Recently, Real Intelligence, a leader in the field of Chinese artificial intelligence and machine ** process automation (AI+RPA), announced that it has successfully completed a Series C financing of nearly 200 million yuan. This round of financing was co-led by Jintaifu Capital and Anji Wisdom Valley, followed by Anji Liangshan Guochuang. This milestone event marks that Real Intelligence has made remarkable achievements in technological innovation and market expansion, and has been highly recognized by the industry.
Since its establishment, with its excellent R&D capabilities and profound industry experience, Real Intelligence has deployed various "digital employees" for more than 2,000 large customers in various fields such as digital government, operators, finance, energy, and transportation. The company's product line has been continuously iteratively updated, from the first generation of RPA products, to the second generation of products that introduce AI technology, and then to the third generation of "large model + RPA" agent launched today, Real Intelligence has always been at the forefront of the industry.
Looking back on the development process of Real Intelligence, we can see that the company has completed six financings in the past few years, attracting the attention and support of many leading investment institutions and listed companies in the industry, such as Legend Capital, Songhe Capital, Saizhi Bole, Jushuyin Capital, Zhongying Capital, Guangyun Technology, Zhuoyuan Capital, Intel Capital, etc. The participation of these investors not only provides financial support for Real Intelligence, but also brings valuable industry resources and market insights to the company.
Sun Linjun, founder and CEO of Real Intelligence, said that the transition from RPA to Agent was a logical upgrade process. He believes that the form of RPA is to import the designed tasks into the robot, and then deploy a single or multiple robots into the system environment of the enterprise, and control them with a middle platform. This distributed and scalable deployment form is also very suitable for AI intelligent assistants.
In the face of the needs of B-end customer data security protection, we really choose the self-developed base model. On August 16, 2023, the company released a vertical large language model called TARS. The characteristic of TERS is that it is fed a large amount of automated process data, which is conducive to TARS's understanding and dismantling of customer business processes.
The agent is based not only on the base TARS, but also on the combination of visual understanding technology ISSUT and RPA technology. Compared with the API mode, the RPA mode has the advantage of being non-intrusive into the system. By incorporating ISSUT technology, RPA is able to mimic the behavior of a human operating system and operate by recognizing the software on the screen, without causing any damage to the system and data.
Sun Linjun emphasized, "First of all, we must realize that the ability of the agent has a boundary, and it cannot be regarded as an AGI that can solve any problem." He sees the agent as a "digital employee" with a specific role: "At present, the To B field is the scenario where the agent can be delivered, because the position is very subdivided and the definition is relatively clear. ”
Looking ahead, Real Intelligence plans to conduct a public beta test of the agent in early 2024. For individual users, Real Intelligence will launch a PC assistant to solve the needs of long-tail and low-frequency automation, and for ** enterprises, the company plans to launch an employee office assistant.
With the open source of AI technology and the increase of entrants, the competition in the agent track will also intensify. Sun Linjun believes that for RPA enterprises, the knowledge of the industry, the ROI (input-output ratio) of products, and the ability of technological innovation will be the core competitiveness.
The success stories and continuous innovation spirit of real intelligence have undoubtedly set a benchmark for the entire AI+RPA industry. We have reason to believe that in the future, Real Intelligence will continue to promote the development of the industry, create greater value for customers, and establish the image of China's AI+RPA brand on a global scale.
