AI is an accelerating phenomenon from a technological perspective that inevitably arrived, and now it’s advancing much more rapidly. Innovation has been part of our culture; we’ve built it into the environment, so when people have ideas or opportunities to do things differently, we embrace that in Document360.

What have we offered?

Document360’s search capabilities have been a standout feature, allowing users to quickly find information despite extensive documentation. With the enhancements, these capabilities have reached a new level, offering an even more intuitive and powerful search experience. The search function was equipped with advanced algorithms and a user-friendly interface, ensuring users can quickly locate the exact information they need within the documentation. Now, we would like to take things one step further, powered by AI.

What necessitates a change?

The knowledge base contains hundreds of articles. For instance, a reader of a product manual is required to perform steps or instructions to configure the product. This leads to performing additional activities, especially while referring to multiple articles across categories. Eventually, this consumes time, creates confusion, and might end up providing a bad user experience while intending to perform respective tasks in the system. With these identified pain points of our readers, we are introducing AI to the search to provide more to increase efficiency, reduce time, and enhance readability.

How are we achieving it?

We are excited to introduce Eddy, our AI mascot, to the Document360 family. As an assistive search AI, Eddy plays an important role in enhancing the user experience. Our systems utilize advanced algorithms powered by OpenAI to understand user queries and provide respective answers with accurate information.

We have introduced the ‘AI Settings’ option in the knowledge base portal, which allows users to enable the “AI assistive search” function. The setup process is designed to be effective, requiring only a few minutes to complete. The mechanism involves creating an embedding of your content and storing it on the backend. This approach ensures that search can swiftly respond to the queries posted by readers on the knowledge base site. As the content grows, the information gets updated within the embedding, and responses are enhanced automatically for readers.

For example, to successfully integrate Google Analytics into Document360, users are required to follow a series of detailed instructions. This process is crucial to ensure that the integration is effortless and functional. It involves several steps, each needing careful attention to detail.

Once users initiate the integration process, they might need to read various articles or resources to confirm that every configuration setup is enabled. This step is essential to ensure that the integration not only aligns with the users’ specific needs but also functions optimally within the context of the knowledge base.

With the implementation of “Ask Eddy“, every piece of information is consolidated into a single view and a list of articles where the source of information is retrieved is displayed for readers to verify.

Ask Eddy

Eddy Search

The feature is hugely beneficial for readers, as it allows them to easily verify the source articles from where information is retrieved and displayed along with prompt responses on the knowledge base site, ensuring transparency and credibility.

Eddy Question

Eddy search 1

In addition, the system has a feedback mechanism where every response generated by Eddy has an option for users to provide feedback. This feedback not only acts as a measure of user satisfaction but plays a crucial role in the continuous improvement of the algorithm. Each piece of feedback contributes to the system’s learning process, enabling the algorithm to refine its search capabilities and response accuracy over time.

The process of learning and adaptation is of paramount importance in maintaining the effectiveness and relevance of Eddy. By regularly incorporating user feedback, the algorithm becomes aligned with the specific needs and preferences of users. This leads to a more personalized and efficient search experience, ensuring that the Eddy feature remains a valuable and dynamic tool.

What about our data privacy?

As we evolve further into the Artificial Intelligence space, all the information has to be protected with the best methods following appropriate industry practices. Our systems are designed to comply with the data protection regulations of OpenAI. We ensure that all user data is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and integrity.

With Eddy, Document360 makes a step forward in the journey to make information access seamless and intuitive for all users.

The post Streamlining Content Journey: Effortless Title Recommendations and Summaries appeared first on Document360.

]]>
We all know the surge of Artificial Intelligence since the 2010s and its impact in aiding people – ranging from our daily usage devices to predicting the natural calamity of the 2050s. Open AI is a research organization focusing on promoting friendly and beneficial AI. They develop various programming models and release various AI-related projects and tools. One such notable achievement is the advanced language model ChatGPT – a generative pre-trained transformer, simply put – a model that is trained to provide contextually relevant responses when users prompt for answers.

