Technical Definition

Software technology that uses 'software robots' to automate repetitive, rule-based digital tasks and streamline business processes.

How it works

RPA automates human interactions with digital systems, mimicking user actions in applications, filling forms, and extracting data. It's distinct from physical robotics but uses AI to follow predefined rulesets for structured tasks. RPA enhances efficiency and accuracy in back-office operations.
