  With October came the rollout of our newest developer release to the Automation Success Platform: v.30. Hopefully, by now, you and your automation team have had a chance to see, test, and put into action some of the sleek updates and highly requested enhancements. But, in case you've been hunkered down with some of your own pressing developments, Automation Anywhere's resident guru, Micah Smith, ranked his top 5 updates from the .30 developer release. We're here to countdown those picks and share all the details on how valuable they can be to you! #5 - New Homepage Widgets, aka: Updates to the Automation Command CenterThe Automation Command Center is a quick-view dashboard with different views based on your role, meaning the widgets and operational automation details you'll see in your dashboard will be tailored to what's relevant to you! If you're a Developer, your dashboard will summarize information like device status, recent automations you've been working on, and a code analysis from our Code Quality Analyzer. On the other hand, if you're an Automation Leader, the dashboard will act as a roll-up of operational metrics such as licenses, device utilization, automation run hours, and recent successful and failed automations. To learn more about these views and the customization options you have, hit the docs portal for some additional details. #4 - OAuth2 Support for the REST API PackageIf you're unfamiliar, Open Authorization 2 (OAuth2) is a standard protocol that enables third-party applications to access users' data without exposing their credentials. Consider it a valet key for your digital accounts that grants OAuth2 a limited-use "key" to perform specific tasks. With OAuth2, you can ensure your processes are efficient and follow best practices for user authentication and data protection, eliminating the need for automators to have access to or storage for credentials. Once the connections are set up using encrypted tokens, any application-specific package or REST action can have access to this authentication, meaning you don't have to worry about how to map several different fields using credential vault values. You set up the connection once, and then you can select it from a list when building out new automations. Now that's textbook "easy peasy!" Find more details here on how to configure OAuth2. #3 Gen AI Dedicated Command PackageAs of today, this newly released package supports OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic, and Amazon Bedrock. Moving forward, expect that any new generative AI providers that are supported will have their actions added to this package. In case you missed Micah's previous videos on the decoupling of packages from the core platform, we want to highlight that package updates can happen off release-cycle. So don't be surprised if you log in and discover new capabilities available to you. It's also worth mentioning that if a particular generative AI provider is not consistently returning the results you're looking for, we recommend you consider trying one of the other options we have listed here. In our own experience, we've used OpenAI for some things and Google Vertex AI for others. Not all LLMs are made equal, and exploring which ones give you the best, most consistent results is worth exploring! See more details here on how to set up and use the Gen AI Command Package. #2 Automation TemplatesThis feature request came directly from our user community! If you haven't heard us preach the benefits of building automations with consistency, frankly, you've been living under a rock! Error handling, logging, log management, metrics, and even notifications should all be done the same way across every automation you build. Templates are the no-brainer way to accomplish that. To create a template, start by creating a task bot. Then, rather than clicking save, you'll notice a new dropdown selection in the top right corner that enables you to "Save as Template." Before you do this, however, ensure you've created your template task bot in a dedicated templates folder or common folder since you'll likely create more template variations down the road. Once you save your task bot as a template and check it into public, you can then create new task bots leveraging that template. A big win for time savings and development consistency! Bonus: Micah posted a template on our Automation Anywhere GitHub for you to try - view it here and give it a test run! #1 Gen AI-Powered Document AutomationMicah saved the best for last first! This was another solution our community has been asking for, but was unfortunately out of the realm of possibility before generative AI. We're thrilled to report that you can say goodbye to the headache of unstructured documents that have eluded document automation solutions until now. Using our new generative AI-powered Document Automation, you can set up the field you want to capture within an unstructured document and define the question you want answered within the search query box (e.g. what’s the contract date?). The document will then be parsed, and the generative AI model will provide the answer. But that's not all regarding the new document automation benefits in the .30 release! Some additional features include support for out-of-the-box logistics and supply chain document formats such as bills of lading. A game changer for so many of our customers! Hit the link to learn more about combining the power of generative AI with Document Automation. Honorable MentionThis is not technically part of the product release, but it’s a significant update Micah wanted to be sure to call out to our community. That is - the API Documentation on the docs portal has been completely overhauled and improved. We've made it much easier to understand and visualize than ever before. If you've expressed interest in digging into our Control Room API, this is the best way to start and understand exactly how the API works. You can peruse the API documentation to your heart’s content here. Feedback WelcomeDid one of your favorite features make this list? If not, what would you rank as your top 5? We’d love to hear what features were most important to you! Drop us a line and let us know. Your feedback always helps inform how we move forward to provide the best solutions for our community.

