For sure. It can be challenging to inculcate a culture of treating docs as a product, but since great docs can drive revenue growth and bad docs can increase churn, it's a very important mindset.

In terms of creating guides/examples for third-party tools, do you have a particular use-case in mind? e.g. if you're something like Zapier with hundreds of connections?

Re: 3rd party integrations, think glue code for enterprise platforms (I previously worked on the developer platform at Shopify).

For example, a guide to integrate Shopify's Storefront API with Sanity CMS. These are usually a marketing/product thing more than developer docs... and almost always become obsolete after the next release and forgotten about.

Would've loved to generate a bunch of these guides and then automatically keep them up-to-date with code examples, and help serve both purposes for growth and developer docs.

  • Yes, absolutely! Someone mentioned a similar situation where they had 100+ integration-specific landing pages in webflow (mostly for SEO) that became stale within months.

    Definitely would love to pick your brain more about this if interested. prithvi@gopromptless.ai

Have any of your customers provided case study information that would imply some reduction in churn or an increase in inbound leads or sales?

  • Yeah, great question! The earliest quantitative measurements people make are around how much time is being saved, but people are also measuring deflection rates in AI support chatbots (better docs => better support), which is strongly correlated with CSAT scores. Measuring reduction in churn or increased inbound takes several months to prove out, and we just haven't been around that long :)

    We'll definitely be posting some case studies in the coming weeks, though!
