Although I myself am new to RPA I’ll try explaining you in short. RPA is basically automating your tasks through software, such as sorting emails which belong to a certain recipient. This sounds like a small task which can be done by a real person but when you look at the larger picture automating several of such tasks saves up a lot of time. Hope you got an idea about RPA. AI is simply a simulation of humans which tries to achieve results as close to human results through constantly updating algorithms.

+1, An example of AI would be the suggested posts which you see on your social media platforms. The AI analyses your interests based on how much time you spend looking at specific post or ad and then shows you relevant suggestions.

Hello Jina,
Thank you for clearing my basic doubts.
Could you please elaborate on what are the major differences between AI and RPA?

Well the key difference here is that RPA is used to work alongside humans by substituting petty tasks which unnecessary resources where as AI is specifically designed to replace actual humans from a specific work process. That’s a really important factor of RPA which many a times people misunderstand.
