Can someone explain to me where the robots in RPA are? It's just scripting for UIs, the way I understand it

- ozim 5y agoThey stand in marketing bullshit because they sound cool.
- honey-badger 5y agoIt's a terrible name that has unfortunately stuck. Deliberate obfuscation.
- ragebol 5y ago100% agreed. I do actual robots (you know, that drive around and pick stuff up etc) and get LinkedIn messages for doing RPA. Read my profile!
- honey-badger 5y agoDamn! You are like the bystander who gets taken out during a gang raid in your neighbourhood.
- 8organicbits 5y agoHere's an example (not mine). This was likely built via UI, so this is generated XML. https://github.com/rohanbaraskar/UiPath-11/tree/master/Automate_Salesforce https://github.com/rohanbaraskar/UiPath-11/tree/master/Autom... There's not much RPA code on GitHub, which seems like a red flag to me. I suspect there's more hype than actual work happening.
