Let's Start Simple
1.Manual Car
This is the starting point, where everything depends on human effort.
Example: A child plays with a manual toy car, pushing it around using their
hand. If the car gets stuck, the child has to physically move it around the
obstacle. The car cannot do anything on its own.
Characteristics:
• Entirely dependent on the user for movement.
• No automation or intelligence—every action is manual.
• If the child doesn’t push it, the car does nothing.
In the context of automation:
The manual car represents No automation at all—every action in a task is
done by a human.

2.Remote-Controlled Car (RPA):
This is the first step toward automation—tasks are easier but still require explicit
instructions.
Example: Now, the child gets a remote-controlled car. The car moves forward,
backward, and turns based on buttons pressed on the remote control. The child
doesn’t need to physically push the car anymore, but they still need to guide it.
Characteristics:
• The car follows commands given via the remote.
• It performs repetitive actions but cannot think or adapt.
• If an obstacle appears, the child must manually steer it around the obstacle
using the remote.
In the context of automation:
The remote-controlled car represents RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
RPA automates repetitive tasks but relies entirely on pre-programmed instructions
and cannot handle anything outside of those instructions.
Example in the real world: An RPA bot processing invoices by extracting data from
fixed formats.

3.Autonomous Car (Agentic AI):
This is the leap to intelligence and independence—no manual intervention is required.
Example: The child now has an autonomous car. The car has sensors, a camera, and intelligence
built in. If you tell the car, “Drive to the other side of the room,” it:
• Perceives the environment (using its sensors to detect obstacles).
• Plans the best route to reach the other side.
• Acts by driving itself, adjusting the route in real-time if something unexpected appears (like a
toy in its path).
Characteristics:
• The car works independently based on its understanding of the environment.
• It adapts to changes and solves problems without needing explicit instructions.
• It is goal-oriented: If its path is blocked, it recalculates and continues toward the goal.
In the context of automation:
The autonomous car represents Agentic AI.
Agentic AI can perceive, plan, and act autonomously, making it capable of handling complex and
dynamic scenarios.
Example in the real world: An agentic AI system in business might handle customer complaints
by analyzing emails, deciding the best response, and executing the required actions—without
needing step-by-step guidance.

Take Away
Manual Car
Entirelyhuman-driven—no automation at
all. Everything dependent on Human and
No Automation
Remote-Controlled Car (RPA)
Automates repetitive actions but requires
explicit control and guidance. Actions are
predefined
Autonomous Car (Agentic AI)
Fully independent, capable of perceiving,
planning, and acting to achieve goals
without constant human intervention.

Who will Fetchthe Ball ?
Imagine you’re playing in a park with a ball, and you accidentally
kick it into the bushes.

Who will Fetchthe Ball ?
How Scout (Agentic AI) Works:
1. Understanding: Scout notices that the ball is missing and sees where it went.
2. Planning: It thinks, “The ball is in the bushes. I need to go around the bench
and carefully pick it up.”
3. Action: Scout rolls over, avoids obstacles like a puddle and a rock, grabs the
ball, and brings it back to you.
Instead of you having to go fetch it, there’s a helpful robot called “Scout”
You didn’t need to tell Scout step-by-step what to do. You simply said, “Scout, the ball is gone!”
and it figured out everything else.

Why Scout isAgentic AI?
Perception
It noticed the ball was gone and saw
where it went.
Planning
It decided how to reach the ball,
avoiding obstacles.
Action
It retrieved the ball and returned it
to you and wait for next Instruction.

• The UiPathGenAI Activities package is an advanced feature set
that empowers developers to integrate generative AI capabilities
directly into automation workflows.
• This package provides access to UiPath-managed large language
models (LLMs) from multiple third-party providers, without requiring
users to handle complex subscriptions or setups.
