Introduction
In today’s fast-paced business environment, employees spend countless hours performing repetitive tasks that could be automated. While UiPath pioneered this kind of ‘robotic’ process, a new startup, Bardeen, is launching a service that automates such work for businesses on the heels of a new round of funding.
The Problem with Current Automation Solutions
The current solutions available in the market have limitations when it comes to achieving repeatability. For instance, giving an AI platform the same task to repeat may result in two different outcomes. This lack of predictability makes it challenging to use these language models for real business applications.
Bardeen’s Approach: A New Era in Automation
Bardeen’s platform uses a natural language interface to automate repetitive knowledge work. The company has secured $3 million in this new round, taking its total funding raised to $22 million. This investment will help the startup expand its distribution channels and improve its technology.
How Bardeen Works
The platform runs as a browser extension and is context-aware, allowing agents to conduct a ‘planning’ step after receiving instructions from the user. This feature helps with repeatability, ensuring that the same task is performed consistently every time. The assistant continually learns from usage patterns, making it more efficient over time.
Integrations and Features
Bardeen integrates with 100 tools like Microsoft 365, CRMs, and sales platforms. It can perform tasks such as copying text from one document to another, sending emails, and updating databases. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing non-technical users to automate repetitive tasks without requiring extensive technical expertise.
Benefits of Using Bardeen
By automating repetitive tasks with Bardeen, businesses can:
- Increase productivity: Employees will have more time to focus on high-value tasks that require human judgment and creativity.
- Reduce errors: Automated tasks minimize the likelihood of human error, ensuring accuracy and consistency in results.
- Improve customer satisfaction: By responding quickly to customer inquiries and requests, businesses can enhance their overall customer experience.
Conclusion
Bardeen’s innovative approach to automation has the potential to transform the way businesses operate. With its natural language interface and context-aware technology, the platform offers a more efficient and reliable solution for automating repetitive tasks. As the startup continues to grow and improve its technology, it is likely to become an essential tool for organizations looking to boost productivity and reduce errors.
