Why do we need this you?

Often, system administrators or individuals have ideas to automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks but lack the coding expertise to implement these ideas. Automation Generator bridges this gap by:

  • Reducing dependency on external developers.

  • Streamlining the process of converting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) into executable scripts.

  • Enhancing efficiency by allowing users to focus on more critical tasks.

Features

UI Components

  • Domain Input: A mandatory field to specify the domain.

  • Additional Information: An optional field for any extra relevant information.

  • PDF Upload: Upload your text-based PDF files.

  • PDF Summary Preview: A component to preview the summarized content.

  • Return Fields:

    • Block Diagram of Script Flow

    • Editable Script Panel with a Download option

    • Prerequisites Panel

  • Regenerate Button: Re-process all fields with updated inputs.

Functionality

  1. PDF Extraction and Summarization:

    • The tool extracts text from the uploaded PDF using Python libraries.

    • This text is sent to an AI model to generate a meaningful summary, breaking down information into step-by-step execution.

  2. Automation Generation:

    • Block Diagram: Creates a visual flow of the automation script.

    • Script Generation: Provides a detailed script to automate the summarized steps.

    • Prerequisites: Lists all necessary hardware, software, and access requirements.

  3. Regeneration:

    • Allows users to regenerate the fields with new inputs if necessary.
