featuresAutomation Anywhere is a leader in agentic process automation, having evolved from robotic process automation (RPA) to a platform where customers build and run AI agents. For years its community and its learning programs lived on separate teams and separate tools, and customers struggled to find what they needed. The Pathfinder Community and Learning team fixed that by building both on Gainsight — Customer Communities first, then Skilljar — and integrating them into a single hub with one login and one navigation. The payoff shows up in usage: engaged customers adopt at roughly twice the rate of those who don’t, and they leave with the data and vocabulary to make a compelling case for automation internally.https://www.gainsight.com/customer/automation-anywhere-unifies-community-and-learning-into-one-journey-to-drive-2x-higher-product-adoption/
