Using GenAI To Convert a Ford Model T Manual to DITA

Keith Schengili-Roberts, Head DITAWriter at DITAWriter.com, explores the transformative process of turning a classic Ford Model T automobile user manual into structured DITA content using artificial intelligence. Discover the cutting-edge techniques and unexpected challenges encountered in this unique application of AI technology. Keith will outline the fundamental steps involved in converting unstructured legacy documents into highly organized DITA topics. He’ll share insights on how AI can streamline these processes but also highlight moments where AI may generate less-than-accurate 'hallucinations'—and how to mitigate these errors effectively. Expect to learn not only the technical aspects but also the practical benefits of such conversions. This includes enhanced usability of content for AI-driven applications like chatbots, making information more accessible and functional across various digital platforms.
