Linking stages in process flows with machine learning

1. A computer-implemented method of designing a logic flow for a user interface, the method comprising:

using a number of processors to perform the steps of:

receiving from a user a first task for an automation process file, wherein the automation process file defines a set of system activities;

adding the first task to the automation process file;

submitting the first task to a machine learning engine;

determining, with the machine learning engine, a number of suggested subsequent tasks to be performed after the first task, wherein the suggested subsequent tasks are based on frequencies with which previous users have used each suggested subsequent task after the first task;

providing the suggested subsequent tasks to the user;

receiving a second task from the user to be performed subsequent to the first task, wherein the second task may be selected from the suggested subsequent tasks; and

adding the second task to the automation process file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automation process file comprises:

a beginning task;

a number of user-defined tasks; and

a stop task.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein all tasks added to the automation process file are selected from a menu of predefined tasks.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tasks are defined as JSON objects.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the suggested subsequent tasks to the user comprises displaying the suggested subsequent tasks to the user through a drop-down menu.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second task received from the user is not one of the suggested subsequent tasks.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a route from the user, wherein the route defines a process path from the first task.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second task received from the user is connected to the first task by the route.

9. A system for designing a logic flow for a user interface, the system comprising:

a bus system;

a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device stores program instructions; and

a number of processors connected to the bus system, wherein the number of processors execute the program instructions to:

receive from a user a first task for an automation process file, wherein the automation process file defines a set of system activities;

add the first task to the automation process file;

submit the first task to a machine learning engine;

determine, with the machine learning engine, a number of suggested subsequent tasks to be performed after the first task, wherein the suggested subsequent tasks are based on frequencies with which previous users have used each suggested subsequent task after the first task;

provide the suggested subsequent tasks to the user;

receive a second task from the user to be performed subsequent to the first task, wherein the second task may be selected from the suggested subsequent tasks; and

add the second task to the automation process file.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the automation process file comprises:

a beginning task;

a number of user-defined tasks; and

a stop task.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein all tasks added to the automation process file are selected from a menu of predefined tasks.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the tasks are defined as JSON objects.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein providing the suggested subsequent tasks to the user comprises displaying the suggested subsequent tasks to the user through a drop-down menu.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the second task received from the user is not one of the suggested subsequent tasks.

15. The system of claim 9 , where in the process further execute instructions to receive a route from the user, wherein the route defines a process path from the first task.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second task received from the user is connected to the first task by the route.

17. A computer program product for designing a logic flow for a user interface, the computer program product comprising:

a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied thereon to perform the steps of:

receiving from a user a first task for an automation process file, wherein the automation process file defines a set of system activities;

adding the first task to the automation process file;

submitting the first task to a machine learning engine;

determining, with the machine learning engine, a number of suggested subsequent tasks to be performed after the first task, wherein the suggested subsequent tasks are based on frequencies with which previous users have used each suggested subsequent task after the first task;

providing the suggested subsequent tasks to the user;

receiving a second task from the user to be performed subsequent to the first task, wherein the second task may be selected from the suggested subsequent tasks; and

adding the second task to the automation process file.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the automation process file comprises:

a beginning task;

a number of user-defined tasks; and

a stop task.

19. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein all tasks added to the automation process file are selected from a menu of predefined tasks.

20. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the tasks are defined as JSON objects.

21. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein providing the suggested subsequent tasks to the user comprises displaying the suggested subsequent tasks to the user through a drop-down menu.

22. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the second task received from the user is not one of the suggested subsequent tasks.

23. The computer program product of claim 17 , further comprising instructions for receiving a route from the user, wherein the route defines a process path from the first task.

24. The computer program product according to claim 23 , wherein the second task received from the user is connected to the first task by the route.
