How often do LLMs visit llms.txt?
Last month, we explored signals for the emerging standard of llms.txt, which is a Markdown file that makes websites easier for LLMs to index.
How Claude's memory and MCP work (and when to use each)
Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude can read files, troubleshoot issues, use external tools, and write tutorials much faster than a human ever could. But they are prone to hallucinations, struggle to follow complex instructions, and miss important context.
Introducing AI Assistant: Turning docs into your product expert
AI is the new interface for learning about your product.
My quick formula for docs that convert
You probably don't immediately notice the design when you walk into a well-designed store. However, you end up finding what you need without wandering, and you move from browsing to buying without getting frustrated. You may notice that you had a pleasant shopping experience, but you may not realize that every part of the environment is intentional: the lighting, the aisles, the checkout flow, even what is placed at eye level.
How to hire your first technical writer
Hiring your first technical writer feels obvious in hindsight, but rarely in the moment. Founders know documentation is important. Teams start drowning in support questions. Engineers grumble about having to write. And then, usually after too much pain, someone says it out loud: we need a writer.
GEO guide to optimize writing for LLMs
Google made it official last week at I/O: AI Overviews are now the default search experience in the U.S.—reaching over 1.5 billion people.
How Windsurf writes docs
At Windsurf, a leading player in the AI coding space, documentation is integrated in how they build, ship, and market their product.
How Anaconda writes documentation
We sat down with Idan Englander, Manager of Technical Writing at Anaconda, to discuss how he scaled from being a solo writer, what documentation processes actually work, and where AI fits (and doesn't) in the writing workflow. If you're curious about more of Idan's writing principles, check out our Guide to Technical Writing.

When we launched our MCP server generator, it was our most viral and well received launch of all time.
How to use MCP servers to generate docs
AI tools have become great at reading documentation and pulling answers. For example, fast, contextual AI chat for docs is now a baseline expectation of users.
AI can write your docs, but should it?
The perception of writing as a profession changed with the proliferation of AI. Generative AI platforms and tools like ChatGPT are now used to create and rewrite content at scale.
What is llms.txt? Breaking down the skepticism
You might be seeing llms.txt pop up more lately. It's a new standard that's quickly gaining traction that makes web content easier for large language models (LLMs) to understand.
mcpt: The curated registry for MCP servers
Note: As of April 2025, we have sunsetted mcpt.com. After receiving immense interest in the registry, we had to make the hard decision that mcpt upkeep was not a bandwidth tradeoff we can make with our lean team. The following content has been left published for transparency.
How to audit and overhaul your software documentation
One of the most common tickets when I join any new company is some variation of "Update X in the documentation." Most teams know the importance of keeping software documentation up to date, but in practice, it often falls to the bottom of their priority list.
What is MCP and how to get started
The Model Context Protocol was introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize how LLMs connect to different data sources and tools, acting like a universal adapter for AI applications.
Generate MCP servers from your docs
Everything that you need to build a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is already available in your docs.
How Generative Engine Optimization is Reshaping Docs
Large language models (LLMs) are changing SEO—and giving rise to a new frontier: generative engine optimization (GEO). Studies are projecting LLM traffic to skyrocket from 0.25% of all search volume in 2024 to 10% by the end of 2025.
Should you build or buy an API documentation tool?
For companies that rely on a strong developer experience, technical documentation is more than just a helpful resource—it is a key differentiator.
When do you really need a monorepo?
Software engineering teams often face an important decision: "Should all projects live in one repository or be split across multiple repositories?" This decision impacts build times, CI/CD pipelines, dependency management, and even documentation accuracy.
Fireside Chats: Gong's Approach to Software Documentation
We sat down with Jeffrey Aftel, Director of Product Writing at Gong, to discuss his approach to rebuilding legacy software documentation, his principles for impactful content, and the traits he looks for in technical writers.
