Challenge #3 - Automation Resiliency
We're excited to present the third and final challenge of Bot Games Season 4. Our aim in this challenge is to showcase how a Generative AI model can enhance automation resilience. When target applications are updated, the object paths for elements may change, requiring updates to the corresponding automations. By utilizing a Generative AI provider like ChatGPT (or any other provider of your choosing), we can input the source code of a web page and request object paths for all the necessary elements. These paths can then be used to automate interactions with the web page.
OpenAI Generative AI package is available in Bot Store and you can read the included documentation or check out our quickstart video showing the full setup process. If you are using your own enterprise version of Control Room, you can download the OpenAI Generative AI package from the Bot Store and import it. If you are using the Community edition, it is already pre-loaded.
Challenge Objective
A financial services company called Spacely wants to add details of its corporate customers to a new Saas-based customer relationship management system (CRM). Because it's an application they subscribe to and don't own, updates to the application can come without warning - make automating data entry challenging.
Download the spreadsheet from the challenge page and enter each customer's information. Click 'Add' after entering each customer's details to commit them to the CRM and 'Submit' once all customers have been entered. Be careful, sometimes their CRM intake interface changes without warning!
Note: Like experimenting with any emerging technology, you may encounter a few things that feel wonky in these Generative AI challenges. Part of the "challenge" in this case is learning how to effectively roll with it, write better prompts, and solve interesting problems using the newest and best of AI + automation.
Rules
Use Generative AI to keep your automation running! Identify the object path for each element as changes to the application occur to ensure your automation can continue entering the corresponding data.

Conclusion
Generative AI can play a crucial role in improving automation resiliency by identifying new object paths for elements in a webpage whenever there is an application update. This can be achieved by sharing the webpage source code and asking the model to recognize and identify the object path for different webpage elements such as buttons, links, forms, etc. By automating this process, Generative AI can help ensure that the automations continue to function as intended, even in the face of application updates that might otherwise cause them to fail.
As AI technology improves, we will see more ways to use Generative AI to improve our work. This can help us do things faster, make things easier, and be more productive.
