Kill The 40-Page PDF: Building a CX-Ready Knowledge Layer for Agents, Bots, and AI

Your customers and agents are not reading that 40-page PDF. And your AI tools can’t do much with it either. If we want better CX, we have to build content in a way that works for humans and machines: agents, bots, and large language models. This session tells the story of transforming “document-first” knowledge into a modular, CX-ready knowledge layer for a complex support organization. We’ll walk through: • How chaotic PDFs and SharePoint sites were blocking both self-service and agent performance. • The content strategy behind breaking work into reusable “micro-answers” tied to real journeys and intents. • Before-and-after metrics on agent ramp time, handle time, first-contact resolution, and self-service deflection. We’ll share a lightweight content model, governance approach, and measurement framework that content and operations teams can adopt without a massive re-platform.

In this session, attendees will learn:

• How to translate CX and contact center pain points into a practical content strategy.
• A reusable pattern for modular, AI-friendly knowledge that supports agents and bots.
• Ways to prove ROI using before/after metrics on CX and operational performance.
