On January 24, 2023, causaLens, the London-based deep tech firm and a leader in Causal AI, announced the release of decisionOS, the first operating system to leverage cause-and-effect reasoning for all aspects of an enterprise's decision-making.
Causal AI is a technology that recognizes the underlying web of causes in order to provide essential decision-making insights that current machine learning fails to deliver. The technology is rapidly gaining traction, with 'big tech' businesses such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Google, Spotify, Netflix, and Uber investing extensively in its research. It was recently highlighted in multiple Gartner hype cycles.
decisionOS optimizes business decisions by incorporating Causal AI models into decision workflows at any organizational level. Now, enterprise users across all industrial sectors will be able to comprehend cause and effect relationships to generate actionable insights that take consider company objectives and resource constraints instead of just relying on past patterns and correlations to make predictions. Retailers, for example, can utilize decisionOS' recommendations and insights to determine the optimum pricing for individual products across specific locations while keeping the current business environment in mind.
decisionOS can integrate all of an enterprise's decision workflows serving as a unique one-stop system, including product pricing and promotion, customer acquisition, retention, optimizing manufacturing processes, marketing spending optimization, demand forecasting, supply chain risk management, inventory and order management, and many more.

Software AG | March 20, 2023
Software AG has launched a new ChatGPT API Connector for its webMethods.io integration platform. This will allow companies to integrate OpenAI’s new generative AI tool into their business processes to enhance a number of functions, including customer services.
Any company with multi-stage or customer-relevant processes — such as the stages in a retailer's product fulfillment and delivery cycle — can use ChatGPT to help send out updates. Companies in industries from retail to banking to logistics can rapidly decrease the time taken to deliver fully personalized updates to explain any delays or problems. For example, manufacturers are finding that the digital experience is now a priority for partners and customers, as they demand faster and more efficient access to products and services.
Even when data and systems are connected, personalization is often limited to the customer’s name and order details. Now ChatGPT brings in a greater understanding of the status of a process and the ability to automatically generate personalized updates — in a hybrid human/machine approach — to be more empathetic than standard responses.
“ChatGPT has become a very hot topic, and businesses are looking at how they can make the most of it,” said Dr. Stefan Sigg, chief product officer at Software AG. “While there are seemingly endless possibilities, we’re happy to bring some very practical options to life right away. Companies that can move from generic communication to genuinely personalized messages will find that they can deliver a higher level of service to their customers. At the same time, we have seen over the last year or two rapid acceleration in the levels of technical debt, the management of which can be helped with ChatGPT.”
Generative AI can support digital transformation initiatives and tackle the technical debt left in its wake. Recent Software AG research found that companies, on average, are spending 21% of their IT budgets on managing technical debt. The same technical resources needed for clearing technical debt are needed for building digital transformation initiatives. By identifying where ChatGPT can contribute to tasks like legacy code conversion or automation of processes, companies can free up valuable developer time for the most productive, highest-value projects. Generative AI can help with these mission-critical efforts.
All of these functions work best in a hybrid approach of people and technology, but ChatGPT significantly speeds up the time and resources needed.
“Companies are constantly looking for ways to differentiate themselves, especially in an era of continual disruption,” Sigg said. “Of course, the possibilities of ChatGPT extend way beyond these initial use cases. The most important thing is that there is a straightforward way for companies to get started. We’ve launched this new API Connector for webMethods.io so that organizations can begin to use generative AI without having to spend lots of time and resources developing the integrations for it.”
