Decision intelligence vs RPA: RPA repeats the step; decision intelligence prepares the decision.
RPA (robotic process automation) repeats the clicks and copy-paste steps a person makes on screen, following fixed rules. Decision intelligence works out from the data which step should be taken, shows its reasoning and, after approval, writes the result to the system through a connector. One automates the task; the other automates the decision.
| Aspect | RPA | Decision intelligence (Veraius) |
|---|---|---|
| What is automated | The task: known steps | The decision: which step to take |
| Input | Screens and the user interface | The data in your systems, through ready connectors |
| Resilience to change | Can break when a screen changes | The data connection does not depend on screens |
| Uncertainty | Without a rule it stops or gets it wrong | Shows the options and their risk; the decision goes to a person |
| Reasoning | None | Every recommendation shows which data it came from |
| Approval | Usually outside the process | Every step that posts a record or makes a payment waits for approval |
They can work together: decision intelligence prepares what should be done, and the approved action is written to the system through a connector.
What your teams gain from Veraius agents.
Budget against reality
Planned and actual spend are compared by cost centre, and variances above your threshold are escalated with their cause.
See the Finance agents SalesKnow which lead is worth the call
Inbound leads are scored hot, warm or cold from their behaviour and fit, and routed to the right owner.
See the Sales agents ManufacturingCapacity against orders
Open orders are compared with available capacity so delivery risk shows before a due date is missed.
