Document technical designs, procedures, or activities

Work activity · O*NET

Document technical designs, procedures, or activities is an intermediate work activity in the O*NET database — a concrete task that recurs across many occupations , grouped under Documenting/Recording Information. 54 occupations report doing it as part of their work.

What it involves

The most common detailed activities O*NET records under this category, ranked by how many occupation tasks map to each.

  • Document technical design details
  • Prepare procedural documents
  • Document design or operational test results
  • Document design or development procedures
  • Document network-related activities or tasks
  • Document technical specifications or requirements
  • Document test results

How AI is applied to this activity

Microsoft's "Working with AI" study mapped real Bing Copilot conversations to O*NET work activities. The figures below are their measurements for this activity — they describe how AI is used today in one assistant's data, not a forecast that the activity will be automated.

AI completes it successfully 93.2% When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task
Scope AI handles 42.6% How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation
Positive user feedback 63.9% Share of interactions users rated positively
How often AI is applied here 82nd pct Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them

Source: Microsoft "Working with AI" (working-with-ai). A high completion rate means AI can assist the activity in isolation — it does not mean an occupation that performs it is being automated, since every job blends many activities.
