Automation Anywhere Bot Marketplace and Monetization

Event: Tech Field Day 19

Appearance: Automation Anywhere Presents at Tech Field Day 19

Company: Automation Anywhere

Personnel: Brendan Foley

Brendan Foley will showcase the opportunity and resources for developers that Automation Anywhere provides, covering Community Edition, Developer Documentation and Bot Games, Developer Community (APeople), Automation Anywhere University, and Bot Store Monetization. Brendan Foley, who manages product for the Bot Store and oversees developer evangelism, explains Automation Anywhere’s strategy to engage a wide range of developers—from business professionals and IT teams to independent software vendors (ISVs). The aim is to establish the platform as a frontrunner in the intelligent automation sector, likening its ambition to the status enjoyed by Microsoft, Google, Twilio, and Salesforce. Foley underscores the growing market for intelligent automation, noting that Automation Anywhere’s platform is widely adopted by over 2,800 large enterprises in more than 90 countries.

A key component of this strategy is the Community Edition, a free version of Automation Anywhere’s software suite, allowing developers to explore tools for robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, and more. Additionally, the company provides extensive documentation accessible through docs.automationanywhere.com, encompassing resources for both novices and advanced developers. Another highlight is the “bot games,” competitions designed to incentivize developers to innovate using the platform. These competitions are held both virtually and in person across several international locations, fostering a sense of community and rapid skill acquisition.

Automation Anywhere also places significant emphasis on community and education through resources like the developer community APeople and Automation Anywhere University. APeople offers forums where developers can seek advice and share insights, while the University offers free courses to help users achieve fast-track accreditation or comprehensive certification. For developers aiming to build a business, the Bot Store is presented as a marketplace where they can monetize their work through a subscription model. Scheduled to enable monetization by the end of the summer, the Bot Store promises lucrative opportunities for developers, with Automation Anywhere handling billing and offering IP protection for submitted bots. This strategy aims to create a sustainable ecosystem where developers can thrive and continuously innovate.


Automation Anywhere The New AI Augmented RPA

Event: Tech Field Day 19

Personnel: Steve Van Lare

Steve Van Lare, Head of Cognitive Solutions at Automation Anywhere, introduces the concept of AI-augmented Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in a presentation at Tech Field Day 19. Van Lare underscores that RPA is the top delivery vehicle for AI, particularly when incorporating cognitive aspects that allow software to learn and improve over time. He highlights that Automation Anywhere’s RPA system is open and highly integrative, allowing seamless connection with other AI tools and platforms such as Google AI and Microsoft’s cognitive tools. One of the flagship products discussed is the IQ Bot, a cognitive tool designed to process documents, adapting and learning from new data continuously.

Van Lare elaborates on the architecture that underpins AI-augmented RPA solutions at Automation Anywhere, emphasizing how RPA facilitates the integration and deployment of AI components. He describes how custom-built tools and third-party solutions can be assembled into complete RPA skills, covering a range of functionalities like image recognition, NLP, and data extraction. By enabling business users to upload sample documents and train AI models without needing extensive technical expertise, these solutions streamline previously manual and repetitive tasks into automated workflows. For example, the IQ Bot can transform shipping and billing documents into structured data that can be easily inputted into enterprise systems like SAP or Oracle.

The presentation also touches on the flexibility and deployment strategies of AI skills within RPA frameworks. Van Lare mentions the efficiency of RPA in handling both the intensive training phase, often carried out on high-power GPU systems, and the execution phase, which can happen on less powerful, distributed devices. Furthermore, the Bot Store allows distribution and reuse of these trained AI models, ensuring broad accessibility and ease of deployment. A case study involving mortgage applications illustrates how these AI-augmented RPA systems can significantly enhance efficiency by automating straightforward cases while allowing human agents to focus on more complex decisions, thereby optimizing overall operational productivity.
