No matter how well-made a digital solution is, it’s doomed for failure over time if it isn’t documented properly. All it takes is for the lead technical developer or main business user to leave the company for a badly documented solution to go from critical to a thing of the past. Yet, it is surprisingly common for documentation of digital tools to not be up to the basic standards of quality. Thanks to generative AI, this could finally change. Imagine a world of well-documented digital solutions.
Generative AI could create based on the description
Generative AI could transform how we craft digital solutions, all thanks to the need for better documentation. Imagine this: generative AI would use detailed documentation as its starting point. The documentation would have been created by the business and technical users in high quality. It would have to meet the standard necessary for AI to create the solution. The tool would then study the specifics of existing solutions from these documents, then uses that knowledge to create new solutions that match the documented requirements.
This approach would simplify the creation process and guarantee that the resulting solutions stay true to the intended functions and designs. In addition, it would clearly shift the burden for quality outputs from where it often lies (with the developers and designers) to where it should lie (equal responsibility between business and tech). Generative AI becomes a potent tool for turning well-documented ideas into real, innovative digital solutions, reshaping our approach to the entire creation process.
Long-lasting and well-documented solutions
Well-documented digital solutions are the key to long-lasting usage within an organization. Thanks to advances in generative AI, it is possible to imagine a world in which it was a given that digital solutions were documented well right from the start. With Generative AI and their LLMs, this could be a possibility! There would be so many amazing implications of this! The ability to collaborate and make improvements based on others’ feedback would explode because you’d no longer rely on getting info from that poor overworked developer. 🙂 The documentation would simply be a critical part of the creation process. Not that it isn’t already now but creation can go on without it so resources are very often simply not found to do it.Â

As this article highlights, there is a lot of potential for generative AI to support on otherwise cumbersome processes. Yet, as this article points out, that’s not a reason to be worried about it taking your job. AI should be seen as augmenting jobs instead of replacing them (corvaglia.me)
