Agentic AI and BOAT: The Future of Business Automation
Blog post from Orkes
Recent advancements in AI technology have shifted automation from executing predefined tasks to intelligent, adaptive decision-making, with emerging technologies such as Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) and agentic AI playing a significant role. BOAT, identified by Gartner, encapsulates a suite of technologies like RPA, BPA, and low-code platforms, aiming for a unified application platform that provides end-to-end process automation, enterprise connectivity, and collaborative experiences for users. Agentic AI introduces autonomous systems that interact dynamically with their environment, making decisions based on context, real-time data, and evolving objectives, thus enhancing workflow dynamism. The convergence of agentic AI and BOAT empowers businesses to deploy AI-driven orchestration, automate complex decisions, and incorporate human oversight for key decision points, addressing the limitations of traditional automation. This integration is exemplified by Orkes Conductor, which harnesses AI-driven orchestration to create adaptable workflows while maintaining human oversight, thereby enhancing efficiency, agility, and intelligence in enterprise automation.
