SUMMARY
Use AI Activity Creator to convert existing paper forms, checklists, and spreadsheets into digital Activities. AI Activity Creator reduces manual setup by automatically generating structured Activities that can be reviewed, edited, and deployed within Factbird.
WHAT THIS IS
AI Activity Creator is an AI-powered feature within Connected Operations that helps digitize paper-based workflows.
Instead of manually rebuilding forms, you can upload an existing document, such as a paper checklist, printed form, or spreadsheet, and AI generates a structured digital Activity. The generated Activity can then be reviewed, edited, and published before being used by operators on the shop floor.
AI Activity Creator is designed to accelerate the transition from paper-based processes to standardized digital workflows while reducing manual configuration.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many manufacturing processes still rely on paper forms or spreadsheets that are time-consuming to maintain and difficult to standardize.
AI Activity Creator helps you:
- Digitize existing documentation without manually recreating forms.
- Standardize activities across production lines and sites.
- Reduce the time required to build new Activities.
- Support more consistent operator execution.
- Simplify the rollout of digital quality checks, audits, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
WHEN YOU WOULD USE THIS
Use this when:
- Converting paper forms into digital Activities.
- Digitizing existing quality checklists.
- Creating digital SOPs from printed documentation.
- Standardizing operator workflows across multiple production lines or sites.
- Replacing spreadsheet-based production records.
HOW IT WORKS
AI Activity Creator analyses uploaded documents and identifies the structure of the form, including fields, labels, tables, and other content.
The AI then generates a draft Activity that can be:
- Reviewed.
- Edited.
- Expanded with additional fields.
- Published for operators to complete.
The generated Activity behaves like any other Factbird Activity and can be configured with triggers, locations, and additional workflow settings before deployment.
KEY TERMS / COMPONENTS
AI Activity Creator
- An AI-powered feature that converts paper forms and similar documents into digital Activities.
Activity
- A digital workflow used by operators to complete production, quality, or operational tasks.
Draft Activity
- The editable version created by AI before it is published.
Connected Operations

COMMON MISUNDERSTANDINGS
- AI Activity Creator generates a draft that should be reviewed before deployment.
- Existing Activities can still be created manually without using AI.
- AI Activity Creator converts existing documentation into Activities; it does not automatically deploy them to operators.
