When UiPath Inc. started the autopilot last year, the company positioned it as a powerful tool for turning paper documents into business applications with a single click. A customer has now taken that capability in-house to improve operational efficiency and the employee performance review process.

UiPath’s Imran Aziz and Dentsu’s Flo Ye talk to theCUBE about operational efficiency.

“There’s a lot of tedious work that goes into the financial statement,” said Flo Ye (pictured right), Head of Automation Solutions at Dentsu International. “We were able to upload a lot of documents to Autopilot, so now our employees can just ask questions around, ‘Hey, when’s the deadline?’ When do I submit these for the review process?’ The documentation has been there all along – it’s just everywhere, using autopilot we can now deliver this information to our people going through the process in a way that’s really efficient and easy for them to find.”

You spoke with CUBE Research’s Dave Vellante and co-host Rebecca Knight on UiPath Forward 2024during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s live streaming studio. She was joined by Imran Aziz (left), senior director of product management at UiPath Inc., and they discussed how Dentsu uses automation tools to improve operational efficiency.

Uses autopilot for operational efficiency

UiPath has built its offerings over the years on robotic process automation to automate repetitive work-related tasks. The launch of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, has laid the foundation for companies to integrate automation into a wider range of business applications.

“Autopilot is UiPath’s first-party conversational agent,” Aziz said. “It enables people to perform tasks ranging from writing content, but also, more importantly, to take action within apps. You don’t need to use ChatGPT at work because Autopilot can complete these tasks and also integrate with automations to perform them automatically.”

For Dentsu, a global marketing and advertising agency, automation has become a major initiative. Ye spoke at UiPath Forward last year when the integration of AI into the company’s business processes was in its early stages. It’s a different story today.

“We’re seeing how AI can also just push automation up a notch to deliver results, and we saw the growth as well,” Ye said. “Last year I was on stage talking about our program and we had 1,700 active members in our automation community. But with the AI ​​boom, we now have over 7,000 members in the AI ​​collective, which is where we merge AI and automation. “
