AI-based copilot in the expression editor could be a game-changer

Blue Prism should add an AI based copilot in the expression editor where user can write prompt in natural language and it should generate the expression automatically.

Hi @Tejaskumar_Darji,

Can you confirm how this idea is different from the other idea covering the use of AI/GenAI functionality that you have raised here? I appreciate the other idea is talking about calculation stages, but within the calculation stages you have the expression editor, so it seems like these two ideas are intrinsically linked and should potentially be combined?

Marking this idea as Needs More Info awaiting your feedback.

Regards,

Rob

Hi @robert.nicklin  I think you are right both can be combined.

Two distinct Gen AI features could be added here.

1) Focus specifically on the calculation stage, generating expressions based on a prompt.

For e.g. if I write - Generate expression to convert my local time to UTC time and format it h:mm:ss format.

2) While the other would be a Gen AI-based process or object flow generator. In this case, the user would input a natural language prompt, and the tool would generate a flow based on the prompt, which the developer could then modify as needed.

For e.g. if I write - Create an object to interact with the xyz.com website, perform a login, and input data from the worksheet located at C:\Temp\Test.xlsx.

Or create a process to open two PDF files, merge all their pages, and generate a single output PDF file containing all the pages from both files. Save the output PDF to the D:\Output folder with the filename in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.pdf' based on the current date and time stamp. If failed send an email alert notification to abc@xyz.com email address with a relevant subject and body as per the automation.

Added few examples to help differentiate between the two scenarios and use cases.
