The Reliability Paradox: You Bought More Automation Tools, and Your Team Is Doing More Manual Work
UiPath, Wednesday, August 26th, 2026
UiPath argues fragmented automation and AI agents create new reliability risks that shared orchestration addresses.
UiPath's Kuber Sharma describes a reliability paradox: automation reduces toil inside individual tasks, but a fragmented estate of automation tools and AI agents generates new operational work between them.
Each tool optimizes its own domain while context is lost at every handoff, leaving site reliability engineering teams to reconstruct what happened across systems during an incident.
The post argues that shared orchestration is what resolves this, letting SRE teams preserve context across automated actions, recover safely when something fails partway through, and actually reduce the operational toil the tools were bought to eliminate.
