Co-Pilot for Automators is an on-demand, intelligent automation assistant. Developers can accelerate building automation by describing goals in natural language for Co-Pilot for Automators to create and update their automation.
Co-Pilot for Automators is embedded directly within the Automation Workspace. The user can build enterprise-level automation with an interactive instruction-based conversation using Co-Pilot. It is non-intrusive, allowing developers to continue building or editing automation without interference while helping accelerate building automation. This provides users with the flexibility to decide when and how to use this feature.
- embedded conversational experience for building automation with natural language
- ensures low-learning curve for quick adoption
- built-in guardrails with enterprise-tuned AI models that only allow Automation 360 tasks
Leveraging capabilities
Developers can overcome common challenges and expedite development by leveraging Co-Pilot for Automators when and where support is most impactful. Co-Pilot for Automators can assist in selecting and sequencing automation tasks and actions to reach development goals. With Co-Pilot for Automators, developers simply need to describe the automation scenario with a set of instructions for necessary elements or actions to be added in proper order. Consider the following areas where Co-Pilot for Automators is highly impactful.
- Create the complete automation or select and edit part of the process.
- Add a new task (Process, Bot, Form, API, Approval) to the end, or a selected location, of the process and map dependencies.
- Add a learning instance from Document Automation to the end of the process. Support for learning instance in process task
- Set the conditions of dependencies.
- Update one or multiple supported properties of an existing node.
- Create the complete automation or select and edit a part of the bot.
- Add a new action to a selected location of the automation. When adding an action, variables for mandatory attributes are automatically created.
- Update properties of one or multiple selected actions. Update automation via select and prompt
- Create and reference variables to edit properties. Create variables via prompt
- Add and update the conditions of if/else actions.
- Set the iterator type and items of loop logic (for, while). Instruct prompts to build loops
Best practices
- During development after sending a prompt, keep the Assistant page open and minimize when necessary. Prompts are not saved and hence conversation history cannot be retrieved when the screen is refreshed or a new session is started.
- Describe your whole automation scenario in your prompt. Long prompts can sometimes result in time-outs. If the scenario is too long or complex, divide the scenario into sections of operations. Then describe a healthy amount of operations in your prompt by the sections of operations in your automation scenario.
