Week 2 is where you go from understanding to building and strategizing. Last week you learned what agentic process automation is and why it matters. This week, you start making things. Check out the introduction to week 2 below, then dive into the trails.

🛠️ Certification Track: Access courses in University

Learning Path 1: Building Automations and Tools for Agents 
This one is foundational. You'll learn how to build the Task Automations and API Tasks that agents actually rely on to get work done, including when to use each one and why it matters for performance and scale.
[Heads up: "Building with Foundational Automations" includes 87 minutes of required content plus 199 minutes of optional content. If you're newer to the platform, the optional lessons are worth your time. If you've been building for a while, you can move through them faster.]
 

Learning Path 2: Building Intelligence Capabilities 
This path is where automation gets smart. By the end, you'll be able to:

  • Explain what Document Automation is and how it fits into the broader Automation Anywhere platform
  • Extract and interpret data from structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents
  • Configure and apply AI Skills to bring LLM intelligence into your workflows
  • Describe how RAG works and why it produces more accurate AI outputs
  • Build RAG-enabled workflows that pull from your organization's own knowledge bases

 

💡 Strategy to Action Track: Access courses in Mission Control

Learning Path: Building a Business Case 
This week is about further establishing your use case idea and turning it into something defensible and executable. You'll learn the AIM Framework, apply it to a real opportunity in your organization, and understand how agentic automation changes the ROI conversation. Your Business Case phase actions are as follows:

  • Getting Familiar with the AIM Framework
  • Learn How Agentic Process Automation Impacts ROI
  • Apply the AIM Framework to Your Program

Hi there,

Is it possible to download the sample invoice files needed for Getting Started with Document Automation somewhere or do we need to wait until next week? Additionally, will copilot be turned on so we can build along with the videos for Getting started with Automation Co-Pilot for Automators

Hi there ​@Lu.Hunnicutt 

Week 1's concepts were very clear regarding the centralized solution's landscape. However, there are two components that Automation Anywhere's sales agents usually mention in their proposals. These components are: Enterprise Knowledge and AI.Solutions — in what part of the centralized architecture, or in what layer, would these components fit, given that they aren't part of the Control Room?

Automation Co-Pilot for Developers has been enabled in the AA-Community (AIAE) control room now.

Hi there ​@Lu.Hunnicutt

These components are: Enterprise Knowledge and AI.Solutions — in what part of the centralized architecture, or in what layer, would these components fit, given that they aren't part of the Control Room?

Great question Paul.

For AI Solutions I assume you are referring to the types of solutions mentioned here: https://www.automationanywhere.com/solutions.

These don’t sit in the control room.  They are fully customized solutions that exist in totality.  There’s no centralized requirement because the components are purpose built.  They don’t scale by design.  They are for organizations with a very specific problem they want solved and aren’t looking for a general purpose platform to solve more.

 

Enterprise Knowledge, on the other hand, still benefits from the same lessons mentioned in those course.  Though it exists in a separate application layer, the same principles apply.  If someone builds a set of flows that solve a specific problem, it might be usable by another person and proper design patterns and internal management will allow reusability instead of rebuilding.  As you proceed through the lessons we introduce concepts surrounding pilots and delivery strategies, and these all equally apply to goal based agents or conversational agents.  

 

Please note: When I mention centralization benefits, I am not ruling out a federated model.  As long as there exists some centralized body to examine enterprise level strategy and consider where commonalities exist, everyone can benefit!

Hi, It is possible to make available the ground truth file from AI Skills: AI Evaluations Hand On?
