Introducing RPI: Bridging the Gap
The New Concept
As a team of forward-thinking Xennials, we're excited to share a new concept that could revolutionize the way we interact with API software. Businesses often require rapid proof of concepts (POCs) to stay ahead of the competition. However, many systems and businesses suffer from processes that need APIs that don't exist. Most enterprise systems either don't include APIs or have limited API capabilities. There are some solutions to this problem like creating Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools that can quickly prototype solutions, but RPAs are prone to instability. This is why we'd like to share our theory for something we're calling RPI.
RPI
We'd like to coin the term RPI (Robotic Programming Interface) to describe how we’ve been able to bridge API and RPA. RPI offers the best of both worlds by being able to talk to RPA bots through a common API. This takes advantage of the speed of prototyping, plus adds the additional benefit of swapping RPA bots out as API finally becomes available. RPI's seamless integration enables businesses to leverage automation, even when dealing with systems that have minimal API support. This allows companies to create RPIs that can execute tasks in the same way a human would. RPI creates a multitude of benefits for the user including speed and convenience, the possibility to bypass the need to build an API for a specific program and reduces dependency on a single RPA vendor. One example we can use to demonstrate the power of RPI could be the need to receive information in a discreet way without having access to the internet.
Changing The Game
Let's say you are at dinner with a very important client, and they begin to discuss specific information that you do not understand. All you would need to do is write a text message to our RPI phone number and the RPI will send the prompt directly to ChatGPT and text you back an in-depth answer taken from ChatGPT that is more insightful than trying to dig through information on a Google search. This provides an efficient and effective way to extract valuable insights from the AI model while completely bypassing several steps in the process, saving you time.
RPI will be a game-changer for businesses looking to harness the power of automation. By combining the flexibility of an API interface with the functionality of RPA, RPI offers a new avenue for rapid and efficient POCs. We believe that embracing RPI is a vital step toward a future where technology serves us better and helps us overcome limitations in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
