BYOM

When your team integrates a self-hosted model into your existing toolchain, the setup process rarely happens in silence. Engineers walk through configuration steps on calls, security reviews get discussed in recorded meetings, and onboarding sessions cover how your specific model endpoints connect to downstream systems. That institutional knowledge lives in those recordings — until someone needs it six months later.

The challenge with video-only documentation for BYOM workflows is that model configurations change. Endpoint URLs get updated, authentication methods rotate, and the reasoning behind specific architectural decisions fades quickly when it's buried in a 90-minute onboarding recording. New team members can't search a video for "how we handle token limits" or "why we chose this inference endpoint over the default."

Converting those recordings into structured, searchable documentation means your BYOM setup — the connection logic, the security considerations, the model-specific parameters your team settled on — becomes something anyone can reference, update, and version alongside your actual configuration files. For example, when a new engineer needs to understand why your team routes certain request types to your self-hosted model instead of a platform default, they can find that decision documented directly rather than scrubbing through recordings.
