Stop wasting time on documentation that doesn’t work

Your documentation should reduce support demand, speed up onboarding, and give people and AI systems reliable answers. A lot doesn’t. We can fix that.

  • 80% of decision-makers review documentation before buying (State of Docs 2026)
  • 40–60% reduction in support tickets from a well-structured knowledge base (industry average)
  • 40%+ of documentation page views are now from AI agents, not humans (GitBook, 2025)

Cherryleaf creates documentation, procedures, and AI-ready content that helps people get answers without asking for help

Cherryleaf’s technical writing services include API and developer docs, online help, knowledge bases, and AI-aware documentation workflows. Our procedures writing services include policies, procedures, and training/onboarding guides.

We know it’s hard to keep complex information clear, accurate, and up to date. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years. Our Technical Authors, Content Engineers and Procedures Writers know what good looks like, and they know what it takes to get there.

Not sure where your documentation is failing you?

Documentation debt accumulates silently: in outdated articles, missing coverage, inconsistent guidance, and content your AI tools can’t reliably use.

Cherryleaf’s Documentation Debt Audit identifies the highest-cost problems and tells you what to fix first.

What's your documentation problem costing you?

Compliance and risk exposure

Under-documented processes are a regulatory risk, not just an inconvenience. For example, the EU AI Act requires technical documentation for AI systems before market launch.

Developer drop-off

Developers abandon APIs they can’t understand in the first session. Every hour of unclear documentation is an hour your competitors are gaining ground.

Support overload

When users can’t find answers, they open tickets. A knowledge base that deflects even a fraction of Tier 1 queries saves real money, and a 40–60% reduction is achievable with the right structure.

AI that hallucinates

Your AI assistant, chatbot, or internal tool is only as accurate as the content it’s trained on. If your knowledge base is outdated or unstructured, your AI will be too.

Onboarding drag

Every new hire, new customer, and new developer who has to ask someone for help is a sign that your documentation isn’t working hard enough.

Modern documentation capabilities

We can help with:

  • API documentation and developer portals
  • Docs-as-code workflows using Git and Markdown
  • Structured authoring  and content reuse
  • Documentation for cloud, SaaS, cybersecurity, AI, data, and technical products

  • Policies and procedures
  • Documentation audits, governance, and lifecycle management
  • AI-assisted documentation processes and AI-ready content

Using Generative AI in technical writing training course – Diana Lakatos

I chose this course because it promised exactly what I was looking for: insights into how AI can support many different stages of the documentation workflow. I wanted to gather more ideas, discover new tools, and see practical examples of AI in action — and this course delivered exactly what I was hoping for.

Some of my main takeaways:
– Exposure to a wide range of AI tools for technical communication
– Proof-of-concept demonstrations that inspired new ways of working
– A fascinating look at Google Opal and its automation potential
– A reminder of how creative and flexible prompt design can be

It was also great to know that the course is accredited by the ISTC – Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators, which makes it a valuable credential for technical communicators. Many thanks to Ellis Pratt and the Cherryleaf team for creating such a practical, forward-looking program.

Using Generative AI in technical writing training course – Kerry Williams

The course offered practical insights and techniques to make my writing sharper, more concise and more readable. It feels great to freshen up my skills and explore how AI is reshaping the world of technical communication. AI isn’t replacing technical writers (yet!), but it is changing how we work; the advantage lies in knowing when, and how, to use it effectively.

Who we work with

Cherryleaf helps:

  • Customer success and support leaders whose teams are answering the same questions over and over, because the knowledge base isn’t working.
  • Operations and HR teams whose policies and procedures are out of date, hard to find, and can’t be reliably used by AI assistants.
  • Documentation managers under pressure to adopt AI, upskill their team, and prove the value of docs to leadership, all at once.
  • Software and AI product teams who need technical documentation for EU AI Act compliance before the deadline.
  • Companies hiring technical authors, API documentation writers, documentation engineers, content designers, and documentation managers.
  • Technical Authors/Technical Writers who want to develop their skills.

Not sure where to start?

Most documentation problems fall into one of four categories: outdated content, poor structure, lack of AI readiness, or missing coverage.
