4:55 Will AI Replace RPA Developers

For me point 1 hits the most. One additional problem can be on the other spectrum as well, if we create complex governance then our "quick" wins aren't that quick at all.

Learning curve is something that is keeping me at night but I think this is something that all developers strugle with currently

[Fedgery]

Great video! I’m a newbie RPA at my current employer and we’re just starting to ramp up so this is all great info!

Maintenance is hell with these, trying to read others automation is also hell

The last point about vision models also called multi modals is interesting. This means the technology is already there to make most RPA jobs redundant. It is matter of time before the code is created to automatically write the RPA template through use of videos of the screen with the steps that the business users want to automate. It can track even all the videos of multiple user sessions and itself decide what to automate.

Our Business process Analyst always make sure that the errors / scenarios that bot may encounter will be mentioned in the PDD itself for business Sign off before development, this acts as shield that its not developers mistake for those errors.
Coming to the graph you have shown we follow the same format for iteration planning in 3 x 3 matrice effort vs Benifits.
I don't think AI can't over take Uipath automations for atleast 5 years especially where something like dynamic selectors/ selector issues come. Coming to powerAutomate, I have just started with it for automations can't be done with uipath, so I kept its copliot quiet busy with all questions

What you are saying is 100% true, I really felt working with UiPath/AA -expectation is too high whereas things are not like that and then there are a lot of issues that are actually at the first place are not the best for automation/simply worst for test automation but who can make the upper management understand.

Very nice topic ! I'm still a bit worried about AI in this industry.
The progress is somehow really fast.

As a consultant who works on improving processes and using UiPath (and now AI) to improve business performance, I'm not as worried about being "replaced." Still, the constant churn in UiPath and AI makes interviewing for just the UiPath side of a position difficult. Answering a "How would code this" has completely changed in the last ten months, especially as it relates to document analysis. How well do I know Python? Well enough to ask ChatGPT to create a short macro and then Invoke Code, but not well enough to memorize all the detailed formatting. Does that mean that I know Python? Academically, no. Practically? Hmm. As for the points you make, I tell people that robots are happy, not-so-bright dogs that are good at following directions. It may take a while to train (program them) so you get the same outcome every time. But change the pattern (my dog prefers blue balls), and the dog gets confused. You have to keep up with the training, and the owner really needs more training than the dog. It helps - sometimes, but its often oversold.

So what would be a career to get into that AI wouldn’t dominate or not for long which covers most things needed to work in IT

Humans will be needed for the computers short comings, but they wont be as in-demand as they were, meaning they will be paid much less. Being paid less will make RPA developers choose other jobs
