From simple Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to autonomous AI (agentic AI), business automation is entering an explosive phase driven by the convergence of next-generation artificial intelligence (GenAI) and hyperautomation. According to McKinsey and Forbes, by 2030, more than 70% of enterprises will adopt AI agents to automate not only repetitive processes but also complex decision-making tasks.
In Vietnam, with rapid digital transformation and the strong growth of e-commerce, this represents a major opportunity for small businesses—such as online stores on store.bbotech.vn—to take the lead by adopting these trends early. This article explores the key trends, real-world impacts, and how businesses can prepare to avoid being left behind.
Business automation has evolved through several stages:
– RPA (2010s): Rule-based automation (clicking, copying, pasting).
– Intelligent Automation (2020s): Combining RPA with AI/ML to process unstructured data.
– Agentic AI & Hyperautomation (2025–2030): Autonomous AI agents that can make decisions, learn independently, and orchestrate multiple tools without continuous human intervention.
1. Agentic AI – Autonomous AI replacing complex work: No longer limited to answering questions, AI agents will plan and execute multi-step tasks autonomously (e.g., analyzing sales data → proposing marketing campaigns → deploying and measuring results). According to UiPath and Gartner, agentic AI is expected to dominate the automation market by 2026–2027.
2. Hyperautomation – End-to-end automation: The integration of RPA, AI, ML, GenAI, and low-code platforms to automate entire value chains. InRule and Blue Prism forecast that hyperautomation can reduce operating costs by 40–60% and increase processing speed by up to 10x.
3. Human–AI Collaboration: AI will not fully replace humans but will significantly augment human productivity. Employees will focus on creativity and strategy, while AI handles the rest (Aspen University & WEF).
4. Ethical governance and AI management: With higher autonomy, businesses must adopt “governance-as-code” to ensure AI transparency, security, and legal compliance (including data protection regulations such as Vietnam’s PDPA).
5. Practical applications in e-commerce:
– AI agents that automatically optimize product pricing based on market conditions.
– Inventory demand forecasting with over 90% accuracy.
– Advanced chatbots that autonomously handle up to 95% of customer complaints and close sales.
Opportunities: Increased efficiency, scalable growth without increasing headcount, and enhanced global competitiveness (especially for Vietnamese businesses selling online internationally).
Challenges: Job displacement in repetitive roles (WEF forecasts: 85 million jobs lost but 97 million new jobs created between 2025–2030). Businesses must invest in workforce reskilling and AI literacy.
Security & ethics: Higher data risks require choosing trustworthy technology partners.
The future of business automation is no longer about “whether to adopt” but “how to lead.” With agentic AI and hyperautomation rapidly approaching—especially from 2026 onward—Vietnamese businesses, from startups to online stores, have a unique opportunity to accelerate digital transformation in a sustainable way.

There is no single price for a business chatbot. A chatbot built only to answer a few FAQs on a website has a very different cost structure from one that needs AI responses, CRM integration, multi-channel support, knowledge base access, and human handoff. The better question is not simply “how much is a chatbot?” but […]
A useful automation ROI tool should not start with a generic promise about how much automation will save. It should start with one real workflow that already consumes time, creates repetitive effort, or causes delays and errors. The more practical approach is to enter frequency, manual handling time, labor cost, current error volume, and an […]
Before go-live, it is not enough to check whether the website loads or the chatbot responds. What matters is whether the system works end to end: forms submit correctly, chatbot handoff works when needed, emails reach inboxes reliably, and automation flows log, alert, and recover from errors in a controlled way. Why a […]
For a self-hosted package, the goal is not to start with the biggest server possible. The goal is to use infrastructure that matches the actual workload, is easier to control, and can recover cleanly when something goes wrong. At a minimum, the business should be clear about when a dedicated VPS is needed, how backups […]
For an SME, a landing page, chatbot, and email sequence create value only when they work as one connected flow. The landing page focuses attention, the chatbot handles the first response and early qualification, and email keeps the follow-up moving so leads do not get lost. This version is written in a case-study style to […]
A regular website usually helps people understand your business, explore services, and move across multiple types of information. A landing page is more focused. It is typically built for one campaign, one audience segment, and one primary action such as filling out a form, requesting a consultation, downloading a resource, or booking a call. A […]
