Understudy vs Spekit
Spekit tells reps what to click. Understudy captures what the best reps actually do — and why.
Enablement vs. Extraction
Spekit is a digital adoption platform. It lives inside your tools — Salesforce, Outreach, HubSpot — and shows reps contextual guidance as they work. Hover over a field, get an explanation. Navigate to a new screen, see a walkthrough.
That works great when someone has already defined what reps need to know. But the hardest knowledge to capture isn't "what does this Salesforce field mean?" It's "what does our top AE actually say when a prospect raises this objection?"
The Knowledge Gap
In-app guidance assumes the knowledge exists somewhere and just needs to be surfaced at the right moment. Understudy starts earlier — at the point where the knowledge is still locked in someone's head.
Your best sales rep knows 50 things about handling enterprise deals that aren't in any playbook. Your senior engineer knows why the system was built a certain way. Spekit can't surface knowledge that was never written down.
How Understudy Works
Identify the expert and the knowledge domain.
Understudy runs a structured AI interview — probing edge cases, asking follow-ups, catching the nuances.
The output is a structured playbook — steps, decision trees, context. Export it to Spekit, Guru, Confluence, or anywhere.

Guidance is only as good as the knowledge behind it.
