It is easy to get spooked by the fiction of robots taking over the human world when in reality robots being a part of the human workforce is great.
Robotic process automation eliminates the barrier of employees’ need of performing mundane tasks and enables them to focus on other productive business activities.
In this article, we are going to discuss the top 5 ways that keep you on the right track for RPA bots collaboration.
But first, what are RPA bots?
RPA bots are software robots that perform tasks in a digital environment. These bots aim to automate repetitive tasks and therefore, they are also known as the “digital workforce”.
In traditional automation tools, software developers have to create a list of actions to automate the tasks and interface to back-end systems using application programming interfaces (APIs).
In contrast, robotic process automation develops the action list by performing the task in the graphical user interface (GUI), and then automatically repeating these tasks directly in GUI.
But integrating daily standard operating procedures (SOP) and establishing an SOP for maintaining, updating, and re-evaluating automation is challenging. Once this is achieved both companies and employees will reap the benefits of automation.
Introducing employees to the present and future of work and automation can help businesses grow leaps and bounds. For instance, imagine the benefits if an employee can shift their focus from analyzing the spreadsheets to developing several pivot suggestions based on AI’s analysis!

There are various reasons organizations are implementing RPA as a solution to increase productivity and efficiency for their business. Working with robots and sharing their benefits would help your employees access the importance of automation in the workforce.
Of the most cited benefits of RPA, customer satisfaction & speed to market are the best ones after productivity and product quality.
Here are a few reasons employees can look forward to benefiting from their digital co-workers:
- Boosted productivity: By taking advantage of the automation provided by RPA bots, the human workforce can get back their time to focus on more valuable tasks.
- Better accuracy: RPA bots act as helping hands in tasks that have an added risk of human errors, such as in data entries.
- More reliability: Bots react and respond to events in real-time performing processes while employees focus on other things, to keep their workflows running 24/7.
Overview your existing tasks, workflows, and processes, and understand what can be changed to optimize these processes? When starting with RPA, identify your systems that need to change so that your human employees can spend time on tasks suited to them.
The time wasted on repetitive tasks, and the money lost per year as shown in the statistics above are the two solid reasons why your business needs RPA, along with human resources.
No matter how great the bots are, humans are still better at critical thinking, strategizing, and problem-solving. So, RPA bots are not here to replace employees, but to assist them with efficiently getting their jobs done.
To get the best experience with collaborative robots, focus on your human employees, and when you have learned the benefits you can jump right in and automate everything.
Not all bots are created equal, different bots serve different purposes. There are mainly two types of RPA bots, attended and non-attended, and the third one, Intelligent process automation still in its infancy.
Attended bots help you complete your everyday tasks easier but with human intervention. These tasks go into action when a user commands them. On the other hand, unattended automation work behind the scenes. These bots get triggered when an action such as a file being added into the folder is performed.
Both of these automation types are important for human collaboration with robots, and companies can use one type of mix, whichever suits the employee’s needs better.
As you start implementing RPA and automation in your organization grows, you’ll be able to provide an RPA bot for all your employees. A great RPA solution is that which can provide bots for the right optimization.
→ RPA in Banking (Carter Bank & trust)
Problem: Too much wasted time on routine, manual tasks from employee on-boarding to customer account management.
RPA Solution: After bringing RPA culture to the organization, these processes were streamlined and over 300,000 customer accounts were migrated to the new system within 24 hours.
Benefit: Achieved 3,800% ROI within 5 months
→ RPA in Telecommunications
Problem: Manual logging into websites to capture and consolidate customer billing information, more than 40 employees were assigned to this tedious error-prone task.
RPA Solution: Software bots are taking over these repetitive and manual tasks. MetTel also combined automation with remediation to improve the response times.
Benefit: Replaced 75% of their manual efforts with software robots.
→ RPA in Healthcare
Problem: The traditional claim management system accepted only one claim file each day from 837 daily generated files.
