Abstract
Technical solutions are described for a machine-assisted workflow execution. An example method includes selecting a workflow for interactive execution, the workflow includes a sequence of workflow steps, and responsively, identifying a preliminary update for the workflow from a data source. The method further includes authenticating the data source, and if the data source is a trusted data source, pulling the preliminary update from the data source and modifying the workflow dynamically. The method further includes selecting a workflow step for execution, and responsively, pulling an updated information for the workflow step from the data source. The method further includes executing the workflow step using the pulled updated information, the execution including changing a target system. The method further includes accumulating execution information and pushing the execution information to the data source upon completion of the workflow step.
