Smart Task Automation Agent for Engineers

Engineering teams work with large volumes of documents such as FEED reports, maintenance logs, design notes, safety reviews, and technical assessments. Manually analyzing these documents requires engineers to spend hours reading, identifying issues, summarizing findings, preparing checklists, and drafting email updates. These tasks are repetitive, time-consuming, and often delay critical project decisions. To address this challenge, the Smart Task Automation Agent leverages the capabilities of IBM watsonx Orchestrate to automate the entire engineering review workflow. The agent intelligently reads engineering documents uploaded by the user, detects key issues, extracts essential technical information, and generates actionable engineering checklists. It also prepares a polished email summary that can be directly shared with supervisors or team members. This automation significantly reduces manual effort and enhances both speed and accuracy in engineering tasks. Instead of spending hours reviewing content, engineers can obtain structured insights within seconds. The agent ensures more consistent reporting, faster communication, and improved decision-making. By combining AI-driven document understanding with automated workflow execution, this project demonstrates how agentic AI can transform engineering operations. It is particularly useful for industries like petrochemicals, manufacturing, construction, energy, and utilities where documentation and reporting are critical. The Smart Task Automation Agent ultimately streamlines engineering processes, boosts productivity, and enables teams to focus on high-value design and problem-solving activities while the AI handles routine work efficiently.
