Automating the Enterprise with Foundation Models

Summary: ECLAIR uses multimodal foundation models to automate enterprise workflows end-to-end, replacing brittle RPA by interpreting natural-language workflow descriptions for instant setup. Experiments report 93% workflow-understanding accuracy and 40% zero-shot completion; highlights human-AI validation, monitoring, and self-improvement as core data-management research problems.
