Key Differences

Lumay: Agentic AI

AI-Native Architecture: Built from the ground up with AI at its core, not RPA with AI added on
Handles Ambiguity: Processes unstructured data, understands context, makes intelligent decisions
Natural Language: Users interact via conversation, no complex workflows to design
Adaptive Learning: Agents improve over time based on interactions and feedback
Rapid Deployment: Implement in days, not weeks or months
Autonomous Agents: Make decisions and take actions without constant human oversight

UiPath: Traditional RPA

RPA-First Platform: Traditional automation with AI features added later
Rule-Based: Requires structured data and predefined rules, struggles with exceptions
Visual Workflows: Requires technical design of automation flows
Static Automation: Bots follow scripts, don't learn or adapt
Complex Implementation: Weeks to months to deploy, requires extensive configuration
Robotic Execution: Follows predefined scripts without decision-making capability

Use Case Performance

📄 Document Processing with Unstructured Data

Lumay

AI understands context, extracts meaning from varied formats, handles exceptions intelligently. 95%+ accuracy on unstructured documents.

UiPath

Requires structured templates, struggles with variations. Document Understanding AI helps but still template-dependent.

💬 Customer Service Automation

Lumay

Natural conversation, understands intent, provides contextual answers, learns from interactions. Handles 80%+ of inquiries without escalation.

UiPath

Can automate backend tasks but limited conversational AI. Requires integration with separate chatbot solutions.

🔄 Complex Multi-System Workflows

Lumay

Agents orchestrate workflows across systems, make decisions at each step, handle exceptions autonomously. Adapts to system changes.

UiPath

Strong workflow orchestration, but requires predefined paths. Breaks when systems change or exceptions occur.

📊 Data Analysis & Decision Support

Lumay

AI analyzes data, identifies patterns, provides insights, recommends actions. Natural language queries for complex analysis.

UiPath

Can automate data collection and basic reporting. Limited analytical capabilities, requires separate BI tools for insights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Lumay replace our existing UiPath bots?

Yes, Lumay can replace UiPath bots for most use cases, especially those involving unstructured data, decision-making, or natural language interaction. Many customers run both in parallel during transition.

Is Lumay more expensive than UiPath?

Lumay typically offers better TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) due to faster implementation, lower maintenance, and transparent pricing. While UiPath may appear cheaper initially, implementation and ongoing costs often exceed Lumay's all-inclusive pricing.

How long does it take to migrate from UiPath to Lumay?

Most migrations can be completed in 2-4 weeks for pilot projects, 2-3 months for full deployment. Lumay's implementation team provides migration support and process mapping.

Does Lumay integrate with UiPath?

Yes, Lumay can integrate with existing UiPath deployments via APIs, allowing for hybrid automation strategies where appropriate.
