What is HelpXplain?

Technical documentation often requires multi-step processes, which can become overwhelming when utilizing bullet lists alongside images and additional text. This complexity can cause readers to lose focus on the main points being conveyed. To facilitate understanding, we utilize a tool known as Xplain, which consists of a series of slides that can be creatively arranged on a spacious canvas to inspire innovation. HelpXplain serves as a valuable resource for seamlessly integrating slideshows into web pages or technical documents. With this tool, you can quickly generate animated tutorials and concise instructions in mere minutes instead of spending hours on them. HelpXplain also features the capability to create animated screenshots that can be modified or swapped out effortlessly whenever needed. Additionally, it allows for the recording of multi-page screencasts of applications that play in autoplay mode, similar to traditional video formats, making it a simpler option for recording and editing compared to video production. Furthermore, all Xplains produced are compliant with HTML5 and Javascript standards, ensuring compatibility and ease of use. This allows technical writers to present information in a more engaging and visually appealing manner, enhancing the overall learning experience for users.

What is Author-it?

If your team is maintaining the same content across multiple documents, reformatting outputs by hand, or sending the same paragraphs back to translators every release cycle - you're paying the hidden cost of unstructured content management. Author-it solves this at the source. It's an enterprise CCMS (Component Content Management System) with over 25 years of proven deployment in industries where accuracy, compliance, and scale aren't negotiable: manufacturing, software and technology, utilities, medical devices, aerospace and defence, financial services, and government. The platform centres on a single Library - a relational content database where Topics (content components) are assembled into Books (deliverables) and published to any format from one source. Update one Topic, and every Book containing it reflects the change. No manual updates. No version drift. No missing the footnote that just changed your liability exposure. Key capabilities include structured authoring without DITA or XML expertise, component-level content reuse (customers regularly hit 60–90% reuse rates), built-in translation workflow with XLIFF export and intelligent change-tracking to reduce translator word counts, multi-stage Review & Approve with compliance audit trails, variant and conditional content for multi-product and multi-market publishing, and output to HTML5, PDF, Word, SCORM, XML, DITA, and AION. AION is Author-it's structured JSON publishing format - designed for direct ingestion by LLMs and RAG pipelines. It mirrors the full content hierarchy: books, sub-books, topics, metadata, resolved variables. This is what makes Author-it an AI Content Foundation, not just a content management tool. Your existing structured content becomes queryable, retrievable, and AI-ready without any additional transformation layer. Deployment is cloud SaaS. Implementation is services-led, with expert information architecture guidance included. Contact us @ author-it.com
