I just finished an Automation Anywhere demo (anyone can automate), and there were a few things that I thought were very powerful. I was curious if anyone has seen/built equivalents with the MS Platform. For each of these below items, has anyone know of or built solutions similar for this?
1. AARI seemed like a personal assistant popping up at different times to suggest automations. E.g. launch application a menu of common tasks (with automated workflows tied) would launch.
I know users can run bots on demand, but this quick help menu (maybe the user didn't even know the automation was an option) made the options very intuitive. I cannot think of a way to do similar with MS.
2. Human/Bot flow integration. The overall workflow had bots doing some steps, then prompting the user to do more, then back to automation, etc. Some of these went to secondary or tertiary users.
I can imagine building similar in a few ways (approvals, 'workflow' managed through custom Power Apps). But both would seem hard to manage long term.
The demo implied (but I have not played to see) that they have a workflow builder that makes stitching together these steps easy, and therefore the maintenance easy. Seems a powerful way to build much more complicated interactions.
Thank you all for your thoughts.
