Agent Studio™ - Build Your Virtual Workforce

Discover, Create Sources and Enable Integration

Through a simple point-and-click interface, Connotate’s Agent Studio allows non-technical end users to create powerful customized intelligent Agents that access high-value content deep on the Web or in the Enterprise with no programming required! Within minutes, the Studio allows you to create and execute new Agents or fine-tune existing ones to suit individual needs. With Agent Studio, the sky’s the limit. If 100 people create 100 Agents, the collective brainpower of your team grows to 10,000 Agents, delivering the powerful business intelligence your Enterprise needs to thrive.

Connotate’s Intelligent Agents have the ability to do almost anything a human can do to interact with data. User-defined criteria allows complete personalization of Agents to monitor, harvest, mine, and integrate dynamic content 24/7, saving you countless hours of research and analysis. They empower every knowledge worker, resulting in cost reduction, higher productivity, and new initiatives for virtually any industry. Imagine the possibilities!

Supported data sources include:

• The Internet
• Intranets/Extranets
• RSS
• Databases
• Internal applications
• Email
• Disparate data sources
• PDFs
• And more

Fast and Effective

Trained in minutes, Agents automate knowledge acquisition by monitoring, extracting and aggregating content of interest to the user. They provide detailed analysis and alert you to changes, and they can also update spreadsheets, databases and documents with the new information. Most importantly, they keep users in the know, 24/7. Once created, Connotate’s Intelligent Agents can be shared in the Agent Library or further personalized by adding or subtracting data sources at any time to suit specific needs within the Enterprise.
