Artificial intelligence as a co-pilot for greater efficiency and clarity in illustrated instructions
Carrying out known work steps is usually an intuitive process. Translating this into comprehensible instructions, on the other hand, can be a real challenge – even for proven experts. Explaining complex processes in such a way that they are clearly understandable for everyone: This is quite different from carrying them out yourself in practice. This is where the tepcon instructor takes over with the AI feature.
Documenting and formulating work instructions usually takes considerably more time than actually carrying out the work steps. The requirement that instructions should be generally understandable, objective and properly written means additional work for the editor. On a digital platform such as the tepcon instructor, this can be done much more efficiently and transparently – and with smart AI support, it’s also quicker and easier.
instructor AI can virtually complete visual templates
The instructor AI from tepcon really comes into its own when creating and editing illustrated instructions. Existing image material, for example of machines, devices, tools or individual parts, is analyzed by the AI and modified in a matter of seconds. This creates clearly structured and universally understandable instructions with little effort.
In addition to completing the original image material, for example with markers, symbols and text fields, the AI feature translates the visual content into a clearly formulated instruction text. Editors have the option of shortening or further formulating this text template with just one click.
AI translates subjective know-how into objective knowledge
Anyone who is qualified to create a manual is usually looking through professional glasses with a lot of experience and a high level of self-awareness for details. However, the instructions must also always be plausible and comprehensible for lay users. In practice, there is often a gap here with a large scope for interpretation and a high potential for error, which the tepcon instructor with AI functionality closes effortlessly.
The high effort required to create instructions consistently and accurately is worthwhile, but can simply be avoided with smart AI support. In addition, the responsible specialists have significantly more capacity and concentration for their core activities. In addition to the significant increase in efficiency and productivity, AI support also significantly optimizes the quality of instructions.
Common thread, uniform wavelength
Everyone writes differently, but a pool of instructions as a central source of knowledge needs a uniform wavelength. The instructor AI puts an end to stylistic inconsistencies and patchwork. Through defined target formats and standardization, companies ensure consistent results – this ranges from the use of first names to the level of technical detail of the AI output.
Further functions such as the redaction of confidential information or the documentation of change processes round off the spectrum of instructor AI. The tool is in a constant process of further development and will add valuable features in the future. AI support is fully available to users in the Professional Edition of tepcon instructor.
Whether standard specifications or acute edits in the ongoing process: the AI learns with every impulse and feedback from the team. Over time, everyone involved realizes that the smart tool at their side is working more and more flexibly, precisely and intuitively.
