Is Stale Docs Finder free?

The setup guide and prompt are free. You need a paid plan on the AI you set it up in, such as ChatGPT Plus, an eligible Grok plan or Google AI Pro.

Does it fix the pages?

No. It lists every page it read and proposes a review queue with a reason for each page. A product expert confirms the current facts, and the documentation owner assigns reviewers and approves changes.

Where does it read the docs from?

Grok and Gemini read up to ten files in one Google Drive folder and change notes under a Gmail label. A ChatGPT dot reads the folder and a Slack channel. In ChatGPT Work you paste the pages and change notes yourself.

Can it read Confluence or Notion?

Not directly. The connected versions read Google Drive with Gmail or Slack. In ChatGPT Work you paste copied pages, so they can come from any tool.

Can it check every week on its own?

Yes, if you choose Weekly. It becomes a routine in Grok, a recurring task for a ChatGPT dot and a schedule in Gemini, which also offers Monthly. The ChatGPT Work version runs each time you paste a new packet.

Stale Docs Finder

Find documentation that needs an owner review

Stale Docs Finder is an AI agent you set up in the ChatGPT, Grok, ChatGPT dot or Gemini you already pay for. When you ask, or weekly if you schedule it, it compares up to ten documentation pages with your dated change notes and proposes a review queue that shows which pages need a factual check or an owner, and why.

How it works

What it does for you, and what it leaves to you.

Technical documentation spreads across tools and versions. After product changes or a colleague leaves, writers spend time finding current pages and deciding who should review them.

Compare wording across pages and change notes while keeping an audit trail. This may make a manual review easier; it cannot establish ownership or verify the running product. Named owners, review dates and a maintained page index are the main control. A spreadsheet is enough for a small stable documentation set. An assistant is a proposed aid for comparing varied prose, not a replacement for that process.

You stay in charge. A product expert confirms which facts are current. A manager or documentation owner assigns responsibility and approves changes.

The review queue it proposes

The example above, in words.

D1 needs factual review against N1 and an owner update; Sam is a proposed reviewer from O1. D3 depends on D1 and needs an owner. D2 describes v1, so N1 does not make its navigation wrong or prove it duplicates D1. Other accuracy remains unchecked.

Settings

The setup prompt starts with the defaults, marked here.

Documentation folder

Type the Google Drive folder that holds up to ten documentation files to review. This site does not read your Drive.

Default: Product docs

Gmail label for change notes

Type the Gmail label where dated, approved product change notes arrive. This site does not read your labels.

Default: Release notes

Queue order

Choose how the assistant organizes the result; evidence and review rules stay the same.

Reader impact first (default)
Missing ownership first

Schedule

Weekly suits a regular release cycle. When I ask creates no routine.

When I ask (default)
Weekly

Your working rules

Your ownership map, approved source hierarchy and review interval. An unassigned page must stay unassigned until a person decides.

Optional. Empty unless you fill it in.

Check the first result

Each setup page has a fictional exercise to paste first. A good answer to it meets all of these.

D3 has an unassigned owner and a dependency on D1. Missing migration requirements stay unknown.
Every finding has a document ID and source reference; no page is changed or certified correct.
