AI GLOSSARY
Robotic Process Automation
RPABusiness & Product
Software that automates repetitive, rule-based tasks by mimicking how a human interacts with digital systems — clicking buttons, filling forms, copying data between applications. On its own, RPA is brittle: it follows scripts and breaks when something changes. Combined with AI, it can handle more varied and less predictable inputs, making it useful for back-office workflows that don't fit neatly into a single software platform.
