In today’s technologically driven world there is a constant search for innovative solutions to simplify the creation of work instructions – those crucial manuals that provide step-by-step instructions for field workers. The AI team at resco.Labs has taken up this challenge head-on. Read how we are working on implementing AI to resco.Guides, enabling users to effortlessly generate comprehensive guides directly based on the user’s instructions.
resco.Guides serves as a practical tool for gathering and maintaining knowledge, enabling employees to access work instructions seamlessly and standardize processes. As a reliable helping hand, it empowers users with the information they need at their fingertips.
While the creation process still requires some manual work, a dedicated AI team within resco.Labs has been actively exploring the advancements in AI technology. This has led to an idea for simplifying the process of creating work instruction guides just by leveraging user descriptions.
We talked to Matej Končal, developer, about the process of implementing AI within resco.Guides for the generation of work instructions and benefits that comes with it.
In this article, you will find out:
- more about the idea of generating guides with AI
- how it works
- the benefits of AI generated digital guides
- what’s next
Simplifying work instructions
The idea to implement AI into resco.Guides, freeing our customers from the manual creation of work instructions, began during brainstorming sessions by the AI team at resco.Labs. This initiative aims to drive the process to the next level and transform the way work instructions are generated.
Currently, if a user wants to create a work instruction guide, there are several manual steps that must be followed. However, there is a way to skip these manual steps by integrating AI with resco.Guides. This can limit many human errors, easily standardize the form of work instructions, and more importantly, it saves a significant amount of time for users, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks.
How AI generates work instruction guides
Thanks to this idea, users no longer have to think about how to structure clear and easy-to-understand instructions.
Let’s have a look at how it will appear in practice and generate a guide for the Lockout-Tagout process, a safety method used to ensure that the hazardous equipment is correctly shut off.
Users simply need to click a single button and provide a description of the information they want the guide to contain. In this case, we are simply requesting a Lockout-Tagout guide consisting of five steps.
In response, a draft guide is automatically generated, providing a solid foundation.
Users can then make additional edits, tailoring the guide to their specific needs. This approach empowers users to create an outline in their own words, freeing them from the limitations of standardized structures and supporting a more personalized and flexible guide creation process.
How is this possible? The foundation lies in the way our guides are stored in a JSON database structure, which allows for flexibility and easy manipulation of the data. Leveraging the power of OpenAI, our AI team is working hard to implement its API, making it an ideal tool for our guide creation process.
Beyond just user input, this system goes a step further by tapping into ChatGPT’s own extensive knowledge base. This knowledge base acts as a valuable resource, providing plenty of information that the system can draw upon. By accessing this knowledge base, the system can leverage its own “creativity” and generate helpful suggestions.
Combining user input with ChatGPT’s own knowledge allows for a more comprehensive and insightful guide creation process. The system not only considers the user’s specific instructions but also includes its own understanding and context, resulting in more accurate and valuable suggestions.
This interaction between user input and the ChatGPT’s knowledge base improves the overall guide creation experience, ensuring that the generated guides are informative and tailored to meet the user’s needs.
More ideas on the way
Powered by AI, resco.Guides saves time, simplifies the creation process, and collaborates with intelligent suggestions. But that’s not all. There is more to look forward to. The resco.Labs AI team is continuously exploring additional ways to integrate OpenAI into our products, aiming to further improve customer experiences and simplify their lives.
