- Artificial intelligence needs minimalism - a new application for DITA?
Last week, I presented an evolved version of my “AI the docs!” talk. This time with the subtitle “Conversational UI, Embedded Help and Artificial Help. A fertile ground for minimalism and DITA” at CIDM’s European DITA conference in Munich, 2016 November 14-15.
Video recording:
I started my talk from the same base concepts as my talk at Write the Docs Prague, but the structure was much better and there were several new insights that I think can be valuable if you are considering the space.
In my talk I focussed on:
why teaching through conversation is back and why I believe this is the future of documentation, even if manuals will remain relevant and never completely go away.
You can find the slides here.
