A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240028354A1) describes a computing system equipped with a workflow recommendation assistant engine. This system involves pre-processing images of a user interface to generate action characteristics, holding a fixed number of these characteristics in a sliding window, pattern matching them against robotic process automations, dynamically adjusting the window size, and presenting a match set of automations to the user. The system aims to streamline workflow recommendations by analyzing user interactions with the interface and suggesting relevant robotic process automations based on identified patterns.

Furthermore, the patent outlines a method and a computer program product implementing the workflow recommendation assistant engine. These include capturing user interface images, presenting prompts for executing or setting triggers for identified automations, and utilizing existing robotic automation hashes for pattern matching. By focusing on action characteristics such as the type, number, and proximity of actions, as well as interactions with the interface, the system aims to enhance workflow efficiency and automation recommendations. The patent highlights the potential for improved user experience and productivity through the automated identification and presentation of relevant robotic process automations based on user activity and interface interactions.
