Description
When we think about the state of automation today, we are no longer just talking about robots performing repetitive tasks. There is now a new generation concept; “Agentic Automation”.
So, what does this new generation of automation mean and what role does UiPath play here?
Agentic Automation enables an RPA robot to operate with a more “intelligent” approach, going beyond the classic ‘if-then’ logic. Such automation systems can make certain decisions and optimize their processes autonomously, without the need for human intervention. In other words, it is a digital agent that not only performs the process, but also manages, develops and optimizes it. This agent becomes increasingly autonomous, supported by technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Agentic Automation enables software “agents” to act autonomously, empowered by technologies such as big language models (LLM), artificial intelligence (GenAI), and advanced action models (LAM). These agents can perceive their environment, analyze the situation by asking questions, and take action to achieve specific goals. In this process, humans do not have to directly manage the operation of the robots, because agentic automation keeps the workflow going by analyzing data on their own, generating new questions, drawing conclusions and configuring the processes necessary to complete tasks.
Here are some of the key features of Agentic Automation:
Self-learning: Robots can continuously improve themselves through the situations they encounter.
Decision-making capability: It can respond to dynamic changes and choose the best path for specific tasks.
Adaptability: It can quickly adapt to unexpected changes in business processes.
Why Agentic Automation is important?
Traditional RPA and AI-based automation solutions are here to stay, but agentic automation is shaping the future of automation. Thanks to this technology, it is now possible to fully automate even complex and unpredictable business processes. Even workflows that could not be automated before can be managed with this new generation of automation. This enables companies to automate end-to-end business processes.
UiPath and Agentic Automation
UiPath, which has revolutionized the RPA industry, is also the pioneer of the Agentic Automation trend. Especially in recent years, UiPath’s strong integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into its platform increases its impact in this field.
1-) AI and ML Integration
UiPath integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning into its systems to expand the boundaries of RPA. This not only enables robots to follow set rules, but also to learn and make decisions on their own in new situations. For example, when a UiPath robot encounters an unexpected error in a process, it can take an alternative path based on the knowledge it has already learned.
2-) Automation Ops: Continuous Improvement
UiPath features such as “Automation Ops” and “Automation Hub” allow robots to analyze processes in real time and optimize their performance. This enables continuous process improvement with an agentic approach. Robots not only perform a process from start to finish, but also offer suggestions to make that process more efficient.
3-) More Control with Less Intervention
One of the biggest benefits of Agentic Automation is the ability to provide more control with less human intervention in processes. Thanks to the advanced control and analysis tools offered by UiPath, you can get complete visibility over the processes while the robots carry out their tasks independently. This enables businesses to increase efficiency while reducing operational costs.
As someone who has developed RPA with UiPath, I believe that Agentic Automation will revolutionize the industry. This new generation of automation systems will not only accelerate business processes, but also create a fundamental change in the digitalization of the workforce. And we will be at the center of this change.
