From RPA to AI-Driven Automation: An Upgrade, Not a Migration
Webinar Description
Title: From RPA to AI-Driven Automation: An Upgrade, Not a Migration
Hosted by n8n and Avanai
Description:
For a decade, RPA did its job by driving the same screens a person would, because that was the only way in. That world is gone. Your systems now expose APIs, and AI models can read a document, weigh options, and take an action on their own. Yet most automation programs still price per robot and per seat, a model built for the screen era. The license bill is the visible cost. The bigger one is invisible: every automation that never gets built because it doesn't justify another robot.
n8n and Avanai are teaming up for a practical session on what it actually takes to move the right parts of an RPA estate onto an AI-native automation layer, without throwing away what your team has already built.
Who should attend: Automation and AI leaders, Enterprise architects, AI leadership and governance teams, CFOs, CHROs, Finance and Accounting leaders, Transformations leaders and the CIO office evaluating what to do with a mature RPA program now that AI agents are on the table.
You'll walk away with:
A working framework for sorting any automation estate into what moves, what stays, and what gets switched off, and why that third pile is usually bigger than people expect
A live example of Agentic Process Redesign: how seven separate RPA bots running Procure to Pay collapse into one orchestrating agent
Where to draw the line on what should never touch a model's judgment (payment postings, regulatory submissions, master data updates)
Numbers pulled from real conversions: 50 to 67% of license cost typically released, a $2.2M year-one cost avoidance at a global telecoms operator, and 78,000 hours a year released at a top 10 pharmaceutical company
