Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automation systems, such as AI agents and RPA robots, often fail to adapt to the specific needs of individual users, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal performance.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a human-in-the-loop training approach where user interactions are monitored and analyzed to generate personalized workflows and AI models, allowing for localized adjustments and adaptations based on individual user behavior.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If automation systems are designed based on anticipated general functionality needs, then they can serve a broad range of users, but they cannot adapt to the specific needs of individual users

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAdaptability to user-specific needsVSAvoidSystem complexity for personalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements human-in-the-loop training where user interactions with the automation are monitored and fed back to continuously improve and personalize the automation behavior. The listener captures user actions and feedback, which are then used to retrain the automation model, enabling it to adapt to individual user preferences and workflows over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The automation system performs self-learning and self-improvement by automatically analyzing user interaction data and adjusting its own behavior. Through continuous monitoring of user actions and automatic retraining on captured data, the system evolves to better serve each user without requiring manual reconfiguration or intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automation systems are highly automated, then productivity increases, but the need for human oversight may increase to handle exceptions and adaptations

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAutomation efficiencyVSAvoidHuman oversight requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from user interactions to automatically improve its performance, reducing the need for human oversight. By capturing user corrections and adjustments as training data, the automation learns from exceptions and improves its ability to handle various scenarios autonomously, thereby maintaining high productivity while minimizing required human intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system proactively learns from user interactions and performs preliminary adaptations to prevent future exceptions. By continuously training on captured user behavior data, the automation anticipates user needs and adjusts its behavior in advance, reducing the likelihood of requiring human oversight for routine exceptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If automation systems are designed for general functionality, then deployment is simplified, but performance is suboptimal for specific users

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePerformance accuracyVSAvoidPersonalization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The automation system automatically personalizes itself for each user by monitoring and learning from their specific interaction patterns. Through continuous self-training on captured user behavior data, the system adapts its workflows and decision-making to match individual user preferences, achieving high performance accuracy without requiring manual customization or complex configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The automation system dynamically adapts its behavior based on learned user preferences and patterns. Rather than being static or requiring manual reconfiguration, the system continuously evolves its workflows and decision logic in response to observed user actions, enabling it to achieve high reliability for specific users while maintaining a generally deployable architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Human-in-the-loop automation training using artificial intelligence (AI) for agentic automation is disclosed. This may be accomplished by a listener watching interactions of a user or an AI agent with a computing system. Based on the interactions by the user or the AI agent with the computing system, the automation may be improved and/or personalized for the user or a group of users.
