AI Journey 2024: Service as a Software Shift Ensures Success
In my previous blog, I talked about the next generation of intelligent automation applications that will be created using AI, Generative AI, RPA, and low-code user interfaces. There has been much discussion lately about what’s next for RPA and how it can work with AI. In April, Google demoed next generation AI Agents, which use a blend of true AI, Generative AI, and RPA functionality to interact with applications. These agents work on top of the applications to ensure a productive desktop experience. I believe that this is the next-generation of desktop automation, taking it a step further and thinking about using RPA to interact with an application on the front and back end and provide decisioning through orchestrated AI, all as part of a seamless simple user interface. One can imagine a very powerful next-generation application. This application will be extremely agile as it will need to change as the human workflow evolves. These will not be static apps but will morph and change to meet the needs of the workflow. In addition, AI will need maintenance and care as it’s completely dependent on high quality data. Models will need to be maintained and updated. Also, RPA will need to be supported as it will play a key role in the Orchestration and integration of the AI Agent.
