Stop searching and start asking – Using Cadmatic AI for instant answers to documentation questions

For years, we’ve relied on traditional search tools to navigate technical documentation. They helped narrow down massive manuals into lists of results. But the burden was still on you to figure it out from there.

With AI built into documentation, you no longer need to scan and dig for answers. Now, you can skip the scanning and go straight to the answer. Our new Cadmatic AI gives you instant and accurate contextual responses inside the documentation. Instead of listing links, it gives you a clear, usable answer. And if you want more context, the links are still there.

Why this is a big deal

Traditional documentation tools work best for power users, the ones who know the right keywords and where to look. But if you’re not 100% sure how something’s labeled or structured, searching becomes guesswork. This slows you down and breaks focus.

Cadmatic AI removes these barriers. It helps every user, regardless of experience, get what they need faster, with less friction. It’s built into our official, verified documentation and constantly refined to improve accuracy. What’s best is that it’s not here to replace expertise. It’s here to support you and give you the clarity to move forward, confidently.
