Driving Documentation Workflows in the Age of AI

The evolution of knowledge dissemination, from the codex format in the first century CE to Gutenberg’s printing press in the 15th century, has consistently redefined how we access and utilize information.

Today, Generative AI represents a transformative paradigm shift, democratizing access to vast knowledge repositories through intuitive conversational interfaces.

Join us for a webinar with Marco Spinello, Senior Technical Writer from Booking.com, to explore how technical communicators can strategically integrate AI to produce superior documentation that resonates with target audiences.

By leveraging AI’s capabilities in gap analysis, accuracy verification, and proactive improvement suggestions, we can move beyond reactive documentation practices.

Discover how AI empowers documentarians to delegate routine tasks, freeing them to focus on critical human-centric aspects such as user empathy and cultivating an inclusive tone of voice.

Key Takeaways:

• Strategic AI Integration Across the Documentation Lifecycle: Discover how AI can be effectively implemented at each stage of the technical documentation process, from initial information gathering to final delivery.
• Iterative Implementation for Optimal Results: Learn the value of starting with targeted, small-scale AI enhancements and iteratively expanding its role within your workflow. For example, begin by leveraging AI to streamline your information gathering processes.
• Workflow Integration, Not Compartmentalization: Understand the importance of seamlessly integrating AI into your existing workflow, rather than treating it as isolated tools. This cohesive approach maximizes efficiency and ensures a unified documentation process.
• AI as a Versatile Collaborative Partner: Explore the diverse roles AI can play, acting as a researcher, sounding board, subject matter expert, and more, depending on the specific requirements of each stage in the documentation lifecycle.
• Automation of Repetitive Tasks with AI Agents: Investigate the potential for automating repetitive tasks using AI agents, where available, to optimize productivity and streamline documentation workflows.

About the Speaker

Marco Spinello is a technical writer who likes to dig into piles of unstructured content to find meaningful knowledge nuggets to organize into discoverable and actionable documentation. As the first technical writer at start-up and scale-up companies, he went from crickets and tumbleweeds to at least a Readme and reference docs. In larger companies, he is usually embedded in multiple engineering teams to craft pragmatic documentation that helps users solve problems and move on toward achieving their goals.When not making typos at scale, he likes to play electric guitar, bass, and Indian sitar.
