Speaking on the latest development, Devesh Rao, CEO and Co-Founder of AutomataPi, said, “Our automation platform enables enterprises to automate their complete lifecycle of business processes.

The technology is backed by AI, ML, and NLP, which converts unstructured data sets into structured entities required for processing and smooth integration with existing operational systems.
