AI DocBot app

NetApp's extensive technical documentation, spanning thousands of pages in multiple formats, made it difficult for internal teams to efficiently locate answers to complex questions. Navigating the system was cumbersome, often leading to unanswered inquiries and wasted time. The product team was tasked with improving efficiency and streamlining access to critical information.

AI to the rescue

The product team developed a DocBot, a custom AI chat bot using a fine-tuned LLM ​trained using thousands of NetApp's technical documentation​s from across the enterprise. This solution enable​s analysts, product owners, and engineers to efficiently search and navigate thousands of technical documents using natural language, through a single source of truth.

Code generation & 'document chatting'

Again, leveraging user interviews and surveys the design team introduced use-case specific features such as generating real-time code for easier API integrations and focusing the chat experience around specific documents to help frame the context of the responses.

While the product design portion of this product has been handed off, The application is still in production while the SageMaker LLM is being trained, validated and tested. Once the engineering teams and API teams have wired up the UI our team will reengage and begin usability testing.
