Description
Welcome to the first edition of BotTalks Wednesday!
The weekly Reddit series where we Anil Gorthi (Industry Expert, Digital Transformation Leader) https://www.linkedin.com/in/anilgorthi and Ashok (Tech Lead, Automation Strategist) https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashokkarale unpack the evolving landscape of automation, UiPath, and digital transformation.
Each week, we’ll drop a theme, share our perspectives, and open the floor for the community to weigh in. Let’s build a space where ideas flow, strategies sharpen, and innovation scales.
This week’s topic: The shift from RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to APA (Agentic Process Automation).
Shift in Approach:
RPA: Rule-based bots for structured, repetitive tasks. Delivered efficiency, compliance, and cost savings.
APA: Powered by GenAI, LLMs, and cognitive automation. Agents understand goals, adapt to ambiguity, and collaborate with humans. Shift from task automation to outcome orchestration.
Shift in Mindset:
Business Users: From “Can a bot do this?” → “Can an agent accelerate outcomes?”
Developers: From rigid workflows → adaptive digital co-workers
Organizations: From cost-saving automation → innovation and human amplification
The shift from RPA to APA isn’t just happening - it’s accelerating. Whether you’re a developer rethinking workflow, a business leader exploring agentic outcomes, or simply automation-curious, your perspective matters.
Drop your thoughts below:
What excites you about APA?
What challenges do you foresee?
How are you preparing for this evolution?
Let’s build this conversation together - one insight, one Wednesday at a time.
