DigitalOcean shared how it built an AI documentation assistant for its developer docs. The post highlights a practical assistant that returns grounded answers with useful links and commands.
The assistant answers plain-language questions and returns links and commands users can act on. DigitalOcean says it took multiple iterations to make the system reliable enough for production.
This is a good example of moving support workloads into an AI-assisted layer. It can reduce docs friction and repetitive support demand if the grounding stays strong.
Teams building internal docs assistants should study the evaluation approach. The post is especially relevant if you need an agent that can be trusted to answer from real sources.
