Does the Swivel Chair Bot require API access?

No. While it can use APIs, its primary strength is Computer Use - the ability to interact with legacy application user interfaces like a human, clicking buttons and typing into fields.

How accurate is the data entry?

Extremely accurate. By removing human fatigue and utilizing validation rules, the Swivel Chair Bot typically reduces data entry errors by 90% compared to manual processing.

Can it handle handwritten documents?

Yes. Modern AI agents leverage advanced Intelligent Document Processing capable of interpreting handwriting on forms and delivery receipts.

What happens if the legacy system layout changes?

Unlike rigid scripts, modern agentic AI can adapt to minor UI changes. For significant changes, the agent flags the issue for human review and can be rapidly retrained.

Is this secure for sensitive data?

Yes. The bot operates within your secure infrastructure using encrypted credentials and generates a complete audit trail of every action, ensuring compliance with security standards.

Swivel Chair Bot | AI Workers

Swivel Chair Bot is an AI worker that bridges disconnected legacy systems using computer vision and GUI interaction.

It reduces manual data entry labor by 40% and eliminates 90% of transcription errors without requiring expensive infrastructure overhauls.

What is Swivel Chair Bot?

Universal System Connector. The Swivel Chair Bot is an AI-powered digital worker that dismantles the inefficiency of manually moving data between disconnected systems. Unlike tools requiring rigid APIs, it interacts with user interfaces (GUIs) like a human, navigating menus, typing into fields, and clicking buttons.
The Manual Trap. Despite digital transformation promises, millions of workers spend days as "human middleware," re-keying information from emails into ERPs, PDFs into spreadsheets, and legacy mainframes into web portals. Research shows employees waste 3-4 hours daily on these low-value tasks.
Computer-Using Agent Technology. The bot leverages "Computer-Using Agent" technology to operate software lacking modern integration points. It can monitor email for shipping manifests, extract data via OCR, log into legacy TMS via browser, and input details line-by-line with 100% fidelity.
Back-Office Liberation. By taking over repetitive "stare and compare" tasks, the bot liberates human workers from data entry drudgery, allowing focus on high-value analysis and exception management.

Replaces:

Manual re-keying typing data from one screen to another.

Copy-paste workflows from emails or PDFs into database fields.

Portal scrubbing logging into vendor portals for status updates.

Spreadsheet formatting preparing Excel for bulk ERP uploads.

Legacy system navigation through multi-step mainframe menus.

Why Swivel Chair Bot?

Eliminate the Manual Trap. Research shows manual processes destroy productivity and margins, with 3-4 hours wasted daily on low-value tasks. Automating data transfer reduces manual data entry labor by 40%, redirecting staff to revenue-generating activities.
Eradicate Data Entry Errors. Human fatigue leads to transcription errors with manual invoice processing error rates of 5-15%, causing duplicate payments and compliance risks. The bot operates with machine precision, reducing errors by 90%.
Extend Legacy System Viability. Many enterprises rely on robust but antiquated legacy systems that are expensive to replace. The bot acts as a non-invasive integration layer, allowing workflow modernization without massive capital expenditure.
Instant Scalability. Human teams cannot scale instantly for data volume surges. The bot provides infinite elasticity, whether processing 100 or 10,000 transactions, ensuring back-office operations never become bottlenecks.

How It Works

Workflow Automation

How Swivel Chair Bot integrates with your systems

Legacy System Data Entry

RPALegacy SystemsData Entry

Loading workflow...

Receives task requests and uses AI to map input data to legacy system fields, then enters via RPA scripts with validation.

Intelligent Data Ingestion. The bot monitors input channels - email servers, SFTP folders, API endpoints - to ingest unstructured data sources like PDF invoices, Excel spreadsheets, or scanned forms using Intelligent Document Processing.
Contextual Data Mapping. Extracted data fields are transformed and mapped to destination system format. This includes normalizing units, cross-referencing SKU codes against master databases, and validating mandatory fields.
Autonomous GUI Interaction. For systems without APIs, the bot uses "Computer Use" capabilities - launching virtual browsers, logging in with secure credentials, navigating menus, and typing validated data into appropriate fields.
Validation and Audit Logging. After inputting data, the agent verifies the transaction via screenshots or transaction IDs. Every action is logged in a centralized audit trail. Errors are flagged for human review.
