In a landmark development for the tech industry, Boomi™, a pioneering force in intelligent integration and automation, has announced the acquisition of two new patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These patents not only enrich Boomi’s impressive patent portfolio to a total of 36 but also mark a significant stride in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The first patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,886,965, is named “Artificial-Intelligence-Assisted Construction of Integration Processes.” It underpins the advanced technology behind Boomi’s customer-friendly features like Shape Suggest, Quick Start, and the recent Boomi AI. This innovation is a game-changer, especially in simplifying the often complex task of constructing integration processes on an integration platform, catering to users of all expertise levels.
This patent employs sophisticated machine learning models, including Markov chains and various graph neural networks. These models power a predictive guidance system, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of creating integration processes. Ed Macosky, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Boomi, highlighted the impact of this patent, stating, “Our patent award for ‘Artificial-Intelligence-Assisted Construction of Integration Processes’ stands as a notable innovation in the domain of integration platform as a service (iPaaS), and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented team of engineers, scientists, and innovators. The contributions through this patent fundamentally challenge the existing paradigms inherent when constructing integration processes.”
Before this innovation, the construction of integration processes largely depended on the user’s expertise and manual inputs using a drag and drop UI. This could be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for newcomers to the platform. Macosky emphasizes how this AI-driven approach has revolutionized the construction of integration processes into an intelligent, predictive, and guided task.
The second patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,847,167, titled “System and Method for Generation of Chat Bot System with Integration Elements Augmenting Natural Language Processing and Native Business Rules,” is another feather in Boomi’s cap. This patent forms the basis for a technology solution on the Boomi platform, enabling the creation of hybrid chatbots. These chatbots integrate rules-based connectivity, natural language processing, Boomi logic, and AI technologies to streamline and route incoming requests. This technology is foundational for Retrieval Augmented Generation and showcases Boomi’s early innovations in applying AI to integration.
Macosky added, “Achieving these patents reaffirms our commitment to continuous innovation and underscores our position as a leader in the industry. We are excited about the potential impact our AI patents will have for our customers and partners, and we look forward to continuing our mission of driving transformation through intelligent integration and automation.”
These patents solidify Boomi’s role as an innovator and leader in the AI sphere, ensuring that their customers and partners benefit from cutting-edge, AI-driven integration and automation solutions. This milestone underscores Boomi’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and shaping the future of intelligent integration.
