Knowby PTY LTD is an Australian-based technology company with a global team. The company's primary focus is on creating and delivering instructional content. Its flagship product, Knowby Pro, is designed for crafting and sharing step-by-step instructions, known as knowbys.
History
Knowby was founded in 2019 by Grant Rogers, a dairy farmer and veterinarian based in Hobart, Tasmania. Rogers created Knowby to address the inefficiencies he observed in traditional manuals and video tutorials. His initial intention was to create a manual and video tutorials for his employees but recognised that these formats were not practical. This led to the development of Knowby through the Sprout NZ incubator program.
Knowby is a step-by-step instruction sharing tool designed for mobile use. Instructions, or "knowbys," can be accessed through the app, via QR code scans, or through text or email links. The instructions are designed to be brief and visual.
Rogers applied the tool in his veterinary practice, using knowby links to guide clients through specific issues. This method aimed to streamline the process for both Rogers and his clients.
Knowby has been used in various sectors, including utilities[1], accounting, manufacturing, health and safety, and short-term rental property management.
Mission
The company's stated mission is to "Capture humanity's know-how, and make everyone an instant expert".
