Co-Pilot for Automators

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.

Co-Pilot for Automators follows these principles to ensure maximum efficiency and ease-of-use:
  • 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.

Process Composer Instruct prompts for a process task
  • 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 a process
  • Set the conditions of dependencies.
  • Update one or multiple supported properties of an existing node.
Bot editor Prompting for task bots
  • 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. Prompting for variables
  • Add and update the conditions of if/else actions.
  • Set the iterator type and items of loop logic (for, while). Prompting for 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.