RPA Solution: Baptist Health automated the daily transfers of these files to the FTP server which resulted in greater centralized control over thousands of file transfers that occur each day.
Benefits: Saved 40 hours a month in manual tasks.

The final step for reaping benefits from collaboration between the human workforce and bots is to maximize the collaboration and make the most out of the RPA bots. RPA bots can give your employees more time while improving their work-life balance. Collaborative robots can fill in and work 24/7 with a little time off allowing your employees to enjoy their freedom.
RPA bots can also help you automate your tasks such as website monitoring, that require 24/7 attention, so instead of having a human employee monitor the status of the webpages, you can implement website automation for the same.
We all are already familiar with the idea of automation, it has made our lives easier, and better.
Streamlining your business tedious tasks helps you save time, reduce costs and increase efficiency in your business processes. Introducing RPA bots in your business doesn’t mean that you are taking their jobs away, but simplifying them by automating repetitive and mundane tasks.

All kinds of actions and events can set you back in the Google Maps 3-pack, the organic results, or both: Google Business Profile pages that get removed, having a location in the same building or complex as a bunch of your competitors, hosting or other errors that prevent Google from accessing your site, getting your title tags wiped out, being at the business end of an algorithm update, or buying thousands of shaky links. It’s important that you can ID the landmines. It’s equally important to know what is not a landmine.
Over the past 86 “Internet years,” I’ve had many a conversation with business owners (and often other SEOs) to the effect of, “Do you think ______ caused my rankings to dive?” More often than not I say “No, here’s what I think happened,” and then usually I, we, or they put the theory to the test. Usually it takes a while before the problem (or combination of problems) becomes clear, or at least clearer. On the occasions I’m (temporarily) wrong, it’s always because I picked the wrong usual suspect out of the lineup of usual suspects. It’s never because of the factors that never seem to cause a drop.
So, what factors never seem to cause a drop? They’re the 21 concerns I describe in the list below. They are things that I have simply never seen cause one’s rankings to drop. Some may be trouser-darkening events for other reasons, though.
While we’re doing the CYA clauses, I’ll add one more: I’m not necessarily for or against doing any of these things. Every situation is at least a little different, and I don’t know the particulars of yours.
All I’m saying is that I can tell you 21 things that I am certain did not cause your drop in the local rankings, and that are unlikely to cause you problems in the future. The less effort you can waste on perceived problems, the more you can focus on real problems and on what’s past those problems. Best of all, some of the things you may have feared hurt your rankings often can help them. I hope this post adds a little peace of mind.
1. Keyword-stuffing the Google My Business name. (Not that I suggest you do that; I sure hope you don’t.) If competitors send in a Maps edit on your name, and Google approves it, Google will just change your name. You can change it back, and the cycle may repeat. Likewise if Google changes your name spontaneously (i.e. not at the suggestion of a competitor). You may go back and forth with them. If the shoehorned-in keywords were the ONLY reason you ranked for those terms, then eventually their absence will mean you need to start working for your rankings. But the mere fact of having your name pruned by Google doesn’t affect your rankings more than that, at least in my experience.
2. Slowing down the pace of new Google reviews. If your recent Google reviews or unimpressive, or the last one was 2 years ago, then maybe you’ll get fewer calls, but your rankings will be fine. Getting new Google reviews at a steady pace (even if it’s slow) can help your 3-pack / Maps visibility for niche terms, and it may help you a little for competitive terms where Google is deciding between strong competitors by inches or ounces. But that just means a slowdown on Google reviews is a missed opportunity, and not a mistake that sets you back.
3. A bad Google review. Similar deal as with my “pace of new Google reviews” point (above). If it’s both harsh and credible, then you may see a drop in leads. If you get so many bad reviews that you get a 1-star or 2-star average and nobody clicks on you, then the rankings may slip. But just about everyone gets a bad review sooner or later, and anyone can whack anyone else with a bad review, which would explain why I’ve never observed a drop from a bad review here and there.
