IBM watsonx Orchestrate automates your time-consuming tasks, so you can focus on the work that matters most to you.

The skills catalog in watsonx Orchestrate contains 1000s of prebuilt skills to help you accomplish a wide range of tasks.

FAQ
Do I need to know which skills are required to complete a task?

When you make a request, Orchestrate automatically executes an action based on the systems you connect to with your credentials. All you need to do is ask.


Do I have to start from scratch with every request, every time I interact with Orchestrate?

When you initiate tasks, Orchestrate saves basic knowledge about your previous requests so you can quickly pick up from where you left off and it can deliver faster results. And you don’t have to repeat yourself.
