To assemble and customize digital assistants, the ROBIN platform provides a constructor (ROBIN Studio) that uses No-Code mode. In the constructor, the analyst assembles work scripts in information systems from ready-made actions in the form of a simple flowchart. The constructor includes more than 600 functional actions, which are easy to use and customize.

To speed up the assistant assemble, you can use one of the built-in recorders that convert user actions into a sequence of assistant actions.

NOTE. To assemble digital assistants you don't need special training in programming, as the assistants are assembled without code writing.

ROBIN has separated the work of the analyst from the work of the programmer. The analyst assembles digital assistants using No-Code mode.

For the programmer responsible for customizing actions (used to assemble assistants) and extending their functionality, a developer SDK is available, within which several frameworks are available. With their help, he creates custom actions, so that further analysts add them to the algorithms of assistants.

The absence of the ability to make direct code insertions when assembling a digital assistant provides protection from embedding malicious firmware and various black boxes, unlike traditional Low-Code tools.

How a digital assistant is assembled

An elementary functional block of the assistant's scheme is a ready program action. The lines connecting the functional blocks of the scheme indicate the sequence of actions execution. To build flexible algorithms of digital assistants, actions are available that perform the role of control operators: branching of the algorithm by condition (if-then, switch), loop (do-while, for, foreach, break, continue) and error handling (try-catch-throw blocks).

The simplicity and user-friendliness of the interface allows the user to start customizing the digital assistant as soon as the basic training course is completed.

Assembling a digital assistant scheme in Studio is accomplished in a few simple steps:

  1. Select the Actions tab in ROBIN Studio.
  2. Select a functional action group, e.g. Excel.
  3. Move the selected action into the workspace.
  4. Set the action parameters in the properties window.
  5. If necessary, use the action recorder.

This approach ensures that there are no embedded firmware or “black boxes” inside the robots, unlike traditional Low Code editors.