4. Getting NEW Google reviews filtered. (Or Yelp reviews, for that matter.) The review never helped you, so its absence won’t hurt you. Google filters reviews constantly, for reasons good and bad, for businesses that rank well and those that don’t.
What about when Google filters reviews that had been showing up on your GBP page? Jury’s out on that. If you lose a large enough % of reviews, and if you’re in a market where your competitors’ local SEO game is also strong and it’s always neck-and-neck, then losing those reviews in bulk may knock you down in the 3-pack results (though your organic rankings for local terms will stay the same).
5. Building tons of citations. Let’s say more than 50. It’s a big waste of time, after you’ve got listings on the basic sites and maybe on a few industry-specific or geographically focused sites. And it’s a pain to update all of those listings, if you ever need or want to. No harm beyond that, though. Most of the so-called links you get from most directories are nofollowed anyway, so no need to be concerned about getting too many inbound links in a short span of time.
6. Cancelling Yext or Moz Local or similar local listings software. A few listings may disappear over time, but for the most part all that happens is the listings go unclaimed. At most maybe you’ll need or want to claim and correct listings that are no longer correct, but you won’t experience tanking rankings.
7. Not bothering to claim listings that have the correct info for your business. As long as non-Google sites like Yelp, YP, BBB, and so on have all the info you want and none of the info you don’t, you don’t benefit from claiming those listings. It’s usually easy to do, but sometimes it’s not, and it’s always an errand – and you may not need any more errands right now.
8. Allowing some duplicate or incorrect citations. Your citations do not need to be perfect. It’s that simple.
9. Paying for a link or a few links. Google is used to seeing all kinds of links: locally relevant links, professionally relevant links, links that stay up for a long time, links that come and go quickly, links from shady sites, links that have typos in the anchor text, and so on. Most high-performing sites have a mishmash of backlinks, and some invisible sites do, too. If paying for a membership, a sponsorship, an expired domain that you 301-rediect, or someone’s vig is the only way you have to get a good link, then that may be a problem: Sooner or later it will look strange to Google, and either it’ll stop working, or you may incur a penalty, or both. But if a relative sliver of your good links involved money changing hands at some point, and especially if those sites are relevant to what you do or where you’re located, don’t worry about it. It is important to have multiple irons in the golf bag.
10. Not blogging much or at all. If blogging is the only way you generate traffic, then of course slowing down on it will mean less traffic. If it’s the only way you ever get new links, or if it’s your only occasion to go in and add internal links to other pages on your site or tighten other bolts, then maybe your site will rust. But most businesses that rank well don’t ever blog. Poke around the local search results for different industries for 5 minutes and you’ll see what I mean. They rank for other reasons. Your Maps and other local rankings depend on other activities. If you can blog and have it advance your goals, great, but there is absolutely no reason you need to do it.
11. Stuffing title tags. If you do a Mr. Potato Head number on the title tag of a page that does well, your rankings may change, and not necessarily for the better. If Google considers your title tag too plump, it won’t show the whole thing in the search results. (It usually shows a title tag that’s different from what you specified anyway.) If you add in a ton of keywords that you’ve done no other work to rank for, and you expect that one change to help you rank for all those terms, then you’ll come up short more often than not. But let’s say the rest of the page has content on multiple services, or is geared toward multiple cities, or both, and you just want the title tag to reflect all of that. Totally fine. Go long. I have seen great results from doing that.
12. Creating weak “city” pages. The worst that happens is they don’t rank. (They probably won’t rank, if you just hurled them out.) Either you’ll try to revive them, or you’ll give up and try something else. But I’ve never seen the arrival of bad city pages affect the visibility of good pages, or the Maps / 3-pack rankings of a business that’s strong in other respects.
