The rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in recent years has left almost no business area untouched. That includes the field of knowledge management. AI massively accelerates knowledge management by improving content creation, content management, and content discovery in many ways.
AI-powered customer self-service is already being used by some top brands. 63% of businesses say customer experience is improved by AI in self-service. Interactive knowledge bases are used by more than half of businesses globally. Thus, AI in knowledge management is an important area for innovation. It is already an automated form of customer service. Implementing AI algorithms to level up your customer service has the potential to revolutionize this area.
Knowledge management is the active storage and retrieval of information within the organization. Businesses are already utterly dependent on technology to automate much of this process, in which AI is now playing an increasingly crucial role.
The Role of AI in Knowledge Management
We’re already very used to having AI assist us in creating content due to tools like automatic spell and grammar checkers. Well, now AI can go much further in actually helping us draft, refine, and edit our content. So, on the content side, you can create technical documentation much faster, with much more relevance, and review and update much more easily.
With the support of AI, the knowledge base also becomes a much more powerful resource. AI helps your users discover content, makes personalized recommendations, and provides instant answers. Your knowledge base goes from static to dynamic and from passive to interactive. It overcomes siloes in knowledge management by unifying different sources of information.
You can also use AI for knowledge base admin, making it much easier to manage your system. AI can flag your content for review, identify gaps in your knowledge, and give insights into knowledge base performance. Since AI is particularly good at dealing with information and generating answers, knowledge management is currently being revolutionized by this technology.
How AI is Used in Knowledge Management
AI is used in a particular way in knowledge management to benefit both users and authors. Now let’s look at how AI is changing the realm of Knowledge Management.
To Simplify Knowledge Discovery with AI-powered Search
Search is becoming increasingly important in the knowledge base as customers become used to the sophistication of Google. You can’t afford to lag in search, so using AI, which is highly sensitive to context and keywords, provides much better answers for customers.
To Revolutionize Self-service with Personalized Assistance
An AI chatbot can circumvent the taxonomy of your knowledge to provide customers with highly personalized service. Customers can access the self-service answers they crave and recommending related articles circumvents the need to have an agent helping customers.
To Respond Quickly
AI knowledge bases can integrate with ticketing systems to recommend articles to common customer questions automatically. Customers browsing a website can be served content that helps them even before they have questions. Customers can ask bots questions and be instantly served an answer, even if they don’t use the right keywords.
Here is an example of an email template created in the Document360 KB site using Eddy, the AI assistant, to respond quickly to the customer’s email.
To Aid Technical Writers in Content Creation
By incorporating generative AI into the creation of content, you can significantly speed up the role of technical writers. You can improve their productivity with automated prompts from the software, use AI article writers to create content structure and tweak the content, suggest titles to choose, automatic summaries, and suggest related articles. Semantic rules allow authors to improve content readability and optimize for search. AI can also control the business glossary terms that technical writers employ in content, ensuring consistency.
To Amplify Onboarding and Training
AI-strengthened systems can amplify the onboarding and training process when it comes to knowledge management. You can personalize content based on what employees have been reading and suggest further resources. For example, AI could recommend taking a course based on which particular resources the employee has been consuming.
Key Features in AI Knowledge Management Software
The latest developments in AI knowledge management software follow several key trends.
Personalized User Experience
By dynamically serving content and using the database to anticipate user needs, AI knowledge bases can offer a far more personalized user experience. Users aren’t required to know everything about your knowledge base to take advantage of the information contained within it. The AI knowledge base offers content recommendations, related articles, chatbots suggesting answers, and more.
Enhanced Search and Retrieval
Search and retrieval are key user processes during knowledge management. Being required to dig deep through the knowledge base hierarchy is a waste of time when AI can perform this function for you.
Automation of Repetitive Content Development
If you need to create content that is highly repetitive with only slight differences, you can use AI to automate this process. This saves you large amounts of time and also reduces the chance of error when duplicating your content.
Article Outline Creation
One of the big benefits of generative AI is creating article outlines automatically that you can trust will be highly relevant to users. Ask AI to generate heading ideas for you to fill in later with technical information for your users.

Content Review Process
AI can review your content for grammatical errors, typos, and content flow for a polished final product. You can ask AI to change the tone of your content to fit a predetermined guideline, refine it for SEO, or simplify the language. AI upgrades your content and makes it better.
Article Title Creation
AI can create titles for you that are perfectly optimized for search engines and match likely keywords when users look for them in the knowledge base.Creating article titles can be tedious, but it’s much easier when you use AI to help you.

Advanced and Predictive Analytics
Analytics fused with AI allows you to obtain greater insights about your knowledge base and also predict gaps in the content that you can fill with new articles. You can generate better reports and predict and anticipate trends without too much effort.
Content Summarization
Sometimes, users don’t need to read the whole length of an article. The good news is that AI can quickly generate a summary for you that accurately conveys the meaning of the article in fewer words.
