Talk Title: Automation Engineering 101 for Tech Docs
Speaker: Tom Johnson
Description: With AI, tech writers can begin shifting from traditional writing toward automation engineering—in other words, creating scripts and instructions that generate the written artifacts you need. But how do you automate complex processes effectively? What works and what does not when automating technical documentation workflows? Moving beyond the hype to practical principles, I will share five successful strategies I have used to automate release notes tasks.