13. Using an exact-match domain for your business that may or may not match the name of your business. If the name of the business is relevant to your industry, your area, or both, then that helps a little, and having a domain name that matches may help a little more. That’s been plain as day for some time. But what if the name of the business is all branding and no keywords, while the domain is very “optimized”? Or how about the other way around? I have not seen that Google dings you for either kind of mismatch. Just trust your gut on the branding.
14. Recycling content. I’m talking mainly about using content on one page that’s extremely similar to what you’ve got on other pages. Pages that are 95% full of boilerplate content can rank just fine. They don’t always, of course. If the competition is tough or dense, those pages or your site as a whole may need work in other areas. Now, you should differentiate the content as much as you can, especially when you can showcase your experience in performing this or that service, working in this or that place, working for this or that type of customer, etc. I’m just saying the rest of your site won’t suffer just you neglect to do that on certain pages. What about copying and pasting reviews onto your site, or reusing descriptions from your YouTube videos on your site, or reusing the same photos or reviews or videos (etc.) in multiple spots on your site? Also not a problem.
15. Heavy internal linking. On the contrary, I’ve found that internal links are crucial for specific pages or terms I’m trying to bump. In theory you probably shouldn’t use super-optimized exact-match anchor text on every link, but it never seems to hurt.
You definitely should emphasize the pages on your site you consider the highest priority, rather than link to every page on every other page and not make any distinctions or judgment calls. Apply the 80/20 rule, and apply the “Would someone ever find this link helpful and click on it?” test when in doubt. As long as you do those things, I’d suggest a heavier touch rather than a lighter one.
16. Having your content plagiarized. Under some circumstances that can take a bits out of you. If a Big Soulless Corporation lifts whole pages of your content, Google may conclude (wrongly) that it’s the original or more-definitive source based on the size and age and quality of its backlinks profile, which may be stronger than yours. Or if your SEO effort is very feeble or very recent and you’re up against a competitor who’s not only been ranking for a long time and getting links, but who also pinches your content right away, then the plagiarized version will probably outrank your original. Those are relative edge cases. More likely than not, the plagiarist is just a lazy ankle-biter, and the plagiarized content won’t rise far above your boot waffle.
17. Changing website platforms. There are many ways to screw up your rankings during or after a migration. Wiping out content, title tags, and URLs are chief among them. Moving to a platform that’s buggy or unnecessarily hard to work on (e.g. Wix) or moving to an unreliable host can hurt you, too. But the mere act of moving to or from WordPress, or to or from Shopify, or to or from a hand-coded site won’t hurt you – or help you. Where the moving truck is headed matters much less than what happens while the moving truck is on the road.
18. Targeting multiple cities on one page. By that, typically I mean that at the very least mention at least a couple of relevant cities or other areas in the title tag and somewhere ON the page – like in a “service area” section – and maybe have a section on each physical location or individual service area. Usually I also recommend (if applicable) putting each office’s NAP info somewhere on the page, and adding whatever locally relevant content you can. Often you don’t need to do any on-page work at all to rank in a certain place, mainly because it also depends on where your business is located relative to the searcher. In any event, what I’ve seen time and time again is that you don’t “dilute” your relevance to one place by trying to focus on a page on several places. You may not rank in all of them, but in general you won’t hurt any rankings you have in one city by trying to grab what you can in other cities, too.
19. Slow page-load times. Everyone’s site could be faster. Not everyone has great reviews, relevant links, detailed info on services, and other coins of the realm. Rankings just don’t ever seem to come down to page speed. If your competitors don’t have greased-lightning sites, and especially given that Amazon and Google themselves have less-than-perfect load times, you need to grade yourself on a curve. Now, if Googlebot can’t index what’s on your site, that’s a problem. If your site returns server errors that make your site inaccessible for more than a couple of days, that’s also a problem. Those aren’t issues of page speed, though. There’s no need to worry about a drop in visibility if (for instance) you add some photos and see a drop in speed, or if your site isn’t quite as speedy as a competitor’s. This ain’t Dodge City.
