This guide breaks down how RPA and agentic AI actually work, when each approach makes sense, and how to evaluate whether your automation strategy is ready for the next generation of intelligent agents.

The absence of an official API doesn't mean you're stuck with manual workarounds or copy-paste workflows. This guide walks through the practical methods for connecting to software without APIs, from file transfers and database connections to browser automation and unified API platforms, along with how to choose the right approach for your situation.

Deck, the infrastructure platform turning the entire web into an API, today announced that former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald Jr. has joined as a strategic investor. To mark the partnership, Deck is launching a new campaign featuring Fitzgerald, drawing a parallel between his legendary hands and Deck’s ability to "catch" and secure complex integrations.

Every integration decision comes down to a trade-off: speed versus control. Native integrations get you connected in minutes but lock you into predefined functionality, while API integrations offer unlimited flexibility at the cost of development time and ongoing maintenance.

Agentic workflows are AI-driven processes where autonomous agents make decisions, take actions, and coordinate tasks with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional automation that follows rigid scripts, these systems reason through problems, adapt to unexpected situations, and refine their own approaches to achieve specific goals.

Authentication agents promise better security and smoother user experiences. But the real value—the kind that shows up in budgets and roadmaps—often hides beneath the surface.
