AI SOP Generator

Turn messy notes into a clear, numbered SOP in seconds

Upload a protocol, a set of instructions, or your own notes and Scholarly rewrites them as a clean, step-by-step procedure anyone can follow — built entirely from your own material.

SOP · Gram Staining
  1. 1

    Prepare and fix the smear

    Spread a thin sample on a clean slide, air-dry it, then heat-fix it over a flame.

  2. 2

    Apply crystal violet

    Flood the slide with crystal violet for one minute, then rinse gently with water.

  3. 3

    Add iodine, then decolorize

    Fix the stain with iodine for one minute, rinse, then wash briefly with alcohol.

How it works

From source to SOP in three steps

No reformatting, no renumbering by hand. Add your material and the AI writes the procedure.

Updated August 2026

Upload a protocol, process notes, or existing docs — PDFs, Word files, slides, a link, or just a typed task — and Scholarly writes a numbered, imperative-step SOP as a typeset PDF you can download, print, or share by link. The Free plan includes one lifetime file upload (8 MB, first 32 PDF pages) and one lifetime AI creation shared across Scholarly; paid plans lift those limits. Teams plans — Premium for Teams at $35 per seat/month or Laureate for Teams at $110 per seat/month — give every seat the same access with shared libraries and one central bill.

  1. 01

    Add your sources

    Upload PDFs, slides, or docs, pick a file from your library, paste a link, or just type a task.

  2. 02

    The agent turns it into steps

    Scholarly reads your material, pulls out every action, and rewrites it as ordered, imperative steps anyone can follow.

  3. 03

    Follow, download, or share

    Get a clean SOP PDF you can read alongside chat, download to print, or turn into flashcards and a quiz.

What you get

A procedure anyone on your team can follow

Grounded in your sources, written as clear, actionable steps — not a wall of prose to decode.

Numbered, actionable steps

Every instruction becomes a short, imperative step in the right order, so there's no guessing what to do next.

Built from your material

The SOP comes from the files and notes you add — not the open internet — so it matches your exact protocol.

Consistent, repeatable format

Scattered instructions become one clean, standardized procedure, so the same task is done the same way every time.

Polished, themed PDF

Every SOP is professionally typeset. Pick from four themes — Professional, Academic, Modern, or Playful — then download, print, or share it by link.

More study tools, one source

Turn the same material into flashcards, a quiz, a study guide, or a podcast without re-uploading.

Any procedure

Lab procedures, clinical protocols, how-to processes, onboarding steps — anything with a repeatable set of steps.

Why it helps

A procedure is only useful if it's easy to follow

When instructions are buried in dense paragraphs, steps get skipped and mistakes creep in. A numbered SOP pulls each action out and puts it in order, so there's nothing left to interpret.

Scholarly's SOP is an AI agent: it reads your actual sources, identifies each action that has to happen, and rewrites them as clear imperative steps — not a summary you still have to translate into a workflow.

Because it's grounded in your own material, the SOP matches your real protocol, not a generic template. Pair it with flashcards or a quiz and you move from reading the steps to knowing them by heart.

FAQ

Common questions

What can I make an SOP from?

Uploaded PDFs, Word docs, and PowerPoints; files already in your library; Google Drive files; a website or PDF link; or just a typed prompt. You can mix several sources in one SOP.

What kinds of procedures does it work for?

Anything with a repeatable set of steps — lab procedures, clinical protocols, how-to processes, onboarding checklists, and more. If your source lists steps out of sequence, the AI proposes a logical order and flags it so you can confirm it before sharing — always review safety- or compliance-critical procedures yourself.

Can I download or print my SOP?

Yes. Every SOP is a PDF you can download, print, or share with a link, and it lands in your library like any other file.

Is it free?

You can create SOPs on the free plan using your shared lifetime AI creation credit, which does not reset. Paid plans raise those limits and support longer source documents.

Can I use it for workplace processes and team documentation?

Yes. It works for any repeatable workplace procedure — onboarding steps, support runbooks, equipment operation, compliance workflows, or handover processes. Upload the process documentation you already have and share the finished SOP PDF with your team.

How do I turn an SOP into training for my team?

Generate the SOP first, then use the same source material with Scholarly's AI training video generator to create a narrated video walkthrough of the procedure, or generate a quiz from it to check that the training landed — all without re-uploading anything.
