Beyond robotic process automation
UiPath is the leading RPA platform focused on automating repetitive desktop tasks.
Overview
UiPath excels at automating repetitive, rules-based tasks through software robots. However, RPA alone struggles with unstructured data, requires significant maintenance, and doesn't provide the system integration and AI capabilities needed for true end-to-end automation.
