OpenText’s MyAviator: Slashing Knowledge-Worker Workflow Time by 95 %
by Ethan Rhodes – Workplace strategist & productivity coach
Remember that first moment you saw autocomplete nail an entire sentence for you? MyAviator is that feeling, multiplied by a thousand and strapped to a jet engine. Unveiled today, July 8, 2025, OpenText’s new personal AI assistant promises to wipe away up to 95 % of the drag in everyday workflows—and after a week of kicking the tires in early access, I’m convinced it’s a genuine leap forward, not just another shiny gadget.

What Exactly Is MyAviator?
Think of MyAviator as the enterprise-grade cousin to the consumer bots you’ve been flirting with. It lives inside the OpenText ecosystem, meaning it plugs directly into the documents, workspaces, and approval chains you already use. At its simplest, it can:
- Search anything (PDFs, spreadsheets, videos) in plain English and spit out instant answers or summaries.
- Auto-generate meeting briefings, onboarding kits, FAQs, and even podcast-style audio from dense reports.
- Redact personal data, translate on the fly, and prep legal exhibits without ever leaving your secure environment. More info
The secure part matters. Unlike public LLMs that chow down on your prompts for training, MyAviator keeps your data fenced off behind enterprise-grade governance. If you’re in a regulated industry—healthcare, finance, energy—this alone might be the deal-maker.
The 95 % Claim—Hype or Real?
OpenText’s own benchmarks show Aviator tech automating up to 95 % of manual test script creation, chopping days off software releases. Extrapolate that to every repetitive knowledge-work chore—search, summarization, formatting—and the math starts to check out. Benchmark
In my limited hands-on, converting a 47-page compliance report into a one-page executive brief took 28 seconds, versus the 45-minute slog I logged last quarter. That’s a 96 % time drop, and I didn’t even tweak the prompt.
Why This Matters for You
For years I’ve coached teams who treat information like a game of “hot potato”—toss it to the next person, hope they find what they need, repeat. The real bottleneck is context switching. Every time you alt-tab from reading a contract to drafting a summary, your brain pays a toll. MyAviator kills that toll booth by letting you ask, “Summarize clauses 7–9 for marketing language” and pasting the result straight into your deck.
Five Ways to Put MyAviator (or Any Enterprise AI Assistant) to Work Today
- Morning Sweep: Pipe yesterday’s Slack threads, ticket comments, and meeting transcripts into MyAviator. Get a bullet digest and focus on what actually moved the needle.
- Template Turbo: Feed the AI one “gold standard” proposal or policy. In seconds it can draft a fresh version for a new client or jurisdiction, pre-formatted and compliance-checked.
- Instant Retro Meetings: After a sprint demo, drop the Zoom recording in and ask for wins, blockers, and proposed experiments. Circulate before people even pour coffee.
- Redaction & Review: Hand over lengthy vendor contracts. MyAviator will flag sensitive PII, suggest redactions, and spit out a clean copy ready for outside counsel.
- Knowledge-Base Mining: Have 10 years of SharePoint chaos? Ask MyAviator to pull every onboarding doc, summarize common FAQs, and push them into your help-center in one afternoon.
Pro-Level Workflow Stack
Here’s the workflow stack I’m recommending to coaching clients starting next week:
- Capture: Send any raw input (documents, audio, spreadsheets) to a Staging folder that MyAviator watches.
- Clarify: Use conversational prompts to clarify intent—“What’s the one-sentence takeaway?” or “Show me compliance risks.”
- Create: Generate deliverables—slides, briefs, code snippets—directly in the tool you’ll publish from (PowerPoint, JIRA, CMS).
- Confirm: Human-in-the-loop review stays mandatory. You’re not outsourcing judgment; you’re killing drudgery.
- Circulate: MyAviator pushes finished assets to the right workspace, tags stakeholders, and logs a transcript for audit.
Run that loop twice a day and you’ll feel hours flow back into your calendar—hours you can pour into strategy, customer calls, or (wild thought) lunch away from your desk.
Final Take
I’ve tested hundreds of “AI productivity” products in the past two years. Most shave off 5–10 % of friction; a lucky few hit 30 %. MyAviator’s first outing is the first time I’ve seen results north of 90 % in real-world paperwork. That doesn’t just move the needle—it melts it.
