Pathfinder Meetup Recap Oregon Co-hosted with Nike

We conducted an outstanding Pathfinder Meetup in Oregon, co-hosted at Nike's campus in Beaverton, bringing together automation and AI practitioners for of real-world use case sharing. The event featured two MVPs, a Technical Advisory Council member, customers, partners, leaders, and practitioners. With perspectives spanning production agentic workflows, finance automation, healthcare intake transformation, GenAI-driven collections, and a forward-looking framework for how organizations to progress from RPA to agentic processes, it was a highly productive day.

Micah Smith, Automation Anywhere's VP of Developer Relations and Community set the stage with his presentation on agentic use case identification and the progression from RPA to Process to Agentic Process giving attendees a clear framework for thinking about where their automation journeys are headed and how to identify the right opportunities for agentic transformation.

TAC member Matt Manning and his Nike colleagues Sean Lewis and Justin Manley, shared the team's GenAI-driven Order-to-Cash solution, reducing manual effort and proactively communicating aged AR insights and partner queries to wholesale partners, delivering a 60–65% improvement in collections communications efficiency, faster and more consistent partner engagement, and a fully automated collections process powered by Gen AI. They also took the group through Nike's broader automation journey, from their very first bot to the beginning of their agent framework, including the significant milestone of bringing the Automation Anywhere Control Room into SOX scope.

MVP Jenna Saunders from University of Phoenix brought contagious energy to the room, sharing the agentic workflow that earned her the Automation Anywhere Bounty Challenge win, as well as an orchestration she built combining three automations into a single unified workflow with real impact across University of Phoenix.

Luke Kennan from Intelligent Automation Consultant shared two interesting production use cases. The first was an agentic workflow for healthcare referral intake ingesting unstructured referral packets, classifying every page, extracting clinical and administrative fields, and feeding clean structured data into downstream scheduling and EHR systems with confidence-based human review and full audit lineage. His second use case demonstrated daily unattended bank-to-NetSuite reconciliation across 25 alternative investment funds, converting BAI transaction data into audit-ready NetSuite records with 100% successful production execution and the same governance controls finance teams require at scale.

It was a high value opportunity for everyone who attended , great conversations, real use case stories, and a powerful reminder of how much this community is building and sharing together.