We at Document360 thought through how such a massive advancement can be leveraged for our users to make their life easy while documenting. We figured out two areas where our users can leverage the features – Article Title Recommender and Article Summarizer.

Article Title Recommender

Content structuring is a great deal for the contributors; aligning them in contextual flow takes time and effort. However, while the content gets updated regularly there is a strong chance that the article title provided in the first place may be irrelevant down the timeline. 90% of the contributors don’t want to change the article title since it has been registered with their readers’ community, but there is a conceptual change within the updated content.

Document360 is now infused with powerful AI tools from ChatGPT, which suggests the new article title whenever the users feel the time to modify it to align with the concepts they are referring to in the contents. We aesthetically designed it to make it simpler, so that it wouldn’t allow them to interrupt their daily workflows within an article. Keep it simple – is the principle we try to adhere to, and as the phrase goes by, while the contributors click on the Article Title – the system provides an option to receive title suggestions from AI systems. This, in turn, suggests title options that are closely associated with content provided by the contributor. And we do value your feedback, so as to improvise our suggestions.

Article Title Recommender Display

Article Title Recommender Suggest

By maintaining a strong association between the suggested titles and the content, users can quickly grasp the main topic or idea being conveyed, leading to increased interest and interaction.

Note: For the AI models to generate accurate title suggestions, it is recommended that an article consists of a minimum of 100 words. This ensures that the models have sufficient content to analyze and derive meaningful suggestions. By meeting this minimum word threshold, users can obtain more reliable and relevant title options for their articles from the AI models.

Article Summarizer

Yes, from the contributor’s perspective, we have now been empowered with an AI feature, but we do have a solution for the content consumers, who are the readers of the articles. Often readers end up reading articles that end up containing irrelevant information. Typically, an article comprises approximately 800-1000 words, which translates to an estimated reading time of 5-7 minutes. This duration holds significant value for readers, ensuring that the content is concise and easily digestible without overwhelming them with an excessive amount of information.

To facilitate readers in finding relevant content efficiently, we have implemented the Article Summarizer feature. This feature offers a concise summary of the entire content in just a few words. By utilizing this summary, readers can make quick decisions regarding whether the forthcoming content aligns with their intended interests and objectives. If the content doesn’t match their requirements, they have the option to explore other articles within the documentation for the desired information.

This feature can be enabled by the users at the portal level, so the summary information is displayed at the knowledgebase site for the readers. In Settings  -> Knowledge base Site -> Article Settings & SEO, enable the option “Show AI Article Summarizer”. 

Article Summarizer

At the knowledge base site, readers now can access a summary of the entire article, enabling them to quickly grasp the key points without investing significant time. This streamlined approach allows them to make informed decisions on whether to explore the article further or proceed to other relevant content with minimal time investment.

Growth of knowledge base

Day-by-day the volume of articles within knowledge base keeps growing as the markets are launching more innovative products across all domains. In general, the volume of your knowledge base significantly increases based on the frequency of the creation of new articles, updates on the articles being published, and relevance of the information being added on the subject matter.

While the growth is a dynamic process, the information being added should provide a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the subject, ultimately benefiting both contributors and readers as well.

As a content writer, you are required to group the content logically, and from the readers’ view, you should be able to find related content based on the topics. The purpose of logical grouping is to help readers easier to understand complex information by breaking into smaller contents through many articles. And this logical grouping, can be achieved through tags.

Need for the tags!

Tags are keywords or labels that are added to articles to help organize and categorize them. They can be leveraged in helping the readers to identify/find related articles on the same topic.

Here are some common uses of tags in articles:

Categorization: Tags are used to categorize articles according to topic, making it easier for readers to find articles that interest them. For instance, a blog featuring about food might use tags like “recipes,” “cooking tips”, “reviews,” and so on.

Navigation: Tags can also be used to create navigation menus on a webpage, allowing readers to easily browse articles by topics.

Related content: Tags can be used to suggest related articles to readers, based on the tags assigned to the article they are currently reading.

This helps keep readers engaged and encourages them to explore more content on the website.

