ASON: Open-Source Project + PeopleWorks Enhancements

ASON (Agent Script Operation) is an open-source project created by Alexander Russkov, Product Manager at DevExpress. It's a DSL (Domain-Specific Language) designed to automate operations in XAF applications through declarative scripts.

PeopleWorks Services has taken ASON to the next level with a revolutionary implementation:

  • ✨ Zero-Code UI - Complete visual configuration without writing ASON scripts
  • 🤖 AI-Powered - Automatic script generation from natural language
  • 📊 Real-Time Monitoring - Live statistics and metrics dashboard
  • 📜 Comprehensive History - Complete audit trail with results and errors
  • 🔄 Visual Scheduling - Flexible scheduling (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly)
  • 🎯 AI Task Suggestions - AI suggests contextual automated tasks
  • 🔥 Scheduled Analysis - Automatic analysis with rich HTML + ECharts

Agradecemos a Alexander Russkov por su contribución a la comunidad XAF. Nuestra implementación democratiza ASON para usuarios no-expertos y lo integra con IA.

🔴 OPTIONAL ADVANCED FEATURE

GraphRAG: Beyond Simple Queries

AI that understands business relationships, not just data retrieval

Traditional AI (Vector RAG)

User: "Why did sales drop?"

AI: "Searching for 'sales' and 'drop'..."

Result: 10 documents about sales.
You still don't know WHY.

  • Retrieves data
  • Can't explain "why"
  • Isolated answers
  • You connect the dots

GraphRAG (Relationship Intelligence)

User: "Why did sales drop?"

AI: "Tracing relationship graph..."

Result: "Campaign X ended → 20% drop in new customers → 15% sales decrease"
EXACT answer with full context.

  • Understands relationships
  • Explains "why" and "how"
  • Connected answers
  • AI connects the dots

🎯 Real-World Use Cases

🔍

Root Cause Analysis

"Why do sales and accounting never match?"

GraphRAG shows: "Sales includes pending invoices, Accounting only counts paid ones. Path diverges at Invoice → Payment step."
🌊

Business Process Visualization

"Show me order fulfillment process"

GraphRAG maps: Order → Inventory → Picking → Shipping → Delivery → Invoice → Payment → Accounting Entry
⚡

Impact Analysis

"If we change commission formula, what's affected?"

GraphRAG reveals: Payroll → Accounting → Financial Statements → Dashboard → Forecasting (6 systems affected!)
📜

Audit Trail

"Show approval chain for Invoice #12345"

GraphRAG traces: Created by John → Manager A approved → CFO rejected (reason: exceeds budget by $25K)

The Technology Behind It

GraphRAG combines Knowledge Graphs (maps all relationships), Graph Database (Neo4j or Apache AGE), and AI Reasoning (navigates multi-hop connections).

300%

Improvement in complex query accuracy

10x

Faster root cause analysis

Neo4j Community Edition (free)

GraphRAG is OPTIONAL

XAF AI Extensions works perfectly without GraphRAG. Start with Vector RAG (included), upgrade to GraphRAG when you need advanced relationship queries. Just flip a switch in settings.

✅ Base

Vector RAG • LINQ Queries • AI Analysis • Dashboards

🚀 + GraphRAG

Everything in Base + Relationship Intelligence + Root Cause + Impact Analysis

"GraphRAG is like having a business analyst who knows every connection in your data— and can explain it in simple language. We went from 'search the database and wait' to 'AI shows me the exact 5-step chain that causes the problem.' Total game changer."