20. Interlinking a few sites that you own, control, or influence. Sites that rank well and that don’t rank well do that all the time, often for considerations that have nothing to do with rankings. It’s a practice that predates Google. Should you get 70 sites and blast links between them? Probably not. 5 sites? Won’t hurt, and may help a whisker.
21. Long pauses in your SEO work. You need to do (or have someone else do) basic preventive maintenance on your site. You need to keep an eye out for spammy competitors on the map and do what you can to minimize their number, so they don’t hogtie you in your sleep. If your highest visibility and fattest profit have roughly corresponded to reviews you get, useful content you add to the site, and links and publicity you get, then you’d be silly not to keep that up.
What you generally do not need to do is work on SEO every day, every week, or even every month. That’s because the action items change somewhat over time, because effective work tends to stick, and because often you won’t see the effects of what you do for weeks or months. Just because you’ve let some time pass between blasts of work doesn’t mean your rankings are worse off for it. Frequent check-ups are important, and frequent work is great if you can do it. Constant tweaking or fidgeting is neither.

At Bot Libre we have always been developing artificial intelligence for the Metaverse, we just did not have a name for it. The Bot Libre AI engine has always been designed to have a mind with multiple senses, it’s just that with plain chat user interfaces, those senses could not be truly actualized. The Metaverse now provides a rich multi-sensory environment, and we are extremely excited to evolve the Bot Libre AI engine and platform to navigate the Metaverse.
We are developing new 3D and VR apps and SDKs to integrate the Bot Libre platform with the evolving Metaverse. We are integrating Bot Libre’s NLP, vision, and spatial artificial intelligence algorithms into the Metaverse environment.
The Metaverse is a term used to describe a new vision for the Internet as a decentralized 3D space. The Metaverse includes various technologies including:
- 3D — 3D Worlds and Spaces
- VR — Virtual Reality
- AR — Augmented Reality
- AI — Artificial Intelligence
- Web3 — Crypto Currencies, NTFs, Block Chain
The Metaverse needs chatbots and AI to enable immersive interactions with users.
- VR/AR user interfaces are based on speech, chat, and 3D interaction, blending well with chatbots
- Metaverse is 24/7, businesses, events, online schools, and games that engage users in this space require chatbots and automated interactions
- The Metaverse is multi-sensory, AI bots need to integrate NLP, vision, audio, spatial awareness, and navigation.
To evolve, AI needs an immersive multi-sensory environment which is the Metaverse. Existing AI models are single-purpose, single-sensory. True intelligence requires multi-sensory learning and a rich environment to interact with other intelligence entities.
The human brain is not a single neural network, but a kludge of multiple networks all interacting with each other at multiple levels. The concept of the Bot Libre OMNI model is that if you feed the output nodes and deep links from multiple deep learning models, actively processing continuous input from multiple senses into OMNI meta models, you can achieve a higher level of intelligence than possible from a single model.
We are looking for businesses, organizations, and developers that are interested in being early adopters of the Metaverse technologies, in order to shape, play, participate, and even profit from the Metaverse, by working with us to drive our open source metaverse AI solution.
We will be starting our Bot Libre Metaverse Beta Program soon. If you are interested in applying to be part of the program please contact [email protected].

Spice up your emails with simple Jinja code that generates a text rotator.
The best way to keep your emails from feeling blah is to write interesting, relatable content that personally addresses the thoughts and feelings of your audience. But when you look at the broader internet, sites have all sorts of other surprising and delightful little widgets that add that little bit of magic to move an audience from liking content to loving it.
A lot of people think you can’t replicate those bits of delight in an email; but at AWeber we know that’s not true. We’ve built our templating language in a way that lets you create all sorts of exciting dynamic and personalized elements for your audience.
I’m going to show you how to create a horoscope that will be randomly generated for each of your subscribers whenever you send them an email. You don’t have to be a programmer to learn how to do this, it’s just a few simple lines of Jinja (that’s the templating language we use in AWeber).
What are we making today?
