Week 3 session was very informative and valuable. One of the most useful aspects was understanding how to identify the right automation solution for different business scenarios.

Learning when to use Document Automation, AI Skills, Task Bots, or Cloud APIs is extremely important because the success of an automation project depends heavily on selecting the appropriate tool from the beginning.

Having a clear understanding of which tool to use, when to use it, and in what scenario it is most effective helps in designing efficient and scalable automation solutions. It also reduces complexity, prevents interruptions during project execution, and makes the overall automation development process smoother and more reliable.

This knowledge is highly beneficial for anyone starting an automation project, as it enables better decision-making and contributes to successful project delivery.

@Patel Brijeshkumar Thank you, Patel, for your feedback. 

Now that you understand how important using the right tool for the job is, the next thing to understand is why we use AI Agents. I wrote a blog post that will be made public in a short while, but let me give you some important points:

  • AI Agents should be able to choose the tools used autonomously. If you strictly narrate the order of use of the tools available to the AI Agent, it is not autonomous. It’s following your strict instructions… which is exactly like writing your automation using a Mozart Orchestrator Process.
     
  • AI Agents shouldn’t have much in the way of conditional statements. If you’re strictly adding “if this then that” within your Action Plan, you probably should be doing those comparisons in a tool. LLMs are known to “hallucinate” when it doesn’t fully understand the question, and a great way to confuse an LLM is to put extensive logic in the prompt.
     
  • An AI Agent needs multiple tools available. If you have fewer than 2 tools available to the AI Agent, the AI Agent isn’t really making a choice -- it’s using the only tool (or lack thereof!) at its disposal. 
     

In short, if your AI Agent’s Action Plan could be coded into a Process, it’s not truly agentic nor autonomous. The inclusion of AI into an automation doesn’t automatically make it agentic.
