In A Company at EPUS
Automation has boosted customer satisfaction and simplifies managing complex customer journeys
The best features AI Agent Studio offers include a very easy-to-use interface for the Africa market, a good orchestration tool for easy integration with third-party tools, and quick results when searching for any results on the interface. I find the pre-built templates that come with the package very good to use to kickstart any common businesses. For someone having a very basic system, this can be easily used to assign all technical tasks. Additionally, testing and debugging is very easy because AI Agent Studio definitely helps trace any reasoning steps, execution logs, and evaluate the accuracy before going live for clients.

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions
Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AI Agent Studio has positively impacted my organization with manifold results."
"Speed is the most valuable feature. E.g., for a human, it could take around 60 minutes to create a report with a few errors. Occasionally, a person will miss something. With this bot, we can get the work done in around five minutes. So, it takes only five minutes for a report to scan and be created with fewer errors."
"It is easier to learn, implement, and get things done with Automation Anywhere compared to other tools on market right now."
"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."
"We have seen more efficient processing and less number of errors due to quality control."
"This RPA tool is a leader in the market, and I have had a very good experience working with Automation Anywhere."
"Automation has helped us improve productivity in that it first of all saves time, and because of the automation we are able to eliminate human errors, so it is really good for improving our productivity and has helped us a lot."
"It most benefitted us in converting daily routine tasks into automated processes at minimal cost with available infrastructure."
"Most of the features are valuable."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvements, AI Agent Studio can drastically enhance integration and tokens that have been used compared to the other competition."
"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."
"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."
"When I used this tool in the bot, it did not work. I got this issue when using the document automation learning instance."
"It would be really good if they could give more priority to tickets which are raised by partners. Right now, Automation Anywhere customers and employees have higher priority."
"Their Community Edition is awful. Every second day, it will fail. It will become corrupt."
"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."
"They should do more on the cognitive side."
"I would also like to see better communication with their customer success teams. It often takes longer than expected when we submit requests for help or come across a problem we want to resolve. While I can appreciate that it sometimes takes a while to get the appropriate answer, it would be nice to be in constant communication about where they are in the process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."
