How does process discovery work?

Combining zero-integration process capture with AI, Automation Anywhere’s Process Discovery creates a detailed blueprint of digital processes across all applications and departments within the organization. From this continuous and centralized system of record for work, Automation Anywhere’s Process Discovery interprets enterprise-wide process data to give context and meaning for transformation teams to assess, prioritize and accelerate automation opportunities.

Continuous capture of process data

A lightweight software agent records activities on every system touchpoint including process variances across different shifts, locations, or roles.

Data interpretation and structuring

Automation Anywhere’s Process Discovery applies computer vision and natural language processing to convert the continuous flow of process screenshots of digital work into structured data.

Data mining for process understanding

Granular process data is aggregated, cleaned, and transformed into accurate process blueprints and process definition documents (PDD) using AI and ML models.

Process visualization and reporting

Visualize processes and drill down for details such as durations, frequencies, and people/roles. Metadata shows how identical processes take different paths across regions, teams, or applications.

Rapid, continuous automation

Build optimal automations right out of the gate using full process intelligence. Automatically understand how to adapt and enhance automations and workflow as processes change.
