Every now and then one of us gets an idea of automating something using software bots. Before building such a software, it’s necessary to know the signs that tell whether these bots will be successful or not.

Saving money

The first sign that your idea can be turned into a successful bot is saving money. People may accept trying your software bot if it will save them cash. The best example of this type of bots is the robo-advisors. They are a class of financial adviser that provide financial advice online with minimal or no human intervention. These software bots are now one of the fastest growing technologies worldwide.

Saving time

The second reason people will adopt using your bot is saving their time. There are many software bots that have time saving as their primary edge. For example, ROSS saves lawyers’ time in doing researches and let them focus only on what matters. This software bot isn’t replacing lawyers, instead, it empowers them and save their time and efforts.

Saving lives

Using software bots is necessary if their human counterparts are not accessible. For example, in medical sector, many regions worldwide suffer from lack of trained health professionals. Many software bots were built recently to automate parts of medical care like Baidu’s medical assistant, Babylon Health, and others. Some of those bots were built to help patients, and at the same time, help doctors as well.

Automating repetitive tasks

There are many repetitive tasks that we used to do every day; many of those tasks can be automated. iCEO, a software bot built by HBR, aims at doing the repetitive tasks done by managers. It automates complex work by dividing it into small individual tasks. Afterwards, it assigns these micro-tasks to workers using multiple software platforms. Currently, HBR is the only one utilizing it; they are planning to release it to public soon.

Helping users make better decisions

Many bots were built to help its users to make the right decisions. Decisions which involve high investment are usually the hardest to take. For example, buying a house or a car is very hard decision. Software bots can assist its users in these decisions by showing them which one is the best. The car selection assistant, SuggestCar, is one of the examples of this type of bots.

Protect private info

One of the latest trends in health care is delivering cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) through internet. This trend is rising because many people may feel inconvenient to share private information with another person. Software bots can get to those people what a psychologist offers without actually having to visit one.
