Podcast: Break Point - Meet the Web Agents with Jingfei Chen

[laurenmcmanamon]

On September 30th, ServiceNow's AI Experience launched, and with it came one of the most transformative new features: Web Agents! On this week's episode of Break Point, I was joined by returning guest, Jingfei Chen, to unveil how Web Agents automate tasks by navigating browser UIs like a human. Learn how this catch-all agent works, where it fits alongside APIs and RPA, and why it’s set to change how developers approach automation.

Note: There's currently an issue with the platform we use to publish the audio version of our podcasts. This episode will be available there at a later time. My apologies!
