Overview
Existing help centers accumulate large amounts of repetitive, outdated text that can be improved quickly once the source facts are controlled — auditing what's duplicated or stale (Notion AI, Zendesk data), then rewriting with ChatGPT or Claude working from the existing article as the source of truth. Sold as project plus retainer to SaaS and ecommerce companies whose help center has gone stale enough to hurt support-ticket deflection.
Why it works
Existing help centers contain large amounts of repetitive text that can be improved quickly when the source facts are controlled.
How it makes money
Project + retainer
How to start
- Pick one help-center platform (Zendesk or similar) so the audit tools and export format are known upfront.
- Audit 30-50 existing articles for accuracy, duplication and whether anyone still reads them.
- Identify outdated and duplicate pages specifically — these are what erode trust in a help center fastest.
- Build a content taxonomy so the rewritten center has a logical structure, not just cleaner prose.
- Draft improvements with ChatGPT or Claude, working from the existing article as the source of truth.
- Human-review every product fact — an AI can rewrite tone but cannot verify a feature still works that way.
- Rewrite for clarity, cutting jargon and matching the reading level of an actual customer.
- Add missing articles for common support tickets that currently have no self-serve answer.
- Publish in batches so the client can review before the whole center changes at once.
- Track support-ticket deflection to prove the refresh actually reduced ticket volume.
- Maintain the center monthly as the product changes.
