The Help Center Writer starts from the questions that keep coming back, writes each answer from your own documents with a source for every line and marks a gap instead of guessing. When a source changes, it flags the affected pages. A person approves every article before it is published. How this differs from the Customer Support Agent (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-customer-support-agent): To answer individual customer emails with a person approving each reply, use the Customer Support Agent; the Help Center Writer turns the questions customers keep asking into articles anyone can read. How this differs from the Website Chat Assistant (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-website-chat-agent): the Website Chat Assistant replies to people in a chat box on your site as they browse, while the Help Center Writer prepares self-service articles customers can open at any hour. ## How it works 1. **Gather the questions** (From your support conversations): It collects repeat questions from your support conversations and other sources you point it to. 2. **Pick the topics** (Once the questions are in): It proposes which articles to write first, based on how often each question comes up. 3. **Draft with sources** (For each chosen topic): It writes each article from your documents and cites the source of every line. 4. **You review and approve** (you approve) (Before anything is published): Your team checks the article and its sources, edits anything and approves it for publishing. 5. **Keep it current** (Whenever a source changes): When a source changes, it flags the affected articles and drafts the changes for review. ## When to use it - **Your team answers the same question every week:** It becomes a help article, and future replies can link to it. - **You launched a new feature:** It drafts the how-to article and a short FAQ from the release notes. - **A policy changed:** It lists every article that mentions the old policy and drafts the updates. - **Your help center has grown messy:** It maps what exists, merges duplicates and shows the gaps. - **You want customers to find answers on their own:** Clear, searchable articles cover the questions they actually ask. ## What you get - A ranked list of repeat questions worth an article - Help articles with a short answer, simple steps and a source for every line - FAQ sets for a product, plan or topic - Update drafts when a source changes - An index of articles with gaps and last-checked dates ## Example: help center update Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Turn the questions our customers keep asking into clear help articles, and bring the help center up to date with our October release. This is an illustrative example of the help center update Help Center Writer is being built to produce: repeat questions found in tickets, a new sourced article, release-driven updates and a refreshed FAQ with article health. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented booking software company, with invented tickets, release notes and figures. No real systems or people were involved, and nothing was published or changed. Run date: 15 October 2026. ### What it found - 640 support tickets from 1 September to 9 October held 14 repeat questions; the top one, how to take a deposit at booking, came up 41 times with no article. - The October release changed 7 live articles, from the new calendar week view to the moved payment settings; all 7 are redrafted and 2 outdated articles are marked to retire. - Every new and updated article cites its source, either a ticket set or a product change note, and nothing is published until the support lead approves it. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Help Center Writer is ready for your account. - It writes only from your own sources and cites each one. If no source exists, it marks the gap instead of filling it. - Nothing is published without a person approving the article. - Customer details from support conversations never appear in an article. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you keep a knowledge base up to date? Tie every article to the source it came from, and recheck it whenever that source changes. The Help Center Writer cites the source behind each article and flags pages that need an update after a product change. ### What makes a self-service support article easy to use? The answer comes first, followed by simple steps written for the customer rather than for your team, with the same structure and tone on every page. The Help Center Writer drafts each article to that shape and points every statement to a source a reviewer can check. Across the help center, it also keeps one tone, groups related answers under clear headings and suggests old pages to retire, so a customer finds one current answer rather than several that disagree. ### Which support questions should become help articles first? Start with the ones that keep coming back, because those articles spare your team the most repeat replies. The Help Center Writer gathers repeat questions from your support conversations, ranks them by how often they appear and proposes which articles to write first. ### What should a help center article writer focus on? The questions customers really ask, answered in plain words with the answer first. The Help Center Writer picks topics from your repeat questions and cites the source behind every line. ### Does it publish articles by itself? No. Your team reviews each article and its sources and approves it before it goes live in your help center. ### How does it keep articles up to date? Each article is tied to its sources. When a source changes, it lists the affected articles and drafts the updates for you to check. ### How is it different from the Blog Writer? The Blog Writer writes to bring new readers in from search. The Help Center Writer writes answers for people who are already your customers. ### Is the Help Center Writer available now? Not yet.

You can talk to us today about the questions your customers ask most. ## More on this topic - [The CEO Communication Trap](https://myzone.ai/pages/blog/ai-auto-learn-from-comms): Why leaders spend so much time answering the same questions, and how a shared knowledge base gives that time back. ## About Ai1 Ai1 is the AI operations platform by MyZone AI, where each client runs on its own private server.