You can now harness the full breadth of the Automation Success Platform with the support of AWS, enabling you to accelerate your automation journey. Efficiency at its best: With AI-powered automation, you can streamline complex tasks, reduce manual intervention, and optimize processes. This means improved efficiency, reduced operational costs, and the ability to focus on what truly matters — delivering exceptional customer experiences. Uncover new possibilities: The integration of Automation Anywhere with AWS opens the door to a world of possibilities. It allows you to explore innovative ways to enhance your business operations, from customer service to data analysis, all powered by automation and AI.McKinsey research finds that Automation + Generative AI will unlock 30% of all hours worked by 2030. AWS and Automation Anywhere are helping you realize this potential, faster. A Closer Look: First Integration Project Will Drastically Accelerate Handling TimeTo illustrate the real-world impact of this collaboration, let's take a closer look at the first solution we're actively working on with AWS — an integration with Amazon Connect. Imagine service agents who can seamlessly launch intelligent automation directly within Amazon Connect. This integration bridges external applications and personas, enabling service agents to assist customers more efficiently. Here’s a real-world example:Let’s say an insurance provider that uses AWS receives an email request for an insurance quote. Generative AI can process the unstructured email to extract any information that can be helpful in providing a quote. From there, Automation Co-Pilot can intelligently orchestrate data look-up and retrieval in Salesforce and realtor.com before bringing it all back to Amazon Connect for agent review.  Already the agent has streamlined the process and saved time, but there’s more! After the agent reviews the case, they can initiate a quote generation workflow via Automation Co-Pilot. Data across systems gets updated. Then, Generative AI drafts custom emails. The agent can review, edit, and personalize this email to their liking before sending it to the customer. A complex process was simplified into a few simple steps for the agent, helping them boost efficiency. The customer gets a faster response to their inquiry, improving customer satisfaction. Plus, automation can help ensure compliance with regulatory mandates, giving the organization peace of mind. It’s a win for everyone. The results speak for themselves: 100% average handle time acceleration and streamlined complex case resolution.  This is just the beginningThis new partnership marks a significant step toward a future where automation and generative AI are seamlessly integrated into business operations. It empowers businesses to drive efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and explore new horizons of innovation. We look forward to developing targeted, industry-specific solutions that will completely transform the way companies work across their organization. As we embark on this exciting journey, we encourage you to explore our solutions on the AWS Marketplace. The possibilities are endless, and together with AWS and Automation Anywhere, you can be at the forefront of this transformative wave.

