The blank page problem, solved politely
An assistant that drafts, tightens, summarises and translates inside the editor - and never publishes anything a person has not read.
- Drafts from real sources
- Your style guide
- Human approval always
What does the AI writing assistant do?
It works inside the TheDocs editor on the article you have open. It can draft a new article from an outline, a recording, a ticket thread or a specification; rewrite a selected passage for clarity, length or reading level; generate summaries, titles and meta descriptions; translate into any supported language; and check an article against your own style guide. Every result is a suggested edit that an author accepts or rejects.
- Draft from an outline, video, ticket thread, changelog or spec.
- Rewrite for clarity, brevity or a target reading level.
- Generate titles, summaries and SEO meta descriptions.
- Translate while keeping formatting, links and code intact.
- Flag article passages that break your style guide.
- Nothing publishes without a human accepting it.
What you can ask it to do
Aimed at the parts of writing that are mechanical, not the parts that need judgement.
Draft a first version
Give it an outline, a support thread, a Loom recording or a release note. It returns a structured draft using your article template, not a wall of prose.
Tighten what is there
Select a paragraph and ask for shorter, clearer, more direct, or a lower reading level. It rewrites in place as a suggestion you accept or reject.
Translate without breaking things
Code blocks, links, variables and snippet references survive translation. Product terms you mark as do-not-translate stay in English.
Titles, summaries and metadata
Generate an H1, a short summary for category listings, and a meta description within the length search engines actually display.
Enforce the style guide
Load your tone, person, tense and terminology rules. The assistant drafts against them and flags existing articles that drifted.
Refresh a stale article
Point it at a changelog entry and it proposes the specific edits an article needs, rather than rewriting a page that was mostly fine.
How it stays useful rather than annoying
A person is always in the loop
An assistant that writes directly into published documentation is a liability. This one proposes; you dispose.
- Output arrives as a tracked suggestion, shown as a diff against what is there now.
- Accept all, accept per block, or discard.
- AI-assisted edits are labelled in the version history so a reviewer knows what to look at closely.
- Where review workflow is enabled, assisted drafts follow the same approval path as everything else.
It writes like your team, not like a chatbot
Generic AI prose is recognisable and it undermines a documentation set. The fix is giving the model your rules rather than hoping.
- Define voice, person and tense - for example second person, present tense, imperative for procedures.
- Maintain a terminology list: preferred terms, banned terms, and product names that must never be translated or abbreviated.
- Supply two or three exemplar articles; new drafts follow their structure.
- Run a style audit across a whole category to find where the existing content already disagrees with itself.
Teams usually find the style audit more valuable than the drafting. Inconsistent terminology is the single most common reason readers cannot find things.
