Cherryleaf has developed over 30 apps that use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of documentation. We can show you how you can build these or similar apps, either as part of a project or consultancy, or as part of a training course for your company.
They include:
- Human and LLM content optimiser
- Reader simulator
- Diátaxis apps
- Automating changelogs and release notes
- Technical documentation dashboards
Below, you’ll find a brief description of what they do, together with some screenshots. We have further apps in development.
Human and LLM content optimiser app
Your documents aren’t just reference materials. Today, they’re also training data for AI. We’ve developed an AI tool that reviews and optimises draft content for both humans and LLMs.
How it works
- Paste or upload a document
- Get an instant report. It
- Evaluates readability for both audiences
- Identifies potential issues
- Suggests specific improvements
- You also have the option for the app to implement the recommended improvements.
The objective is to enable you to write content that works for both human readers and AI systems (i.e. they interpret and represent your message accurately).
Reader simulator
Reader Simulator is tool for evaluating documentation through the lens of simulated AI user personas. This helps you check you are meeting the needs of the different types of users.
Diátaxis apps
The Diátaxis framework, developed by Daniele Proceda, is a systematic approach to organising documentation. Diátaxis can transform your portal from a simple content repository into a purposeful, user-centric information system designed for developer success.
The Diátaxis Auditor is an app that acts as a smart content auditor. It analyses documentation using the Diátaxis framework, classifying content into Tutorials, How-to Guides, Reference, and Explanation.
The Diátaxis Transformer is an app that splits content into the four distinct Diátaxis outputs. It also scans the text for tonal inconsistencies. For example: where how-to and reference content have been jumbled up in a single topic.

Dashboards
Dashboards give senior leaders a clear view of what teams are working toward and how close they are to hitting their targets. But technical documentation presents a unique challenge: productivity is easy to measure. Value is harder. Here are some of the dashboards you can build.
Documentation performance dashboard
This dashboard tracks the metrics that actually matter to the business, such as support ticket deflection, content popularity, accuracy rates, and user task completion.
Content lifecycle manager dashboard
This manages content freshness, ownership, and governance compliance. It does this by flagging stale content, inactive owners, and overdue reviews.
Document quality and project management dashboard
This helps teams systematically assess and score documents against key quality criteria, so improvement efforts are focused where they matter most.
Technical documentation ROI calculator
This quantifies the business case for investing in documentation. It factors in deflected support calls, onboarding time savings, and SEO value.
