Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Hi Maurizio. Im here

Hi Maurizio,

I can’t speak on behalf of the product owner, but our department relies heavily on IBM RPA - we currently operate more than 700 bots. We work closely with the IBM RPA team, and they’ve been very helpful with our requests. From my perspective, IBM RPA isn’t going anywhere, it’s continuously being developed and improved.

Hope this helps.

Hey Maurizio,

From what I've seen, IBM RPA is still being maintained and enhanced, and looks to be getting integrated into IBM’s broader automation strategy. While updates have slowed, IBM is investing heavily in AI, especially through watsonx and agentic AI. These technologies are designed to complement and extend RPA, enabling more intelligent, scalable automation across the enterprise.

Best Regards,

Martin Medina

Hi Maurizio, 

I am the Product Manager for IBM RPA and UIAgent. We are continuously investing on both IBM RPA and UIAgent. With UIAgent we are targeting the citizen developer, business user persona, where they can create simple web automations without code. UIAgent is currently in closed beta offered through IBM RPA SaaS. Aside from the command commands required for web automation, with UIAgent we are continously pushing boundaries on what UI tasks users can accomplish through Natural Language expressions and leveraging the power of LLM's.

On IBM RPA, we are continuously monitoring and prioritizing customer requests and are releasing meaningful features that not only improve consumability but also extend the features of RPA. 

Please look at our release notes Release notes - IBM Documentation.
