HCLSoftware plans to integrate Robotiq.ai’s RPA capabilities with HCL UnO Agentic, its platform for coordinating AI agents and enterprise workflows. The integration is intended to help AI-driven systems execute tasks within business applications, including situations where application programming interfaces (APIs) are unavailable or insufficient.

The move addresses a key requirement for enterprise AI adoption: enabling AI systems not only to analyse information and coordinate workflows but also to carry out tasks across existing software applications.
