Robotic Process Automation
Robotic Process Automation Overview
Going from simple, back-office task
automation to scaled automation to handle
time-consuming business processes can be a
challenge. The IBM Robotic Process
Automation offering helps you automate more
businesses and IT processes at scale with
the ease and speed of traditional RPA.
Software robots, or bots, can act on AI
insights to complete tasks with no lag time
and enable you to achieve digital
transformation.

Benefits
RPA and AI — A comparative study
While designing a business function we need to assign roles than RPA would be the “doer” while AI would be the “thinker”. As discussed above RPA is a robot that mimics human functions and will do only what it’s told to do and doesn’t have the capability to think on his own else. AI, on the other hand, is all about analyzing data stacks and processing them using its intelligence. In a business process, RPA would be the perfect option for filling the data into forms and you might need AI in order to differentiate which data needs to go where on the form. This collaboration of RPA & AI to accomplish the task is called Automation Continuum.
