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.

Automation has transformed invoice and bank processing but still needs faster setup and better integration
Automation Anywhere AI Agent could be improved in a few ways. Since I am currently working with Salesforce and I understand that to compete Automation Anywhere as a middleware product with Mulesoft or Informatica, the implementation phase needs to be quicker. The POC is always successful, but the implementation phase has to be quicker. The business needs to understand this better. Automation Anywhere should get into the business team and focus on explainability at the business level, not just a technical thing, but in the language or discussion where the business team can understand. There is clear business reasoning missing right now. The learning is strong within the process for sure, but there is limited reuse of learning across processes, which I think is very important. Simple model governance for business users is needed so that anyone should be able to use or create bots on Automation Anywhere. Right now, consultants and partners are needed in place. Additionally, Automation Anywhere should have native integrations with core platforms such as Oracle, SAPs, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. It should have out of the box integration rather than going for APIs because the deals which are not getting closed with Automation Anywhere or UIPath are purely because these organizations do not have out-of-the-box connectors available.

Automation has accelerated agent workflows and now needs broader connections for enterprise data
In the current function calling, if Fireworks AI could be added as part of our RAG system not only with the function calling we are using now but also with a variety of other connections, then an even better situation would be possible. Fireworks is based on tool calling, so it needs to add more different kinds of connections to enable faster data retention and optimization. Although multiple optimal optimization or measurement methodologies for using LLMs are being discussed, when using them inside enterprises, the main thing is actually measuring work handling capability or work processing speed. Based on that, and also through what might be called interviews with business-side staff, we measured the speed improvements in a somewhat indirect manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This tool provides us with easy accessibility for adopting the new process, as it is more user-friendly, and many new resources are able to grasp the tool and start doing the automation with ease, which is basically missing in the other vendors' tools."
"Its ease of deployment is the most valuable feature. We have found with many customers that it's quite easy to deploy."
"Automation Anywhere (AA) is easy to use and understand, even if the user didn't have previous experience with RPA (robotic process automation) software before."
"We have a plethora of good use cases saving good, hard dollars."
"For an organization who is looking to do some business renovation, the solution can work well depending on its purpose and usage."
"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"Not all tools give us the clear utilization of the infrastructure in place but this does and trust me, this has been proved far better than other RPA tools and that is why I see AA booming day by day."
"Automation Anywhere was the simplest solution, and it offered us immediate support."
"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."
"By automating repetitive processes such as data entry, report generation, and transaction processing, I reduced manual effort significantly as tasks that earlier took hours now take minutes, resulting in clear time savings."
"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."
"We are now building all these checks through Automation Anywhere AI Agent which will do all the AI checks and then give the decision whether the policy is to be issued or not."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted my organization by helping my productivity go up."
"After introducing Fireworks AI's high-speed inference engine, I found that communication speed between agents was about twice as fast as before."
"The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that Fireworks AI offers a platform where I can run and build my own AI models, which I consider to be the best feature."
"Since using Fireworks AI, being part of their startup program has resulted in significant cost savings and has helped accelerate our development timeline."
"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"Fireworks AI has helped our organization by enabling us to create a platform for artists to sell their art styles."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by increasing our AI response time by twenty to fifty percent, as we now have AI agents and AI features that return answers twenty to fifty percent faster."
 

Cons

"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Automation Anywhere. The UI is pretty straightforward. However, the customer service could be improved."
"Their technical support is good, but it could be better."
"Automation Anywhere could enhance its services by establishing a local office in our region to provide better support."
"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."
"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."
"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"I feel A2019 is still not completely ready and the discontinuing of version 11 is a negative impact for all of the users and clients."
"The OCR and document understanding of Automation Anywhere AI Agent still struggle with complex and unstructured formats such as invoices with multiple layouts, poor scan quality, or handwritten fields."
"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."
"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."
"The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp."
"Fireworks AI could be improved, as documentation could be clearer in some areas, especially around advanced configs."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
"Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience."
"One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive."
"Fireworks AI can be improved by addressing that costs can rise at scale."
"The customer support for Fireworks AI is average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."
"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."
"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
