    Keeping Documentation Simple is Hardest but the Best Strategy: Oana Turnea

    In this episode of Knowledge Base Ninjas podcast, Gowri catches up with Oana Turnea, a Technical Program Manager at Microsoft, to talk about creating and managing documentation systems at scale. Oana began her career as a helpdesk analyst and gradually moved towards information management. She says that from when she began working, she had a genuine passion for helping people better understand information. Her drive to improve existing content, combined with her background in linguistics and literature, led her towards knowledge management. Speaking about how teams access and manage knowledge in large organizations, Oana says documentation, internal or public, has to be kept simple—simple formatting, structuring, language, and easy access. She also highlights the importance of clear ownership and reliable internal tools to ensure teams work with current information. The episode also explores the role of AI in documentation workflows. While AI has impacted how documentation is created and maintained, Oana stresses the importance of keeping humans in the loop to ensure accuracy and consistency.

    How Content Structure Directly Impacts AI Accuracy with Rahel Bailie, Content Seriously

    In this episode of the Knowledge Base Ninjas podcast, we have Rahel Anne Bailie, Senior Content Consultant, from Content Seriously. She talks about how organizations are approaching AI and where many miss the mark strategically. She points out that companies often rush to “do AI” without clearly understanding the problem they are trying to solve. She then shifts the focus to existing content and what it really means to be AI-ready. While AI has been used in content optimization tools for years, Rahel notes that this area is already mature. The bigger challenge today is delivering large volumes of existing content effectively through AI-enabled chatbots. Rahel explains that AI works best with structured content, while unstructured content often leads to lower accuracy due to a lack of context. She stresses that human involvement remains essential, as AI can assist with content cleanup and restructuring but cannot operate on its own. She closes by discussing evolving content standards and how to think about ROI, emphasizing the importance for content professionals to understand how LLMs work.
