# How can a software team use AI to keep API documentation in step with the code, so partners and developers are not working from outdated docs?

Start from your API definitions, recent code changes, release notes, existing docs and the questions developers ask support. AI can compare each change with the docs, draft updated descriptions, examples and error explanations, and flag endpoints with missing examples, unclear parameters or no documented errors. An engineer checks every change against the real API, and nothing is published until it is reviewed.

## What this means in practice

- Use API definitions, recent code changes, release notes and existing docs as the source
- Compare each change with the docs and draft updated descriptions and examples
- Explain errors and limits in plain language using real responses
- Flag endpoints with missing examples, unclear parameters or undocumented errors
- An engineer checks every change against the real API before it is published

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
