What is a key difference between Attended and Unattended Automations in UiPath?

The key difference between Attended and Unattended Automations in UiPath is the level of human involvement and interaction required for the automation to run. Attended Automations are designed to assist human users with their tasks, such as filling forms, validating data, or providing guidance. They are triggered by the user and run on the user’s machine, usually in the foreground. They are best suited for smaller, fragmented tasks that need human input or decision making. Unattended Automations are designed to perform complex and repetitive tasks without human intervention, such as processing invoices, generating reports, or updating databases. They are triggered by a schedule, an event, or an API call and run on dedicated machines, usually in the background. They are best suited for large-scale, batch-mode tasks that need high reliability and scalability.