We’re going to create a horoscope for your subscribers that has two dynamic sections so your subscribers will get a randomly generated prediction with every email you include this in.
The two sections are:
- A section where we tell someone what type of day it’s going to be (good, bad, strange, etc).
- The end of the horoscope where we tell them something they should avoid doing today.
Here’s what it’s going to look like:
Setting up your horoscope generator
To start, pull a text element into your message (you can do this as an existing text element if you want, I just prefer to have it in its own element to make it easier to manage).
Now open Source view in the text element.
Write or paste the following block of text into the Source view window and hit “ok”.
{% set horoscopeDayType = [
“A good day”,
“A bad day”,
“A grand old time”,
]%}
{% set horoscopeActivity = [
“feeding the ducks”,
“finally finishing that time machine you’ve been working on”,
“writing too many letters to too many editors”,
]%}
<p>Today is going to be {{ horoscopeDayType | random }} as long as you avoid {{ horoscopeActivity | random }}.</p>
When you click to preview your message, you’ll see your random horoscope. When you switch back and forth between edit and preview mode you should get a re-generated horoscope.
How does this Jinja horoscope generator work?
Let’s look at each of the sections of code we dropped in.
{% set horoscopeDayType = [
“A good day”,
“A bad day”,
“A grand old time”,
]%}
This is an array, or collection, of phrases that will fill in the first section of the sentence:
“Today is going to be {{ horoscopeDayType | random }}.”
If you want to add new items that might get pulled, just add another line:
- Make sure that your new text is wrapped in quotation marks
- Make sure each line ends with a comma after the closing quote
{% set horoscopeActivity = [
“feeding the ducks”,
“finally finishing that time machine you’ve been working on”,
“writing too many letters to too many editors”,
]%}
This is the array that is filled with items that randomly get pulled into the second part of the sentence:
as long as you avoid {{ horoscopeActivity | random }}.”
Finally, we have the bit of code that actually defines what shows for your subscribers.
<p>Today is going to be {{ horoscopeDayType | random }} as long as you avoid {{ horoscopeActivity | random }}.</p>
AWeber uses the Jinja “random” filter to randomly select one of the items in the “horoscopeDayType” array for each of your subscribers.
That’s all there is to it! Now you know how to make an array of text and randomly show one of the items from the array in your message. And you’ve put those principles to use to build a dynamic horoscope generator.
These same principles can be used to add weekly quotes, your favorite recommended links, random product recommendations, or to introduce some variety into your email introduction.
In a future tutorial, I’ll show you how to make even more dynamic horoscopes that use randomly selected sentence structures to add more variety to the types of horoscopes your audience might get.

Conversational AI startup platform Kore.ai crosses $73.5 million series C funding round as Nvidia has added $3.5 million to their funding round. And this investment is indicating the sign of teaming up for the integration of Voice AI technology for customer service centers.
Kore.ai has made its name by creating a wide virtual assistant platform to build, test and deploy voice and text-based customer service. As soon as their name spreads, the company claims to be a giant tech who has managed more than a billion interactions. However, the company has already funded $73.5 million where an extra of 3.5 million has been added by Nvidia. The investment has been made to tie up with kore.ai and work for advanced conversational Ai projects and platforms.
According to Kore.ai, Nvidia Riva’s specially designed SKD will help to build an advanced technology AI brand voice to enhance customer service and other relations. Riva is the part of expanded conversational AI of Nvidia.
Nvidia’s GPU also makes any Ai much accurate and faster than others to provide a more instant and effective response to customers.
“This relationship will allow us to further optimize the contact center experience for customers and agents thereby improving the speed of business for enterprises, large and small,” Kore CEO Raj Koneru stated.
Nvidia is gradually extending their advanced Ai technological services from allowing cars to park themselves automatically to virtual humans whereas, kore.ai helps to boost enterprise’s business by optimizing customer service experience. Thus the tie-up between these two companies is quite significant.
