Rules-based automation or an AI agent?

Both automate work. The difference shows as soon as something unexpected happens.

Situation Rules-based automation AI agent
A document arrives in a new format The flow breaks or skips it Reads it and carries on
An exception comes up Stops and creates a ticket Handles it, or asks a person
Free text, emails and PDFs Needs fixed fields Understands the content
A decision is needed Only fixed rules Weighs the context, within limits you set
A system or screen changes Needs rework by a developer Tries another route and alerts you if it can’t
Best for Fixed, predictable steps Work that needs reading, judgment and several systems

Not every process needs an agent. When a process is fully predictable, simple automation is faster and cheaper, and we will tell you so.

How we build your AI agent

From choosing the process to an agent in production, in five steps. After each step you decide whether to continue.

  1. Pick the right process

    Together we choose the process where an agent delivers the most, and agree on what it may and may not do.

  2. Proof of Concept

    A working agent on your own data and systems in one to four weeks, so you see it work before you invest further.

  3. Build and connect

    We build the agent in short sprints and connect it to your systems, with a demo after every sprint.

  4. Go live with checks

    The agent starts with human approval on the important steps. As trust grows, you decide what it does on its own.

  5. Monitor and expand

    We monitor every run, improve the agent and add the next tasks or agents once the first one delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are AI Agents, and how do they differ from traditional automation?

    AI Agents are sophisticated, autonomous software programs designed to perceive their environment, reason, learn, and act to achieve specific goals, often without constant human intervention.

    While traditional automation follows pre-defined rules, AI Agents leverage machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and other AI technologies to understand context, adapt to new situations, and make intelligent decisions.

    This allows them to handle complex, dynamic tasks that go beyond simple rule-based processes, such as intelligent customer support, dynamic resource allocation, or predictive maintenance.
