hyperautomation (noun)
The combination of AI with existing automation tools to automate as much of an end-to-end business process as possible. Rather than automating a single isolated step, it strings multiple steps together into one continuous process, in many cases removing human-scale limitations with AI responsiveness.
Example: "Hyperautomation strung together document extraction, an AI drafting step, and the existing approval system into one unbroken process."
