AI for documentation: keeping knowledge current and findable
Documentation decays quickly. AI can draft, summarise and reorganise, but only if someone owns accuracy.
By the Halden editorial team
Why it helps
Drafting is the barrier.
Most documentation is not written because starting is hard. AI can turn notes, tickets and code into a first draft that an expert corrects.
A simple routine
Draft, review, publish.
Collect the source material, ask for a structured draft, have the owner correct it, and publish with a review date.
- Gather real sources.
- Draft with a template.
- Expert review.
- Publish with an owner.
Keep it current
Scheduled review.
Ask the assistant to compare docs with recent changes and flag mismatches. A person decides what to update.
Make it findable
Structure and search.
Use consistent titles and summaries so people and assistants can find the right page. Avoid duplicates.
