Automation Anywhere launched the latest release of its IQ Bot cognitive automation solution with additional native AI capabilities and more third-party AI platform integrations than ever before to enable automation of complex business processes. Designed to assist and learn from business users, IQ Bot is the only cognitive bot that puts the power of advanced AI technologies in the hands of business users. The native AI capabilities in IQ Bot detect critical information hidden in unstructured data in ways that can be processed by other bots and applications to dramatically improve straight-through processing (STP). By combining cognitive abilities with practical, rule-based RPA capabilities, organizations can quickly scale and up-level their Intelligent Digital Workforces to fully automate processes end-to-end and run them independently, with minimal human intervention. "Automation Anywhere was one of the first RPA vendors to spot the need for automating business processes that handled unstructured data, for example, documents and emails. Its solution, IQ Bot, complements its RPA and helps organizations extend the scope of automation," said Sarah Burnett, research VP at Everest Group.
