Hel Tech is the top tech meetup in the town, but now for obvious reasons gone online mode. Organized on the first Monday of each month the event covers a variety of top-notch tech topics.

October 2020 event was all about Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and I was in the lineup to talk about our approach to adding intelligence to the automation workflows.

In very short, we advocate for high-efficiency ML solutions that an RPA developer can deploy without engaging the data science team and ending up with a long sciency project and high effort maintenance. It is a sure way to kill the ROI of common RPA use cases, where agility and nimbleness of a solution is the main benefit.

ML API’s with direct integration to RPA platforms is where you should be looking first, as they are able to solve a huge amount of use cases. Be sure to check out our solution, Aito.ai! :)

The entire stream is available at Hel Tech Youtube channel for replay.

My slides are available as PDF in Slideshare.

Thanks, Hel Tech, for having me!
