AI process automation and cognitive tasks

Cognitive automation includes various ways of combining artificial intelligence (AI) and process automation capabilities to improve business outcomes. It represents an array of approaches that improve how automation can capture data, automate decision-making, and scale automation.

As a result, businesses can streamline their workflows beyond the scope of current automation technologies, and accomplish operational efficiency, and more. 

An introduction to cognitive automation.

Automation is becoming increasingly more prevalent across organizations. Saving time, and money while improving the workforce’s morale are pertinent to successful teams and companies. The basic premise of cognitive automation is users can automate processes and gain intelligence and analytics, alleviating many of the pain points associated with day-to-day operations. 

Characteristics of cognitive automation:

• Mimics human behavior for more complex strategies and processes requiring judgment, analysis, and action suggestions. 
• Uses advanced tech, such as natural language processing, AI, and machine learning. 
• Knowledge-based, using humanlike actions and conversations to understand human behaviors. 
• Works on both complex structured and unstructured data. 

Why use cognitive automation? 

As mentioned, the day-to-day tasks of businesses, students, and professionals include mundane tasks that, if automated, can create cost savings, time savings, or improved morale. For example, it has been found that companies who automate can function better overall, leading to desirable outcomes. 

According to a McKinsey study, businesses and teams that adopted cognitive automation tools were able to:

• Automate approximately 50 – 70 percent of tasks.
• Cut down data processing time by 50 to 60 percent.
• Decrease annual labor expenditure by 20-30%
• Achieve triple-digit ROI

According to a survey conducted by Statista, 83% of companies share that having access to task automation and AI is a top priority in their business plans.

Need I say more? Who doesn’t want to reap these rewards?

What tasks can I complete with cognitive automation?

Countless! Let’s discuss a few.

• Organizing a vast amount of data–This can be a  great asset for college students conducting research studies with several respondents, surveys, and several data points to categorize. 
• Tracking financial and payment information- Accounts payable teams at a corporation or an individual at a small business can automate the invoicing process to receive invoice information from an email or PDF file, and enter it into the company or individuals accounting system.
• Onboarding employees-Cognitive automation tools such as employee onboarding bots can help by taking care of many required tasks in a fast, efficient, predictable, and error-free manner.
