The correct answer isC, which highlights one of the core limitations of traditional rule-based automation (RPA) — itsinability to handle unstructured tasks that require human-like reasoning and contextual awareness.
According to UiPath’s Agentic Automation documentation, traditional automation excels atrepetitive, rules-based, structuredtasks. However, it struggles when:
Input data isunstructured(like emails, PDFs, or chat logs)
Tasks requirecontextual understanding, decision-making, or judgment
Processes span across systems with unpredictable flows (e.g., CRM + ERP + email)
This is exactly whereAgentic Automationsteps in. It augments classic automation by embeddingLLMs, AI agents, and decision intelligenceto manage tasks involving ambiguity, variability, and natural language — things traditional bots cannot handle well.
Options A, B, and D are incorrect or misleading:
A is false because traditional automation isnotflexible across varied workflows.
B is theoppositeof traditional automation — it's agentic.
D is inaccurate because RPA handles repetitive, structured tasks very well — that’s its strength.
By addressing C, UiPath bridges the gap between deterministic automation and intelligent, adaptive systems that can trulyscale across complex, real-world business scenarios.
