What is RPA?

Software robots automate repetitive computer tasks.

📖 Key ideas

RPA uses software bots to mimic human actions on computers: clicks, typing, copy-paste.
Good for rule-based, repetitive, high-volume tasks.
Examples: invoice entry, report generation, data migration, email processing.
Leading tools: UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Microsoft Power Automate.
Bots work 24×7 with fewer errors.

💡 Real-life example: An RPA bot is a tireless digital assistant doing the same data-entry steps perfectly every time.
