Beyond the Hype: The Strategy Powering AI in ADONIS

The future of BPM is here. What once required hours of manual work – designing, analyzing, or explaining a process – can now happen in minutes, with the help of intelligent assistants and natural language prompts.

But as AI becomes more common in BPM tools, the question isn’t just what it can do. It’s how well it fits into the real work of process professionals.

That’s where ADONIS stands apart. Our approach to AI isn’t built around hype or experimentation – it’s built around people. We’ve focused on embedding AI directly into the BPM lifecycle. From helping designers move faster, to making process logic accessible to everyone, to uncovering risks and opportunities in seconds – our AI capabilities are designed to be useful and intuitive.

In this blog, we share the thinking behind that approach: the strategic pillars that guide our roadmap, the outcomes we prioritize, and the difference it’s already making for process teams today.

The best AI doesn’t just automate – it amplifies. But that only happens when there’s a purpose behind the technology.

That’s why every AI initiative in ADONIS starts with a simple question:

“Which user friction disappears – and how do we measure the gain?”

Because without a guiding strategy, AI can easily become scattered or short-lived. In ADONIS, every feature is built to serve the bigger picture: better process management, grounded in the way people actually work.

Like a Michelin‑star sous‑chef, AI in ADONIS preps instantly, responds intelligently, and elevates every outcome.

A simple sentence like “Supplier sends invoice → Finance checks → Payment released” becomes a structured BPMN draft, with lanes, roles, and task notes already in place. Team members can ask “Who approves invoice review?” and get concise answers in plain language. Analysts can surface automation opportunities in seconds, receiving specific suggestions that speed up the efforts.

The expert still leads, but AI brings the speed, guidance, and smart suggestions that keep work moving

Hint: Learn more about powerful AI capabilities in ADONIS.

ADONIS AI supports every BPM stakeholder, from creation to insight.

Process designers gain momentum from the first keystroke. With natural-language input, they can quickly turn ideas into structured process drafts, ready for refinement and enrichment.

For front-line employees and casual readers, Understand Mode transforms complex models into approachable guidance. A conversational sidebar reveals responsibilities, goals, and process logic in simple, everyday language.

Process managers and analysts benefit from Analyse Mode, where they can uncover bottlenecks, compliance gaps, and automation candidates in seconds. With contextual prompts and diagnostics embedded in the model view, they move straight to action – no tool switching, no data hunting.

Across the board, ADONIS AI helps each user get more done with less effort.

All of ADONIS’ AI capabilities are built around three core pillars. This ensures consistency and clear user value at every step.

Designers can turn a simple prompt into a complete BPMN draft in under 10 minutes, flows that used to take half a day. The assistant proposes next-step patterns based on similar models in your repository, while authors focus on enriching the process with risks, controls, and KPIs.

Readers gain a better understanding through guided conversation. A question like “Which team owns invoice approval?” delivers a specific, plain-language answer, with the diagram highlighting the relevant step. Diagrams become dynamic knowledge hubs, easing onboarding and supporting everyday decisions.

With a prompt like “Show automation potential in the finance cluster,” analysts receive context-aware suggestions, backed by projected savings. Further queries uncover bottlenecks, risks, and next steps, helping teams shift from insight to action.

Every AI roadmap item must reinforce one of these three focus areas, ensuring we build capabilities that deliver real, compounding value over time.

These capabilities aren’t theoretical; they’re already helping process teams today.

Natural-Language Modelling lets users generate complete BPMN diagrams from simple written prompts, including structure, roles, and metadata. Understand Mode enables users to explore processes conversationally, asking questions and getting real-time answers that clarify responsibilities and flow. And Analyse Mode allows analysts to uncover inefficiencies, risks, and improvement opportunities right inside their models, with no extra effort required.

Coming soon: the AI Process Extractor. This capability transforms SOPs and work instructions into editable diagrams, which users can refine through a conversational interface. It’s the next step in making process design even more accessible and collaborative.

You’re not just getting standalone features. You’re getting a BPM platform where AI is:

• Strategically embedded in everyday workflows
• Aligned with your role and how you actually work
• Focused on outcomes, not hype

Whether you’re modelling, managing, or just trying to understand a process, ADONIS meets you where you are, and helps you move faster, smarter, and with more confidence.

This is AI with purpose, and it’s only the beginning.
