AI and workflow automation for technical writing

We support technical writing teams in using AI wisely and in automating workflows within existing content processes. As an experienced service provider, we actively shape the further development of these processes using modern AI solutions – practically, strategically and in close collaboration with our clients.

 

AI-assisted content creation in technical writing

We offer advice on how you can use AI strategically throughout the entire editorial process. The aim is to automate repetitive tasks and support writing teams as they work on content.

Typical scenarios include:

  • Automated content generation based on structured data and existing content
  • AI-assisted translations and post-editing concepts for multilingual documentation
  • Automated quality assurance, e.g. terminology checks, style guides, and consistency checks

Our advice is tailored to consider not only the technology, but also editorial standards, compliance requirements and levels of acceptance within the writing team.

Assessing the use of AI throughout the writing and documentation process

Not every stage of the process benefits equally from AI. We work with you to analyse the areas in which AI tools or AI agents can deliver real added value and reduce costs.

We offer consultancy services that include:

  • Analysing your existing writing, translation and publication processes
  • Identifying stages in the process that are suitable for AI assistance
  • Recommending specific tools and integration scenarios

This allows us to ensure that AI is used tactically wherever it can ease the burden on writers and deliver measurable results.

Integration of AI solutions and partner technologies

In addition to consultancy and concept development, we also handle the technical integration of AI solutions – those from our own portfolio as well as from selected technology partners. Our aim is to seamlessly integrate AI functionality into your technical writing department’s existing systems and processes.

We can help you with:

  • Integrating AI tools into content management systems, translation management systems or content delivery platforms
  • Integrating AI agents with existing automation or workflow components
  • Tuning and training AI models using company-specific data
  • Establishing secure interfaces and governance structures for productive use

Through close collaboration with established partners, we combine our editorial and technical expertise with innovative AI technologies – to deliver practical, future-proof solutions that integrate seamlessly into your system landscape.

Business process automation for technical documentation

Alongside AI, the automation of business and editorial processes plays a key role. We offer support in implementing tools and workflows to automate routine tasks, including:

  • Publication in various formats
  • Version control and variant management
  • Approval and review processes
  • Interfaces between content management systems, TMS, CMS and PIM platforms

The goal is fewer manual interventions, fewer mistakes and significantly faster turnaround times

Rule-based vs AI-based workflows

Not every workflow needs to be “intelligent”. We can support you in deciding when rule-based workflows and when AI-based, dynamic workflows will deliver the greatest benefits.

  • Rule-based workflows: Clearly defined triggers and actions, high transparency, ideal for stable standard processes
  • AI-based workflows: Dynamic and decision-driving, for example for prioritisation, routing or quality assessment

We work hand-in-hand with you to develop a workflow concept that is tailored to your processes, your tool landscape and your AI maturity level.

Technology assessment and bespoke roadmap

The market for editorial and AI technologies is ever-changing – and can therefore be confusing. We can help you to decipher current trends and assess their relevance for your technical documentation.

Our services:

  • Analysis of your current system and process landscape
  • Assessment of technologies such as AI, automation and integrations
  • Prioritisation according to benefit, effort and risk
  • Formulation of a bespoke technology and implementation roadmap

This will give you clear grounds for making your decision and offer a realistic outlook on the next steps.
