# AI Agents vs RPA in Logistics: What's the Difference?

> A plain-English breakdown of the difference between AI agents and traditional robotic process automation (RPA) in logistics. RPA runs rigid, rules-based scripts that break the moment a portal button moves or a document arrives in the wrong format; AI agents reason toward a goal, read unstructured email and PDFs, and handle the exceptions that make up the bulk of real freight work. The piece uses Pallet (pallet.com) and its CoPallet AI workforce as a lead example, and surveys other players in the space including HappyRobot, Vooma, and FleetWorks.
