Optus brings bot needs into IT change planning

When I asked again about a movie like Primer, with a sci-fi twist, it suggested Coherence, an incredibly weird movie about multiple universes. The way that chatbots will prove their usefulness is not when we use them to get the weather once or twice and then quit, but when they become the primary conduit to finding the answers we want and when they save us time. Staff in the different business units that have live bots can also access real-time dashboards that display the bots’ performance.

The Finance Ministry submitted the proposed name to the cabinet last week, but the cabinet secretariat did not include it in the meeting agenda, attributing this to the late submission of the proposal. According to the central bank’s regulations, a new governor must be appointed at least 90 days before the current governor’s term ends.

Ideally, Santangelo said that Optus chased a “trifecta” of benefits when deploying software bots; it hopes they increase revenue, reduce costs and help to do things faster. Though the number of process automation bots continued to grow, Santangelo said the telco was less keen on measuring the success of its program of work by bot numbers than it was on the number of processes those bots automated. “From there on, we have people we dedicate a certain amount of time to monitor and maintain those bots, and because we have so many, we now monitor and maintain them 24×7.

Optus has a robotics operations centre or ROC that, in part, helps it to stay on top of bot maintenance. “You want to keep getting the benefit that you originally got from the bots by keeping them working.

However, Santangelo said the telco had also worked hard to build resiliency into bots from outset, potentially reducing the need for intensive maintenance further down the track. Still, Santangelo noted that there would still need to be a strong maintenance regime in place in order to keep software bots working and optimised. The telco is now in its fourth year of implementing robotic process automation, and has steadily increased its internal maturity and capability in the space. Mr Vitai, who was the last person to apply for the position, is reportedly being backed by former premier Srettha Thavisin and Mr Pichai, both of whom want to bring about a change in the central bank’s strategic direction. People hated this bot — found it off-putting and annoying.

To be understood intuitively is the goal — the words on the screen are the handle of the hammer. Recently, the developers behind And Chill figured out how to make the bot work faster. When you want to watch a movie, the last thing you want in a bot is long processing times — you want to watch now, not in an hour. By effectively humanising the bots – Optus has previously referred to them as ‘virtual employees’ – the telco also found the bots’ needs were considered as internal system changes were made. This might be because of novelty — we might become more comfortable with the virtual, more trusting of it (though this year’s headlines haven’t given us much to trust).

“We look at the process and look at optimising it with a bot in mind because it can be different for a bot to automate or optimise a process for the bot than for a human,” Santangelo said. “If you build in ways of handling those, then you actually have less maintenance and support required because there’s actions that can be taken or proactively taken when you hit the unhappy path.

But names don’t trigger an action in text-based bots, or chatbots. Even Slackbot, the tool built into the popular work messaging platform Slack, doesn’t need you to type “Hey Slackbot” in order to retrieve a pre-programmed response. Unlike most writers in my company, my work does its job best when it’s barely noticed. Control is incredibly important in designing digital tools — most language we see and experience in a product is about affording control and understanding to you, the person using the product — not me, the writer.

Each program is built around major news stories of the week. While all of this is pretty nifty it has one very important use, which is teaching children which may not have access to instruments of their own to play the piano. That instrument is usually used to teach children about notes and tempo in the class room, but can be an expensive piece of musical kit for a school to invest in. Names and identity lift the tools on the screen to a level above intuition. They make us see the tool in all its virtual glory, and place it in an entirely different context to the person using it — and not always a relationship that person asks for or appreciates. Mr Pichai on Monday confirmed that he would propose the name of the candidate selected for the position of central bank governor for approval at today’s cabinet meeting.

But despite the hundreds of movies we’ve made and books we’ve written about robots, introducing personality into technology might not be the way we become more comfortable. From a design perspective, bots are aligned with the whole concept of messaging-as-a-platform — we could build a bot right into our own messenger using the same simple elements we’d already designed for human-to-human conversation. Yet, as a die-hard sci-fi movie buff, I was a bit incredulous.

It was interrupting them, getting in the way of what they wanted (to talk to a real person), even though its interactions were very lightweight. A name can be a way of expressing trust in an object — or expressing control over it. In design terms, a name is a kind of affordance — a handle we can hold onto. There’s a new buzzword in computer design circles every year. Fortunately, the results from my first test were worth the wait. And Chill recommended the movie Uncanny, which is a sci-fi indie similar to Primer, and worth watching.
