What is robotic process automation (RPA)?

In short

Robotic process automation uses software bots to carry out repetitive, rule-based computer tasks the way a person would, such as copying data between systems, filling forms, or processing invoices. It works across existing applications without changing them, freeing staff from tedious work and reducing errors. RPA suits high-volume, predictable processes, and is increasingly combined with AI to handle less structured tasks.
