What does UIPath do?

The TL;DR

UIPath helps people automate rote, repetitive manual tasks like updating spreadsheets, creating documents, and sending emails. 

• Work that we do tends to be repetitive and manual – pretty much anything with a process like forms, compliance, etc.

• Traditional approaches to automation use exposed APIs from software to hack together scripts – but many apps don’t have those APIs available

• UIPath literally records the work you do (click here, scroll there) and then lets you replay it, automatically, whenever you want

• You can also build basic forms, workflows based on conditions, make HTTP requests – pretty much anything 

UIPath is definitely enterprise-first (just check out their website), and it’s working – they went public at a $35B valuation in April 2021.
