Intelligent process automation path from RPA to agentic AI [Video]

As automation technology advances, a new wave of agentic AI is reshaping the landscape. Discussions are increasingly focused on whether to build intelligent automation on top of robotic process automation (RPA) or approach intelligent process automation as a whole.

Ten years ago, script-based automation was in focus. Slowly, RPA came into focus, according to Vaibhav Bansal (pictured, left), vice president at Everest Group.

“We had robotics or rules-based automation, robotic desktop automation and robotic process automation. Companies like UiPath have been pioneers of that,” Bansal said. “In the past three to four years, what we’ve been largely hearing, is intelligent automation.”

Bansal and Anish Nath (pictured, right), practice director at Everest Group, spoke with theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante and host Rebecca Knight at UiPath Forward 2024, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the evolution of intelligent process automation and UiPath Inc.’s strategic position in the automation ecosystem. (* Disclosure below.)
