Using OpenAI ChatGPT with Power Automate Desktop

Imagine the exciting world of process automation with ChatGPT and RPA, where intelligent conversational agents and cutting-edge automation technology come together to revolutionize the way we work.

In this article, we will explore the powerful language model called ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, that can understand and respond to natural language like a human. ChatGPT is revolutionizing the field of conversational AI by enabling anyone in the world to experience AI in new and innovative ways.

Anyone can use ChatGPT by integrating it into their application or website. OpenAI provides an API that developers can use to access the ChatGPT model and build their own conversational agents. Users can interact with ChatGPT by typing or speaking to it, and it can respond with natural language responses that mimic human conversation.

There is a tremendous opportunity to bring the capabilities of Open AI into the world of Process Automation. Open AI has the potential to help everyone in numerous ways, including helping with automating repetitive tasks and enhancing productivity. Leveraging Open AI’s large learning models (LLM) with Robotic Process Automation using Microsoft Power Automate Desktop can expand the scope for automating repetitive work and free up human resources to focus on more complex and creative tasks. This can lead to increased productivity and efficiency in many industries.

Among other things, there is an opportunity to use Open AI and RPA for below scenarios -

• Data Extraction - Extract data elements
• Summarization - Summarize the document / article.
• Code Generation - Generate code to help Citizen developers.
• Classification, categorization, and sentiment analysis
• Analyze the sentiment of an email.

We will explore a sample application that brings two of the biggest automation paradigms together - RPA using Power Automate Desktop and OpenAI's ChatGPT. In this use case, users can interact with ChatGPT by triggering a Desktop flow and asking any topic or question on how to use Power Automate Desktop aka "Power Automate Desktop Helper powered by OpenAI".

Below is a quick demo on how it?works -

Here are the steps to follow to make it happen:

1. Sign up for Open AI
2. Navigate to Overview - OpenAI API to access API Keys
3. Build a Desktop Flow in Power Automate Desktop (as below shown activities)

It was amazing experience to build this use case as the entire process from end-to-end automation took less?than few hours. Pretty sure, the AI infusion into PAD will open up many scenarios that can further help push the envelope for automation program's value realization for various industries and organizations.
