As UiPath Forward 7 kicks off in Las Vegas this week, many are eager to hear about the latest advancements in AI and automation, ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐š๐ฌ๐ค ๐š๐ง ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: are we seeing true transformation, or just the next iteration? I personally was surprised to see UiPaths introduction of its use of Agentic tasks and processes. It certainly can be seen as undeniably exciting, and the promise of expanding automatable tasks by tenfold sounds groundbreaking, yet weโ€™ve seen similar claims before. ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐€๐ ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐œ? ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐š๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ค๐ž๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ, ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ง๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž.

Can UiPath deliver this level of innovation, or are we simply being asked to buy into the hype around AI agents and automated workflows that look suspiciously like repackaged RPA solutions?

Yes, the customizable learning tracks and high-profile speakers are appealing, but what businesses really need is more transparency around how these innovations will translate into measurable business outcomes. How will these so called breakthroughs meaningfully reduce complexity for organizations already struggling with digital transformation?

At the end of the day, adoption rates and true ease of use will be the test. The point here is not to come off as harsh or critical. ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ, ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฐ๐žโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐š๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก ๐š๐๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ, ๐ฐ๐žโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ž๐œ๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒโ€™๐ฌ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ.
