What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a repeatable system for turning your resolved tickets into KB articles, keeping documentation current, and building the kind of searchable knowledge base that actually reduces ticket volume — instead of the dusty wiki that nobody reads. You'll do your first KB article in 15 minutes.
What you'll need
- A free Claude account at claude.ai
- A few resolved tickets with resolution notes (even rough ones)
- Access to your KB software (Confluence, IT Glue, SharePoint, Notion — any works)
- Time needed: 15 minutes first session; 10 min per KB article thereafter
- Cost: Free (Claude free tier handles KB article length well)
