Is Automation Anywhere Smart or Stupid These Days?

Today I met one of my old colleague who worked at the 'Robotics' department. Interesting I thought, maybe he is doing something with AI or some innovation stuff. So he started talking about what he and his team are doing these days and even showed me. What he showed me was a flashback to me for 10 or 15 or even 20 years back. It looks like Auto IT but it is called Automation Anywhere. He automates steps by clicking through a GUI and with that automating some business processes. Than executes those tasks on a server, which should all be exactly the same otherwise it will fail. So I told him I think we have API's and stuff for this nowadays to 'automate' those task. What do you think, is this still needed in 2025?

treat python scripts as a black box—kick it off, let Python handle the heavy lifting

Hello Community, I’m looking at using Automation Anywhere alongside my Python/PostgreSQL pipeline, but here’s the catch: I’ve got 6 Python scripts (total line of code ~4000) that runs sequential —: Downloads attachments from specific O365 folders (filtered by sender and subject) Converts and reformats them into CSVs Loads that CSV data straight into PostgreSQL Runs queries to pull out insights Builds custom HTML reports Emails each customer their report All the logging, error handling, config, O365 retrieval/send and DB logic lives neatly inside that script. Splitting it up into a ton of tiny AA calls feels like way more work than it’s worth. Ideally, I’d love for Automation Anywhere to just treat my scripts as a black box—kick it off, let Python handle the heavy lifting, and then grab the exit code or logs when it’s done. if it’s possible? if yes, how to make it work, thanks

BOT Metrics

Hi Experts, I'd like to know how BOT Metrics are determined in your environment in every way possible. For instance, in the absence of BOT Insights, what methods do you use to track ROI, BOT failures, missing schedules, scheduling dashboards, etc.? While I'm evaluating it, I wanted to comprehend alternative strategies.

F1 Score

I have seen a question from ​@ChanduMohammad on getting High F1 score. And the answer provided by ​@Matt.Stewart was spot on. After reading this, I have some additional questions. Dataset Size Calibration: How do we identify when a dataset size is "too small" or "too large" for NER tasks, especially in terms of diminishing returns in accuracy? What metrics, aside from F1 score, might indicate an optimal dataset size? Data Preparation Techniques: Are there specific tools or software recommended for automating ground truth labeling in NER datasets? How can ambiguous cases in the labeling process be handled to improve consistency and reduce bias? Dataset Diversity: Is there a way to quantify dataset diversity effectively, and how might this correlate with model performance? For real-world applications, how can we ensure diversity without introducing noise or irrelevant data? Model Evaluation: How do NER models behave when tested on entirely unseen dataset classes? What strategies can be u

Connect to MySQL ver. 5.0.26

Hallo, my current environment is: 1. AAe 360 on-premise build 23186, 2. Bot Agent version: 22.60.0, 3. MySQL DB to connect to: ver. 5.0.26, 4. JDBC drivers used: old ver: 5.0.2 and new ver: 9.2.0, 5. Connection string: jdbc:mysql://10.31.50.10:3306/samochodyzit?user=<PassString>&password=<PassWordString>. Issue description: I'm facing issues with connecting to an MySQL ver. 5.026 database using JDBC driver. When using a new driver ver 9.2.0 i get an error: 'Couldn't connect to data base. CLIENT_PLUGIN_AUTH is required'. When using an old driver ver 5.0.2 i get an error: 'Driver is not loaded! com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver' Screens in the attachment. What could be the solution for this problem? Maybe connection string is incorrect? Why the proper driver (cer. 5.0.2) couldn’t be found despite it’s attached properly from the file in repository? Any suggestions?

Deployment Setting Keeps Changing from RDP to Regular Automatically — Causing Bot Failures

Hi everyone, We’re experiencing an issue in our Control Room where the Deployment Settings for some devices are automatically switching from "RDP" to "Regular". We haven’t made any manual changes, but this setting seems to revert on its own quite frequently. Due to this change, bots that rely on the RDP configuration are failing to execute properly. Why this automatic switch might be happening? Any suggestions to lock or enforce the deployment type to RDP? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

package development: custom color

I'm developing a package using SDK 2.11.0 and noticed that the text_color() and background_color() parameters for @CommandPkg are now deprecated. Is there still a supported way to set custom text and background colors for a package in the current SDK version? Here's what I’ve tried so far, but it doesn’t seem to work: @CommandPkg( name = "BetterComments", label = "[[BetterComments.label]]", node_label = "{{firstString}}", description = "[[BetterComments.description]]", icon = "comment.svg", return_type = DataType.NONE, multiple_returns = {}, text_color = "#3b8f33")
