Automation Engineering 101 for Tech Docs - Tom Johnson
With AI, tech writers can start shifting gears from writing to automation engineering, in other words, toward creating scripts and instructions that generate the written artifacts you want. But exactly how do you automate complex processes? What works, and what doesn’t when it comes to automation of tech doc processes? Moving beyond hype to practical principles, I’ll share five successful strategies I’ve used in the automation of release notes tasks.
Tom Johnson is a Senior Technical Writer at Google. He blogs about writing, artificial intelligence, and other topics at idratherbewriting.com.
