| Submission declined on 11 October 2023 by Fancy Refrigerator (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Fancy Refrigerator 13 months ago. | |

History
[edit]Knowby was founded in 2019 by Grant Rogers, a veterinarian based in Hobart, Tasmania. The inception of Knowby aimed to improve upon traditional instructional formats like manuals and video tutorials.
The platform is designed for mobile use, providing step-by-step instructions, accessed via the Knowby app, QR code scans, or through text and email links. Emphasis is placed on creating brief and visually clear instructions.
Originally applied in Rogers' veterinary practice, Knowby has expanded its use to sectors including utilities[1], accounting, manufacturing, health and safety, and property management.
Mission
