Practical AI for Documentation

AI and docs — everyone's talking about it, but what does it actually look like in practice? Join Write the Docs Bay Area and GitBook for an evening focused on real, applied workflows: using AI to draft, structure, and maintain documentation, with GitBook demoed live as the publishing platform.

You'll hear how a real docs team runs AI in production, then roll up your sleeves in a hands-on workshop.
