Summary
In this webcast, we look back at our inaugural IBM Build-A-Bot Challenge, which ran for 30 days from June 15-July 15. During the contest, participants were tasked with building an application using IBM Robotic Process Automation across two categories: Best IBM RPA Solution to Improve My Workplace and Best IBM RPA Solution to Address a Social Challenge. There were two $10,000 prizes at stake and the winners were announced on July 28.

We invited the creators of the two winning entries to discuss the experience and demonstrate their work. An essential aspect of the contest was to create new Automation solutions that make a positive impact on the world. We will examine their approach to conceiving, collaborating, and creating the winning entries. How did they select the problem to address? How did they divide up the work? How many iterations did it take to achieve a working prototype?

In this opening segment, the winners from Cedrus Digital discuss their winning application for Best IBM RPA Solution to Improve My Workplace and how they worked together to create their winning submission.

One key challenge of the Contest was learning how to use IBM RPA in 30 days (or less). We’ll hear first-hand from the winners what their experience was like working with the tools and connecting RPA to the broader world of systems and services to create a powerful application.

In this second video segment, Wei Lai from Perficient, explained how he learned IBM RPA over a weekend and built two applications. His submission to create an Automated Food Bank won the Best IBM RPA Solution to Address a Social Challenge.
