What is Agentic AI?

The next frontier in artificial intelligence has arrived. Agentic AI operates autonomously with minimal human oversight. Unlike traditional AI that executes pre-defined commands or generative AI that can only create within set boundaries, agentic AI makes goal-driven decisions independently within the confines of its assigned task, adapting its approach as needed. It is your organization’s versatile problem solver.

Agentic Automaton is the natural evolution of RPA.

“Since our inception, we have helped our customers revolutionize their businesses by emulating humans through robotic process automation. Now, we’re advancing enterprise automation with agents, allowing customers to automate entire end-to-end processes and orchestrate workflows seamlessly. The result is more substantial business outcomes, greater productivity, and more customer-facing direct benefits from automation.”

The Key Characteristics of Agentic AI

Beyond Traditional Automation: The AI Agent Advantage

AI agents elevate automation by enabling autonomous decision-making and complex task handling across previously challenging workflows. The integration of intelligent agents with existing automation formats creates a powerful ecosystem that further enhances operational efficiency:

Time Savings That Matter: Processes that required nearly 6 minutes when performed manually can be reduced to just 30 seconds with help from smart agents, returning 91% of your time to more complex tasks.

Get More Done, Automatically: While traditional RPA and intelligent automation solutions may only handle 70% of a workflow, adding agents can increase this to 91% or more by minimizing the need for human intervention and input.

This intelligence-driven approach allows for new levels of scalability by processing unstructured data and adapting to new situations without constant reprogramming.

Proactivity

Anticipates needs, taking initiative rather than merely reacting to commands or situations.
