Some articles should not be feeding your AI agent. Knowing which is as valuable as writing new ones.

What to keep away

Outdated articles

An AI quoting a retired procedure states it with full confidence. A human reader would notice the screenshot looks old; an AI has no such instinct. Archive them.

Internal procedures

Escalation thresholds, when to offer a refund, what to say about a competitor. An AI agent with access to those can repeat them to a customer.

Anything conditional and unstated

Articles that are true for some customers and not others, without saying which. An AI will apply them to everyone.

Edge cases and exceptions

An article about a rare situation can be surfaced for a common one. Where an exception is genuinely rare, being explicit in the article about when it applies matters more than usual.

How to control it

Visibility does most of the work: an AI agent for customers uses what customers can see. So internal articles are excluded by being internal, which is another reason to get visibility right.

Beyond that, archiving what is out of date is the single most effective thing you can do.

Audit by asking

Ask your AI agent the questions you would rather it got right, and read what it says. Wrong answers point at the article behind them, and that article is either wrong, old, or should not be in scope.
