Build Self-Service Content Ideas: Turn Repeated Questions Into Scalable Help Resources

TL;DR: What this template does

This template helps you identify content gaps in your self-service experience by analyzing common support questions.
Upload transcripts or logs, and get a quote-backed list of content ideas your customers are already asking for.

Why self-service starts with listening

If your users keep asking the same questions, your help docs aren’t helping.

This template helps you build the articles, videos, and flows that deflect tickets and delight users.

Definition: Self-service content ideas are derived from high-frequency customer questions, blockers, or confusion points — extracted directly from your support conversations.

How does this template work?

Step 1: Upload Common Support Questions
  • Use chat logs, FAQs, tickets, or inbound support transcripts
  • Accepts text, audio, or video
  • Best with 10–15 days of volume across major channels
Step 2: Extract Themes — Content & Communications
  • AI clusters repetitive questions by topic
  • Tags urgency, frequency, and confusion levels
  • Highlights where current help content is missing or unclear
Step 3: Output — Self-Service Content Idea List
  • Quote-backed article/video topic suggestions
  • Grouped by product area, intent, and urgency
  • Downloadable for docs, marketing, or CX content teams
