Kognitos vs UiPath
UiPath automates screens. Kognitos automates processes. See why enterprises are replacing brittle drag-and-drop bots with hallucination-free AI automation in plain English.
Next-gen AI automation
vs. legacy drag-and-drop RPA.
| Dimension | Kognitos | UiPath |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | English as Code — natural language | Drag & drop visual scripting |
| Target User | Business users (no developers needed) | RPA developers, IT teams |
| AI Architecture | Neurosymbolic AI: deterministic + learning | Rule-based bots; AI add-ons (Document Understanding) |
| Knowledge Capture | ✓ Living SOPs — tribal knowledge captured and refined | ✗ None — knowledge stays in developer scripts |
| Hallucination Risk | ✓ Zero — neurosymbolic, process-oriented | N/A — deterministic but brittle |
| Self-Healing | ✓ Auto-adapts; learns from human guidance | ✗ Breaks on any UI change; manual fixes required |
| Governance | ✓ Built-in audit trail, explainability, regression testing | ~ Enterprise tier only (limited) |
| Time to Value | Days (minutes with pre-built workflows) | Weeks to months |
| Maintenance Cost | Minimal — self-healing, no developer dependency | High — dedicated RPA CoE required |
| Best For | Complex back-office automation at scale | Structured, unchanging screen-scraping tasks |
Why enterprises choose Kognitos
over UiPath.
Business Users Build Automations
UiPath requires trained RPA developers who use a visual designer to script bot interactions. Kognitos lets the people who know the process — finance analysts, operations managers, compliance officers — build and modify automations by describing them in plain English. No code, no developer bottleneck.
Self-Healing vs. Break-and-Fix
UiPath bots break every time a UI element changes — a button moves, a field is renamed, an application updates. Each break requires a developer to diagnose and fix. Kognitos's patented Process Refinement Engine resolves exceptions automatically, encoding every fix permanently. 90% of exceptions are auto-resolved after their first occurrence.
Institutional Knowledge Captured
With UiPath, process knowledge stays locked in developer-owned scripts and individual expertise. When people leave, knowledge walks out the door. Kognitos captures tribal knowledge as living SOPs — documented, AI-refined, continuously improving automations that belong to the organization, not to individuals.
12× Lower Maintenance Cost
UiPath enterprises typically maintain a dedicated RPA Center of Excellence with multiple developers to keep bots running. Kognitos eliminates this overhead entirely — self-healing automations, no UI-dependent scripts, no developer dependency. Enterprises report 12× lower ongoing maintenance costs.
