I've bet you've seen it everywhere: "your docs need to be readable for agents." Agents, agents, agents, cue the Brady Bunch theme. Everyone is talking about agents taking technical writing jobs, AI this, AI that. But where are the actual solutions? The technical writing industry has changed. We can no longer write exclusively for a human audience, someone who reads carefully, asks follow-up questions, and fills in gaps with context and common sense. Our docs now have a second audience.