Overall, tags are a useful tool for organizing and categorizing content on a website and can help improve the user experience for readers.

Document360 – AI Tag Recommender

AI Tag recommendation is one of the robust features in Document360 that can vastly improve the user experience of a knowledge base platform. In this feature blog, I will describe about the implementation of the feature both for a newly created article and as well as existing article as well.

We first needed to identify corresponding tags for the articles based on the content. We have harnessed the power of machine learning algorithms to analyse the text of the articles, recognize the topics and themes. The artificial intelligence library then tokenizes the text, remove stop words and identify parts of speech, and group them based on the topics. Next step is we require a human touch to validate them and accept these tags to be associated with the articles.

We are now ensuring users do not miss to keep up the good practices of adding tags to the articles they are publishing. Wait a moment, we are not stopping just there you can now also add tags to the existing articles without publishing them as well. Document360 provides two methods for you to associate tags, one at the event of publishing an article and another at the article settings.

Editor – Publish

You can now add tags while publishing the article, you can choose to accept the generated tags from AI of Document360 and same can be managed at Content Tools > Documentation > Tags Management as well.

Article Publish

Editor – Article Settings

In case, if you have skipped to add to them while publishing, don’t you worry, we have covered the scenario and through article settings the tags can be generated and associated as well.

Article Settings

Effective use of Tags

You can also associate the newly generated tags by our system to your files. By tagging files with relevant keywords or phrases, you can quickly and easily search for and retrieve specific files, regardless of their location within your Drive folder structure. These tags you are associating should be relevant to the types of files you are working with and be consistent across all files to ensure uniformity. Not only this, but you can also filter articles, category as pages and files in the full portal search which helps you to discover closely related items you are looking for.

Final thoughts

Overall, the tag recommendation feature greatly improves the user experience of the knowledge base platform by making it easier for users to find relevant articles. By combining machine learning and human input, we were able to generate accurate and relevant tags for each article. The tag recommendation algorithm provides users with useful suggestions that save time and improve the accuracy of the tags. We believe that this feature will increase user engagement and satisfaction with our knowledge base platform.

The post Create a delightful user experience with the Auto-register SSO feature appeared first on Document360.

]]>
Many organizations possess numerous applications to cater to their business needs and enable the workforce to access them with unique credentials. As the number of application numbers scaled up, users of the application found it cumbersome to remember the password. To comply with the security norms of the organization, they are also not encouraged to note it down in notebooks. On the other hand, administrators of the applications find it extremely difficult to add new users whenever required into multiple applications.

What is SSO and how does it work?

The need to simplify access for users through the one-stop solution, perhaps through a single click without compromising security policies has become an ultimate demand of the infrastructure teams within the organization. In addition, the proliferation of passwords eventually raised concerns causing a threat to compliance with security norms authored by both, governments, and organization standards.

A Single Sign On (SSO) authentication scheme was introduced to overcome these issues, and the standards were widely accepted by all the technical gurus. SSO allows users to log in once to an application and enables access to all related systems without the need to log in separately.

Thus, system administrators have minimal work with configuring access to the systems. Subsequently, the events of forgotten, not working, or expired credentials are less probable to happen and easier to manage.

As we can see, SSO can improve multiple processes in the organization.

Document360 current scope on Single Sign-on

The Enterprise SSO (Single Sign-On) feature supported by Document360 enhances the authentication user experience, meanwhile providing an additional level of security. The user does not need to worry about remembering the individual credentials for each application or project. A user who are enabled to logging into an application or website with the SSO feature would be able to log on to other applications listed by the Service provider. User can login any time for the applications without having the key in their login credential. Document360 supports SAML SSO, Open ID, and JWT authentication formats allowing customers to easily bring in their users – team accounts and readers, into the Document360 application. For more details about configuring Enterprise SSO in Document360, read the documentation.

In addition, there are many SSO Identity Providers in the market such as Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, etc which facilitate the infrastructure teams to set up. They can integrate all end-user web and mobile apps via their own IdP (Identity Providers). They support a wide range of personalization, setup, and installation actions while getting started following the security protocols as per the established standards. These providers will be listed with options of applications used within the organization, so whenever a new user is added to the IdP, they can be assigned to those required/ requested applications based on their roles.

