This capability helps you meet SLA requirements, minimize downtime, increase operational efficiency, and reduce the risk of extended disruptions. With this capability, users feel more confident and agile when managing and enhancing their automation systems.

Users can go to the Copilot side panel, select the right skill from the skill picker, and ask questions like "What does the subflow do?" or "What do actions from 3 to 12 do?". This feature gives clear insights into automation processes, making it easier to troubleshoot and maintain complex automation. With this feature, teams can quickly find and fix issues, so they keep operational efficiency and meet SLA compliance.
