The document discusses the benefits and applications of Agentic Process Automation (APA) as a significant advancement over traditional Robotic Process Automation (RPA), focusing on how it utilizes AI agents and large language models to automate complex tasks. It outlines ways to identify APA candidates using UiPath's discovery products, including Automation Hub, Task Mining, Process Mining, and Communication Mining. Additionally, the document touches on the future impacts of flexible and adaptive systems that integrate human and machine collaboration for improved workflow outcomes.

4. Overview of Agentic Process Automation
Overview
● Advanced automation technology leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs)
● Uses AI agents to manage and execute complex tasks requiring human-like
intelligence
● Significant evolution from traditional Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Key Components
● Agentic Workflow Construction LLM-based agents create workflows from human
instructions
● Agentic Workflow Execution AI agents monitor and manage workflows
● AI Agents Powered by sophisticated AI and machine learning algorithms

8. Discover the Advantages of APA
Benefits of APA
● Increased Efficiency: Automates complex processes, reducing the need for human
intervention.
● Reduced Human Error: Enhances accuracy by minimizing manual errors.
● Adaptability: Adjusts to variable scenarios, making it suitable for diverse
applications.
● Focus on Creative Tasks: Frees up human workers to focus on more strategic and
creative tasks.
Applications of APA
● Manufacturing: Optimizes supply chain management and production processes.
● Finance: Automates complex financial transactions and compliance reporting.
● Healthcare: Streamlines patient data management and billing processes.
● Customer Service: Enhances customer interactions through intelligent automation.

9. Identifying APA Candidates with UiPath Discovery
Products
Automation Hub: Process assessments can be tailored to identity APA
candidates.
Task mining : Assisted Task mining can help with identifying persona based
long running complex tasks along with Agentic Skill Discovery in existing
processes executed by humans.
Process mining : Major Process variations, non conformance and
inefficiencies in existing process will help identity APA candidates.
Communication mining : Large intent frequency requests and low ‘Quality of
Service’ (QoS) scores will help identify APA candidates.

11. Identifying APA Candidates with UiPath
Task Mining(TM)
TM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 1: Long running multi hour end
to end process performed by a person with multiple variations e.g. Tax
filing application .
TM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 2 : Task gets into a multiple
swill chair exchanges between multiple team members and software
programs e.g. Claims processing
TM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 3 : Persona based task catalog
identification which can become the Agentic Skill Discovery activity which
results in updated Agentic tool set e.g. Mortgage Underwriter persona
based agentic toolset for assessing, approving or rejecting mortgages.

12. Identifying APA Candidates with UiPath
Process Mining(PM)
PM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 1 : Identify process areas that are
contributing to non conformance and inefficiencies like frequent bottleneck in
the process e.g. Legal approvals
PM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 2 : Using simulate automation
opportunity to identity critical but non highlighted process steps e.g. Bill of
lading for international carrier
PM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 3 : Process that have many
exception and failures(no auto healing) i.e. rework e.g. IT build deployment
and release process.

13. Identifying APA Candidates with UiPath
Communication Mining(CM)
CM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 1 : High volume priority messages
on a particular intent or cluster e.g. IT support escalation emails
CM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 2 : Tone and Quality of
Service(QoS) is negative for extended period e.g. Mortgage closing
communications.
CM-APA Candidate Identification pattern 3 : Multiple and complex requests
in a single customer or vendor communication e.g. Life insurance policy term
changes along with new address and dependent additions.

14. Discussion on Expected Future Impacts
Highly flexible and adaptive systems: Recent changes improve system
predictability, ensuring reliable workflow execution outcomes consistently.
e.g. IROBOT
Fault tolerant and Auto healing : Process success rate and ROI
improvement due to built in auto healing capability to minimize human
intervention. e.g. Terminator/ Enthiran /ROBO
Human Agent Collaboration : Human and software agents will
collaborate seamlessly to perform work and in near future Agents can
even independently run certain parts of the business functions
independently or minimal human supervision e.g. THE MATRIX
Don’t forget the “KILL” switch for Agents before they infect the whole MATIRX !!!
