Can somebody give me use cases that are faster than using an UX?

How am I supposed to use this. I really can’t think of one, but I don’t want to be blind-sighted as obviously a lot of money is going into this.

I also appreciate the tech behind it and functionality, but I still wonder for use cases



At current latency, there's a bunch of async automation usecases that one could use this for. For example:

*Tedious to complete, easy to verify

BPO: Filling out doctor licensing applications based on context from a web profile HR: Move candidate information from an ATS to HRIS system Logistics: Fill out a shipping order form based on a PDF of the packing label

* Interact with a diverse set of sites for a single workflow

Real estate: Diligence on properties that involves interacting with one of many county records websites Freight forwarding: Check the status of shipping containers across 1 of 50 port terminal sites Shipping: Post truck load requests across multiple job board sites BPO: Fetch the status of a Medicare coverage application from 1 of 50 state sites BPO: Fill out medical license forms across multiple state websites

* Periodic syncs between various systems of record

Clinical: Copy patient insurance info from Zocdoc into an internal system HR: Move candidate information from an ATS to HRIS system Customer onboarding: Create Salesforce tickets based on planned product installations that are logged in an internal system Logistics: Update the status of various shipments using tracking numbers on the USPS site

* PDF extraction to system interaction

Insurance: A broker processes a detailed project overview and creates a certificate of insurance with the specific details from the multi-page document by filling out an internal form Logistics: Fill out a shipping order form based on a PDF of the packing label Clinical: Enter patient appointment information into an EHR system based on a referral PDF Accounting: Extract invoice information from up to 50+ vendor formats and enter the details into a Google sheet without laborious OCR setup for specific formats Mortgage: Extract realtor names and address from a lease document and look up the license status on various state portals

* Self healing broken RPA workflows