Next-generation intelligent automation is rapidly becoming synonymous with generative AI. The value of integrating generative AI into the core capabilities of automation architecture is becoming invaluable to automation programs across the globe. However, as with any emerging technology, smart automators are being careful, methodical, and intentional about gradually and responsibly integrating generative AI to ensure ongoing security compliance, auditability, and maintainability within their organizations.To offer our customers a reliable first step in their journey to integrate automation and generative AI, we have carefully curated three sets of quick-start solutions that will help drive transformative business impact via employee productivity, customer service, and complex document automation. Today, we want to focus on the leading operational area for improvement across industries: customer service.Customer service is the heart of customer experience and success. However, the complexity of orchestrating customer solutions across multiple systems is the crux of customer dissatisfaction. According to the latest Customer Management Practice report, agents spend nearly 70% of the case time gathering information from multiple systems (on average, five different systems!) before resolving the tickets, resulting in a frustrating and substandard average handle time (AHT) for both customers and agents.Before now, the context, semantics, and priority-level of inquiries could not be understood and addressed effectively with existing technology. Now, with Automation Anywhere, automators can responsibly leverage this new technology to accelerate agent productivity and improve customer experience. With the Customer Service Solution Pack, an agent can initiate an AI-powered workflow inside their core work application, such as ServiceNow, SAP, Workday, and more, and streamline their end-to-end process, resulting in a faster resolution, happier customer, and happier employee.IT Help Desk ScenarioLet us take you through an IT Help Desk L1 triage scenario to demonstrate how masterfully this solution package can optimize a customer service process.The as-is manual process requires an agent to sift through multiple complaint tickets and support requests in an inbox. The tickets could run the gamut of cases—from hardware or software issues to unique problems outside of what’s readily available in an organization’s knowledge base. All that to say, it’s an extremely time-consuming process for an agent to decipher each ticket, determine the next steps, reference other systems to find a resolution, record the resolution in the ITSM, and finally respond to the customer. Instead, here is how the Customer Service Solution Package cuts a 24-hour process down to less than 5 minutes:Automation Co-Pilot is embedded into the agent’s primary work application, which for this demo is ServiceNow. The agent will start by initiating an AI-powered ticket processing automation in ServiceNow. Generative AI, in this case, we’re using VertexAI, can translate languages and parse text before handing off the inquiries to an automation. Automation Co-Pilot then sorts the inquiries and delivers them to the agent for review. The agent reviews the inquiries and makes decisions via Co-Pilot embedded in ServiceNow, and the automation updates records and data across systems. Finally, generative AI drafts custom response emails to the customers using additional historical customer data. The gen AI can also collate multiple tickets and resolutions from the same customer into one email response. The agent reviews the email and can change the language, tone, etc, before sending off.Another bonus of using this package is in-depth bot insight reporting. You can understand typical cases by category, language, and more. So much customer service intelligence can be derived in your dashboard!Here are results we’ve observed from customers utilizing this solution package:100% reduction in AHT 100% data accuracy Three times increase in ticket processing capacitySuperior service, accuracy, and ability to scale are the exact wins we want to deliver to our customers! Get Started With This Solution TodayThe Customer Service, Employee Productivity, and Complex Document Automation solution packs are available to download now! Once you download a solution package, you can import the source code into your Control Room to provide your automations with the framework to complete these solutions. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance with each package, and you can access community support through Pathfinder, as well as our A+ accelerator service. We also formed a dedicated Gen AI community, which you can join and get connected to our extended network of global automation experts for additional support.Have more questions?

During our Q3 User Groups meetings, we announced the launch and availability of Quick-Start Solution Packages. If you haven’t heard about these fantastic, AI-infused tools, here’s what you need to know.Quick-Start Solution Packages, aka Solution Packs, are designed to help you leverage generative AI capabilities in content creation, summarization, and natural language comprehension. Each package includes a set of resources to get you up and running in no time, including pre-configured workflow templates, a solution sandbox, recorded demos, and developer kits.Currently, we’ve developed three tailored solution packs that, based on customer engagement and industry research, address the prime pain areas for organizations across every industry—employee productivity, customer service, and complex document processing. Let’s take a closer look at how each quick-start solution pack can alleviate your tedious tasks and bottlenecks.1. Employee Productivity Solution PackA Harvard Business Review study reported that, because of the increasing complexity of digital work environments, employees spend an average of 9% of their annual time at work swiveling between applications to complete basic tasks. So, it’s no surprise that many customers ask us for tools to optimize and simplify their employees’ work experience, save time on their daily tasks, and democratize automation by leveraging generative AI technology in a safe, controlled manner. With the Employee