UiPath stock trades at about a quarter of its IPO price, Microsoft now bundles Power Automate Desktop into Windows for free, and Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism (SS&C) are quietly rewriting their identity from "RPA company" to "agentic AI platform." Meanwhile in Korea, Samsung SDS Brity Works, LG CNS Aircuvate, Hyundai AutoEver RPA, and Shinhan Bank RPA still run thousands of bots in finance and manufacturing. In Japan, NTT WinActor, Fujitsu RPA Express, BizteX cobit, RoboPat DX, and the well-known case at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank carry the back office of large enterprises. On top of that, Celonis, ABBYY Timeline, and Microsoft Process Mining define a process-mining layer, while UiPath Document Understanding, Hyperscience, Rossum, ABBYY FlexiCapture, and Tegaki define a document-understanding (IDP) layer. This article walks all of it in one breath — attended vs unattended bots, desktop automation vs API-first, OCR plus document understanding, the "RPA is dead, long live agents" narrative, process mining and task mining, citizen developers, RPA Center of Excellence (CoE), governance, bot identities and secrets, license plus infrastructure plus maintenance costs, the agentic-AI pivot with UiPath Agent Builder, AA Agent Studio, Power Automate AI Builder Agents, and Korean enterprise adoption (Samsung SDS, LG CNS, Hyundai AutoEver, Shinhan Bank) and Japanese adoption (NTT WinActor, Fujitsu RPA Express, BizteX, RoboPat, MUFG). The goal: a clear decision-grade view of whether to start, scale, or sunset RPA in 2026.

UiPath 주가는 IPO 가격의 1/4 수준이고, Microsoft는 Power Automate Desktop을 Windows에 무료로 끼워 팔고 있으며, Automation Anywhere와 Blue Prism(SS&C)은 "RPA 회사"에서 "에이전트 AI 플랫폼"으로 자기 정체성을 다시 쓰고 있다. 한편 한국에서는 삼성SDS Brity Works, LG CNS Aircuvate, 현대오토에버 RPA, 신한은행 RPA가 금융·제조 현장에서 여전히 수천 봇을 돌리고, 일본에서는 NTT WinActor, 富士通 RPA Express, BizteX cobit, ロボパットDX, 三菱東京UFJ銀行의 ある事例가 大企業의 백오피스를 받치고 있다. 그 위로 Celonis · ABBYY Timeline · Microsoft Process Mining의 프로세스 마이닝과 UiPath Document Understanding · Hyperscience · Rossum · ABBYY FlexiCapture · Tegaki의 문서 이해(IDP)가 새로운 레이어를 깔았다. 이 글은 그 전 영역을 한 호흡으로 본다 — 어태티드 vs 언어태티드 봇, 데스크톱 자동화 vs API-first, OCR + 문서 이해, "RPA는 죽었다 LLM 에이전트 만세" 내러티브, 프로세스 마이닝 + 태스크 마이닝, 시민 개발자, RPA CoE, 거버넌스/봇 ID/시크릿, 라이선스 + 인프라 + 유지보수 비용, UiPath Agent Builder · AA Agent Studio · Power Automate AI Builder Agents 같은 에이전트 AI 피벗, 한국 엔터프라이즈 채택(삼성SDS · LG CNS · 현대오토에버 · 신한은행), 일본 채택(NTT WinActor · 富士通 RPA Express · BizteX · ロボパット · MUFG). 2026년에 RPA를 새로 시작할지, 운영을 줄일지, 에이전트로 바꿀지 정리한다.
