Step 1: Choosing Your Mode of Operation
autobotAI offers two modes to suit different operational needs:
-
autobotAI Workspace: A scalable environment designed for larger teams requiring secure, role-based access and full data control. Integrate cloud services like AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem tools for comprehensive automation.
-
Key Features: Scalable, flexible integrations, and enhanced security management.
-
Components: Cloud integrations (e.g., AWS Lambda, ECS) and on-prem solutions for local deployments.
Note: Ensure necessary permissions for cloud-based deployments.
-
-
autobotAI SaaS: A managed service that’s ideal for smaller environments with minimal setup. autobotAI manages the platform's maintenance and updates.
-
Benefits: Quick setup, autobotAI-managed updates, and cost-effectiveness.
Note: SaaS mode may not be optimal for large-scale deployments compared to Workspace.
-
Step 2: Deploying autobotAI Workspace (If Selected)
Prerequisites
- An account with permissions for cloud or on-prem resources.
- Familiarity with the services you plan to integrate.
Deployment Steps
- Follow the Workspace Deployment Guide to set up autobotAI in your preferred environment.
- Configure integrations and resources as required.
Tip: Follow best practices to manage costs and secure cloud and on-prem deployments.

Creating and Managing Bots
Bots are at the heart of autobotAI. They are automated workflows that can perform tasks, gather data, send notifications, and more. autobotAI offers four ways to create bots, allowing you to tailor automations to your specific needs.
-
Manual Creation: Create bots manually by defining each action yourself. This allows for complete customization of workflows.
-
Bot Library: Use predefined, ready-made bots from the Bot Library. Choose from a selection of bots tailored to common use cases and activate them instantly.
-
AI Assistant: Let autobotAI’s AI Assistant create bots for you. Simply describe your use case, and the AI Assistant will generate a suitable bot.
-
Magic Button on Compliance Page: On the Compliance page, you can create bots in response to detected violations by clicking the "Magic Button." This feature allows you to automatically generate bots based on compliance rules and security needs.
Insight for Compliance and Inventory Management
The Insight feature gives you a detailed view of cloud configurations, helping you detect misconfigurations and maintain compliance standards.
Key Insight Features
- Misconfiguration Detection: Identify configuration issues in cloud resources.
- Inventory Management: Visually explore resources and conduct ad-hoc searches.
Supported standards include CIS, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
Disclaimer: Insight assists with prioritizing automation needs but is not a replacement for CSPM or CWPP tools.
