Salient Accelerator · Free Trial

Meet SPADE. Your AI process analyst.

Turn process documents, images, and call transcripts into editable BPMN diagrams. SPADE extracts the process model, SIPOC, and time metrics from the artifacts your team already has, then exports to BPMN, XLSX, or TXT.

Free tier is always free. Upgrade when you need more.

Why It Matters

The process knowledge is already there. Capturing it is the bottleneck.

How It Works

Discover, analyze, and optimize in one toolkit

Process knowledge is already sitting in your SOPs, flowcharts, and meeting recordings. SPADE turns those artifacts into structured, editable models in three phases.

Discover

Gather existing artifacts and translate them into structured insights. Works on documents and transcripts, image diagrams and flowcharts, or mixed files in one pass.

Analyze

Evaluate models with intelligent checks and guidance. Validate BPMN against best practices, and update existing models with new information so they stay current.

Optimize

Design and align on your target operating model. Capture proposed changes and simulate their impact before anyone commits budget.

What Users Say

Real teams, real process work

"

I'd rather have people talk through their process than focus on creating the map. I put the transcript into Spade and it output the SIPOC and process details. It lets you get more people involved without bottlenecking on the one or two people who know how to map.

With us being so lean and mean, it allows us to take what we've built, utilize it, and just tweak certain things. Especially with all the great details captured within it, it's fantastic. I truly love it.

Where SPADE Fits

The discovery engine inside our process intelligence work

SPADE is the same tool Salient analysts use in CLARITY engagements to capture actual process execution, including the off-system work standard tooling can't see. It pairs with two other pieces.

Process Intelligence & Discovery

The solution SPADE was built for. Mapping, analysis, simulation, and the business case that gets automation and AI investment approved.

Business Compass

Where SPADE's models go next. ROI simulation and scenario modeling that turn a mapped process into a ranked, defensible investment case.
