Auto-flag Help Center articles that go stale when we ship product updates, and suggest the edits needed. This would keep Fin's answers accurate and the knowledge base updated without manual audits/new fin guidance every release.

How it would work: we input release notes into Intercom; Intercom surfaces impacted articles and highlights recommendations for sections needing edits and/or net new content.

Example Scenario: A feature is changed or removed in our product UI. We paste/upload release notes. Intercom surfaces the exact articles impacted and highlights the recommended edits or new articles. It also ensures that Fin is not surfacing old conversation answers that used to be true in the past. This reduces the risk of outdated content and keeps self-serve accurate.

Why it matters: Reduces outdated self-serve content, improves Fin resolution rates (meaning more $ across all customers using fin), and scales KB maintenance as release velocity increases. I imagine even Intercom could leverage this internally for their own knowledge base.

This update would be super impactful and reduce our time manually locating existing articles that require edits due to a product release.

Hi Audrey — I found your post while researching how knowledge teams handle product releases. Your point about manually finding all affected Help Center articles is exactly the workflow I’m trying to understand. I’m not selling anything — just doing research.

Could I ask you 3 quick questions?

  1. How does your team currently identify which articles or Fin knowledge need updating after a release?
  2. Roughly how much time is spent just finding the affected content before editing starts?
  3. What usually happens when something gets missed?

​@Audrey Ware You probably already know this, but you can use Operator for this now! From the help article:

Paste in a product update or policy change and Fin Operator finds every affected article across your help center, internal knowledge base, and all locales
