- a: "RPA generally does not count as an AI agent because it follows fixed steps rather than selecting new actions from observed results, a line [IBM draws the same way](https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/ahmed-alsareti/2025/11/04/rpa-vs-agentic-ai-transforming-enterprise-automati) between script-driven execution and goal-driven agentic AI. In Sim, fixed workflow blocks can handle predictable steps while an Agent block can choose tools and revise its approach at runtime. This distinction helps teams reserve agents for work that requires adaptation instead of adding unnecessary complexity to stable processes."
