Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is like having a virtual assistant for repetitive tasks on a computer. It's a type of software that can mimic what a human does on a computer, like clicking buttons, typing, copying and pasting, and following a set of instructions. Imagine you have to do the same boring computer tasks every day, like copying data from one spreadsheet to another. RPA can be taught to do this for you, saving you time and effort.
