My talk at Hel Tech RPA event
Small AI is the next big thing in RPA. See my talk on-demand, check out the slides with some further reading links from this collection post.

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.
