Introduction
On February 18, 2026, Open Co., a subsidiary of Open Group Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, announced the launch of two innovative services in their BizRobo! series:
BizRobo! AI Apps and
Robot Analyzer. These tools are designed to simplify operations by visualizing and analyzing the complexities involved in robotic process automation (RPA). As organizations increasingly adopt RPA technologies, these new services aim to address common challenges while enhancing overall efficiency.
Addressing Operational Challenges
As companies scale their use of robots in various processes, they often face numerous operational hurdles, such as:
- - Too many active robots complicating management
- - High maintenance demands due to the complexity of robot operations
- - Ambiguities around which robots are managed by which personnel
- - Difficulties in identifying the impact of modifications on existing processes
- - Lengthy training periods required to upskill personnel on robot adjustments
By employing BizRobo! AI Apps and Robot Analyzer, users can minimize these challenges and foster a more sustainable optimization of their RPA capabilities.
BizRobo! AI Apps Features
BizRobo! AI Apps leverages artificial intelligence to support the management and operation of RPA, aiming to ease operational burdens and maximize implementation benefits. Here are some of its key features:
1. AI-Powered Analysis and Visualization
Traditionally, verifying robot functions required direct inspection in Design Studio. However, with AI Apps, users can simply upload robot files. The AI then analyzes the contents and translates them into easily understandable formats, creating a structured outline that serves as a design document. This feature also allows for the registration of essential attributes to prevent black-boxing and enhance operational efficiency.
2. Unified Management of External Dependencies
During the analysis phase, the AI detects external files and services that interact with the robots. This capability accumulates a comprehensive overview of the entire BizRobo! ecosystem, allowing users to swiftly identify potential impacts from changes in file items, layouts, or user interface modifications on robot operations.
3. Workflow Visualization for Automation Opportunities
AI Apps facilitates the creation and editing of workflows in a visual format, enabling users to break down tasks easily. By linking tasks to robots, organizations can assess where automation is possible at a glance, paving the way for strategic decisions regarding future automation efforts.
4. Chat-Based Robot Template Creation
In a user-friendly chat format, AI assists developers in crafting robot implementations without the need for extensive coding. This interaction allows for the development of high-level blocks of tasks, seamlessly integrating human insights and AI capabilities to create functional robots.
Robot Analyzer Features
Robot Analyzer complements the BizRobo! suite by allowing users to simply drop robot files into the service for immediate structural analysis. This tool clarifies all components, including step counts, types, and configurations, thus supporting pre-implementation checks and ongoing maintenance.
1. Instant Structural Analysis
The Robot Analyzer quickly reveals key information about the robot's design, including the total number of steps, utilized variables, and points of external connectivity, which would typically require extensive manual investigation.
2. Objective Compliance Assessment
The data analyzed can be utilized to formulate development standards and rules, promoting quality consistency and maintainability. This feature is particularly beneficial for guiding novice developers through established protocols.
3. Asset Management Efficiency
The Robot Analyzer can utilize backup files obtained directly from BizRobo! for analysis. Even in organizations with multiple teams, this tool enables centralized processing and results can be exported into CSV format for easier tracking of operational trends and quality advancements.
Accessing BizRobo! AI Apps and Robot Analyzer
- - BizRobo! AI Apps: Paid service. Users are encouraged to reach out to their respective sales representative for account creation processes.
- - Robot Analyzer: Free service. Interested individuals can apply through the account application page.
The company plans to further enhance user experience through ongoing development of new features and an integrated platform for both BizRobo! AI Apps and Robot Analyzer. By remaining attuned to feedback from customers, Open Co. aims to play a pivotal role in facilitating business transformation.
