Most conventional AI systems rely on analysing millions of images of objects to compare and identify a new one. Making them work in a business system also requires specific coding skills. Consectus works differently by training the bot to look for images expected to be in a specific location on a computer screen and then identifying the contents. This can be done by a non-IT person such as a business analyst, to teach the bot what the process is and therefore enable it to be automated. Once the processes are automated the bot can execute them at a much higher rate than a human.

Any human task can be set for the robot, even including interrogating other systems and processes to compute data such as redemption figures. This ability to perform these often repetitive, low value but essential tasks allows more time for branch or HQ staff. This can be especially useful in times of high demand, such as when a new product is launched.