Productivity Solution Pack, you can give your entire workforce access to automation with generative AI responsibly. We envision this solution pack assisting with common use cases such as internal reporting, time-off requests, help desk requests, work orders, expense reporting, and so much more. Because Automation Co-Pilot embeds directly into web and collaboration apps, your employees can benefit from this pre-configured workflow operating in their primary application to expedite these kinds of daily tasks.2. Customer ServiceAccording to a McKinsey study, customer service is the leading area for operational improvement, with an estimated 40% productivity gain to be captured if an organization implements generative AI. Naturally, we saw a tremendous opportunity for automation + generative AI to drive significant impact in customer service. So, we designed a quick-start solution package to align with use cases encountered by L1 service triage, customer service desks, and customer support. With the Customer Service Solution Pack, an agent can initiate an AI-powered workflow inside their core work application, such as ServiceNow, and streamline their process, resulting in a happier customer and happier employee. Imagine a 100% reduction in average handle time, 100% data accuracy, and three times capacity increase in ticket processing—you can achieve just that with this quick-start solution pack.3. Complex Document ProcessingWith the Complex Document Processing Solution Pack, we have combined generative AI with our innovative Document Automation to help you tackle, as the name alludes, use cases involving complex documents that contain unstructured and semi-structured data. Now, you can quickly extract and process data from contracts, waybills, explanations of benefits, credit reports, bank statements, and more. With applications across every industry, you can leverage this quick-start solution pack to process documents faster, with more accuracy (100% to be exact), and alleviate manual bottlenecks to transform your work into end-to-end process automations.How to get started with a solution packThese are not just concepts! These three solution packs are available to download now! Once you download a solution package, you can import the source code into your Control Room to provide your automations with the framework to complete these solutions. You’ll also receive step-by-step guidance with each package to configure the solutions in your own environment, understand the available API call steps, etc. And finally, you can access community support through Pathfinder, as well as our A+ accelerator service. We also formed a dedicated Gen AI community, which you can join and get connected to our extended network of global automation experts.Best of all, these solution packs are free. So with no cost and a quick implementation, what’s to stop you from streamlining your automations, improving employee experience, and exploring the benefits of generative AI?By the way—we’ve integrated generative AI into a suite of innovative tools on the Automation Success Platform to power-up your intelligent automation efforts even more.

 In case you’re not familiar, Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users is an automation assistant that embeds into any application (think Salesforce, SAP, Workday, etc.) and can action across any model, system, and team, so users can efficiently leverage automation assistance right in their normal flow of work.Now, we’ve given Automation Co-Pilot a major upgrade with AI-powered technology to accelerate team productivity even more by enabling them to action any generative AI use case across any system, from creating and summarizing content to sending emails and providing recommendations. Ease The Manual Workload in HealthcareFor the healthcare industry in particular, administrative work is a massive burden for providers and one of many factors that drive healthcare costs so high. With the new Automation Co-Pilot AI abilities, healthcare organizations can streamline many administrative processes, from data processing and entry, to clinical decision support, to patient instruction and engagement. In fact, we’ve observed a 55% increase in productivity from organizations across various industries who have leveraged this new AI upgrade. Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users in HealthcareLet’s dive into a quick use case example to demonstrate how healthcare organizations can use Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users to generate after-visit summaries with generative AI, saving physicians hours of time.A doctor regularly has to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours drafting an after-visit summary for each and every patient they see on a given day. Doctors and their staff can reclaim that time by embedding Automation Co-Pilot directly into their existing electronic health record (EHR) system and running an automation in these simple steps:The doctor goes into their EHR system and launches the Automation Co-Pilot to create an after-visit summary. Automation Co-Pilot retrieves pertinent patient information from a range of sources, including lab results, diagnoses, and medications from numerous hospital systems and applications, and brings them into the EHR. With the power of generative AI, it is even able to extract complex data from unstructured documents, such as lab results reports, while also keeping a human-in-the-loop to handle and validate any exceptions. After all data is imported and populated into an after-visit summary, the doctor simply needs to review the summary and can easily add in their final recommendations to the patient for any follow-up matters. Automation Co-Pilot can then automatically upload this summary to the patient portal and send any prescriptions to the pharmacy on file.Automation Co-Pilot also serves as a built-in guardrail to remove any personal health information (PHI) data to ensure responsible use of this technology and support adherence to healthcare regulations. Put Automation Co-Pilot to Work for YouPutting AI in the hands of business users enables healthcare providers and employees to further automate tedious manual work that didn’t seem automatable before, saving valuable time and improving patient care.
