number, or operator name, then start
  • Build one by opening edit mode on any SOP and selecting Checklist SOP
  • Add checklist points using number, dropdown, checkbox, text, photo, and pass or fail fields
  • Set frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or custom), due reminders, and notification recipients under Advanced Options, Track Task
  • Failure notifications and red and green visual management cards support floor-level tracking
  • All tracked tasks are stored in audit history, accessible through the app and exportable for reporting

We’ve given the App a paint job!

We went through every screen in GembaDocs for a cleaner, more modern look, without changing how anything works or where anything lived.

  • Both the desktop and mobile apps have been updated
  • Every screen has been redesigned for a cleaner, more modern look
  • Existing functionality has not changed, only the interface
  • The SOP menu has been reorganized for simpler navigation
  • Advanced Options has been restructured to make SOP-level functionality clearer

AI-Generated Reasons Why for Advanced SOPs

Explaining the reason behind each step is one of the hardest parts of writing a good SOP. Now GembaDocs does it for you.

  • Add your key points, even basic ones, and AI generates the reasons why
  • The AI uses both the text and images you’ve already uploaded
  • The more detail you provide, the better the generated result!
  • Speeds up creating and maintaining Advanced SOPs

Chome Extension Updates

Two new controls for anyone building video SOPs through our Chrome extension.

  • Remove the voice track from your video SOPs entirely – this suggestion came from one of our GembaDocs Webinar attendees!
  • Regenerate the steps pulled from a video
  • Choose more or fewer steps depending on how much detail your process needs

Performanmce Improvements and Irish Language Support

Behind the scenese, we’ve made a number of engineering improvements, and added a new language along the way!

Coming Soon: QMS Module

We’re building a Quality Management System module that brings your high-level governance documents directly into GembaDocs.

  • Generate documents using a wizard, or bring existing documents into a controlled environment with document control and revision control
  • AI-generated flowcharts, internal audit management, and corrective action tracking
  • Built to support compliance frameworks including ISO 9000 and AS9100
