What is Automation Hero?

Automation Hero is an intelligent automation platform from the company of the same name in San Francisco, that offers customized solutions to automating business processes and common customer requests while producing data-driven insights to augment employee decision making.

Categories & Use Cases

Create flows without involving IT.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Automation Hero’s goal is to integrate artificial intelligence in the day by day activities, especially the ones linked to repetitive tasks managed by humans. In our organization (insurance field), Automation Hero is used for recognizing data from documents and pictures, for giving the email sender an automatic reply with basic/simple information, and for mail classification. In some cases, Automation Hero manages activities without human intervention; in other cases, it helps the human to manage his work quickly or in a more orderly way (we call it the “human in the loop use case”). This output can be easily realized through the Hero Platform. With this Platform, you can build different flows for different needs, so any flow is separated from the other, and it is very simple to manage them when you have to modify single aspects. For every output you want, you have to create a different flow. Automation Hero helps our organization on two sides: - from the external point of view; it gives the customer more efficient and quick answers; - on the internal side, it gives the possibility the people to focus on value activities instead of wasting time on activities that could be managed from a machine. Moreover, the possibility to create flows without strong IT skills sets our company free from the constant contact and time respect of the IT department.

Return on Investment

  • Less IT costs because, with Hero Platforms, flows can be implemented without IT technical skills.
