UG Expert AJ Ansari walks through different ways that Business Central users can apply AI tools to create documentation for Business Central extensions.
Key Takeaways
- Code review: There are various AI tools that users can take advantage of for reviewing and understanding the code. AI can be used to generate descriptions of the code’s functionality. It’s important to create reusable documentation in Markdown format, which is recognized as the native format for AI tools.
- Generating and viewing documentation: AJ demonstrates by prompting the AI tools to create a Markdown document from the code. He explains how to review it, viewing it in a user-friendly format. AI can be prompted to provide more information about the setup and configuration of business entities
- User manuals: Creating a user manual was another prompt that AJ used to demonstrate how to use AI tools. After he set the parameters, the AI created the manual. He then reviewed it, pointing out that it included a quick start section and detailed user procedures.
- Technical design overview: One final use case was using AI to create a technical design overview. AJ prompted it to list existing and new objects, posting flows, and general flows. He displayed the document created by AI and reviewed the specific features it included.