What is the pressing problem with SSO?

Document360 supports SSO activation for the team accounts which act as authorized persons to add required team accounts, readers who can access and read the contents of the knowledgebase site. However, the knowledgebase site is largely used by the end-users of the customer, who are the readers accessing it for different purposes such as referring to manuals, technical documents, troubleshooting guides, installation procedures, product descriptions, customer service-related resources about the product, and so on. etc. Configuring readers manually consumes additional efforts for the users in terms of ensuring reader activation and an optional validation in assigning the contents they would be viewing at the knowledgebase site.

What have we achieved?

We have now provided an enhanced SSO support system that will help our customers easily include the readers into the Document360 once they are part of the IdP configured. When the Customers’ infrastructure team provides application access at their IdP and followed by configuration of Enterprise SSO within Document360 then readers can now be able to view the knowledgebase site content that is assigned to them. In the previous flow, there is an option for the user to send an email invitation to the readers, and the same approach is handled in our new solution. With “send invitation mail” initiated or not, still readers will be able to access the knowledgebase site. Having said that, still, the user can manually create a reader from Document360 and assign the relevant content role.

With the new implementation, the users are suggested to enable the “Auto Register SSO for Readers” setting in their already configured SSO feature. While doing so, users are requested to configure the default Reader group(s) who are accessing the knowledgebase site. In the background, the application validates the reader against the entries lying within the IdP and adds the new reader in Document360. This also ensures no duplicates are added further to the system.

Last thoughts

Make use of the auto register option to avoid the SSO readers additional step in Document360. When this option is enabled, SSO readers who have logged into identity providers can quickly access the Knowledge base with the identity provider credentials. You can enable/disable this option as per your requirement.

End-users delight in the uninterrupted login experience, and seamless access to Document360 which ensures productivity. This feature helps you onboard the readers quickly, improve usability, and save time.

In the last few years, search engines have significantly changed how we find information, research, shop for products and services, entertain ourselves, and connect with others. Behind almost every online destination – whether it’s a website, blog, social network, or app – is a search engine and they understand what your content is about and how to rank it.

What is SEO?

SEO – Search Engine Optimization a practice that assists to increase your website’s visibility in the search results of major search engines. In short, search engines take in digital content and index / organise this information into results pages.

Motto is to make organic searchers happy with the non-paid results they find in the search engine results pages

What attributes of the website contribute to this SEO?

Search engines look at site structure and design, visitor behaviour, and other external, off-site factors to determine how highly ranked your site should be in their SERPs.

To achieve that reach, we must understand 3 core components

  • Identify the content type and the search engine users prefer.
  • How search engines work to discover, index and serve content in search result pages.
  • How to optimise your website to let search engines more about it and attract user attention.

The optimization is often about making small modifications to parts of your website. These are minor improvements; however, when combined they would create remarkable impacts both at site’s user experience and performance in organic search results.

What ways to optimize?

There are many factors to look for while optimizing the website to improve the SEO of your site pages, but search engines essentially look for elements including title tags, meta descriptions, image tags, and links associated, both internal and external links for the site.

Now let’s move on how to improve knowledge base SEO using proper meta description.

Why to use Meta Description Tags?

A webpage’s title may be a few words or a phrase, whereas a page’s meta description tag might be a sentence or two or even a short paragraph. These tags provide a summary of what the webpage is about, to prominent search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Yandex, Baidu and DuckDuckGo.

What are best practices of creating quality Meta Description tags?

Meta description gives the user an idea of the particular page content. Its like a pitch that convinces the user that the page is exactly what they’re looking for. There’s no limit on how long a meta description can be, but the snippet is truncated in search results that typically qualifies in the range of 155-160 characters. Some basics to follows while creating meta description tags are:

  • Ensure all web pages at your site has a meta description.
  • Create unique and quality descriptions for each page on your site
  • The description should include relevant information about the content.
  • Programmatically generate descriptions
