In 2026, technical writing practices will become truly AI-native. Technical writers will reengineer their current workflows to let AI handle repetitive tasks while they focus on content accuracy and quality.
With the rise of AI agents and the Model Context Protocol, documentation will evolve from static articles into dynamic, task-oriented assistance that helps users accomplish goals. This shift will elevate the role of technical communicators from content producers to system designers who shape intelligent knowledge experiences.
