Introduction
Knowledge. It is the lifeblood of your team. And there is no better way to document knowledge than with a knowledge base.
But some teams want to go further. They want a knowledge base article generator to help them with their content efforts. They want to use AI in their documentation journey so their team can save time and look at the bigger picture.
Sure, some of us love to write, but AI can write for us. And when it comes to knowledge base articles, the more writing the better. The faster we can do it, the faster we can educate our teams, improve engagement and skyrocket productivity.
What is a Knowledge Base Article Generator?
A knowledge base article generator is an AI-powered tool that automatically creates knowledge base articles for you. It’s not about removing humans, but empowering them to use their skills to create content at scale.
Knowledge base articles are generated by tools such as Document360 to produce a strong first draft which then requires editing by your technical writers. You can produce articles in seconds, rather than hours or days, and then publish them in the knowledge base ready for access by everyone in your team.
Knowledge base article generators provide access to knowledge for all. With the combination of the expertise from your content writing team, and the speed of AI to create articles from your inputs, you can quickly create a comprehensive and useful knowledge base for your users.
Why Use a Knowledge Base Article Generator?
- Speed up Documentation Workflows – documentation is essential but it can take a long time to create. With a knowledge base article generator, you can speed up documentation workflows to document your products, processes or services in a fraction of the time it would take for technical writers to achieve the same results.
- Generate Content from Existing Resources – AI can take advantage of existing resources like videos, or transcripts or from prompts to generate content, so you don’t always have to start from scratch. Sometimes you already have the but you just need to turn it into the right format. Knowledge base article generators can help you do this.
- Ensure Consistency Using a Style Guide – just like with human writers, there can be variations in consistency between your knowledge base articles. Document360 allows you to use a style guide to standardize the style, tone and voice of your knowledge base articles so you speak with one brand.
