# How do you prepare your knowledge base for AI?

Prepare your knowledge base for AI by removing outdated and duplicate articles, writing one topic per article with clear titles and step-by-step instructions, stating conditions and exceptions explicitly, filling gaps found in recent tickets, tagging articles by product and audience, and keeping content synced with product changes so the AI never answers from stale information.

## Checklist

| Task | Why |
|---|---|
| Archive outdated articles | Stops wrong answers |
| Merge duplicates | Avoids conflicting answers |
| One topic per article | Better retrieval |
| Explicit conditions | "If you're on the Pro plan…" |
| Plain text over images | AI can read it |
| Gap analysis from tickets | Covers real questions |
| Ownership and review dates | Keeps it current |

## Beyond the knowledge base

Many answers live in tickets, docs and product data. Connecting these sources gives AI more complete context.

## FAQ

### Does AI need a perfect knowledge base?

No, but quality directly affects accuracy. Start with your top intents.

### Should articles be written differently for AI?

Clear, structured, specific writing helps both humans and AI.

### How do I find knowledge gaps?

Review questions the AI couldn't answer and common ticket topics without articles.
