## AI overview

The article argues that documentation should serve as an interface for AI systems as well as human developers. It says teams are building CLIs and machine-readable endpoints for agents, while documentation is often optimized for human browsing rather than machine parsing. It highlights MCP servers, llms.txt, and structured Markdown as ways AI assistants consume documentation.
