UiPath
Build your own software robots to handle repetitive desktop tasks, free for individual use.
Overview
UiPath is a robotic process automation platform that lets you build software robots to handle repetitive desktop and application tasks, and its Community edition is free for individual use. Studio provides a visual, low-code builder for automations, while the Community Orchestrator handles scheduling and monitoring of your robots. Autopilot AI actions add a layer of smarter, context-aware automation on top of traditional rule-based bots. Unlike no-code automation tools that only connect APIs, UiPath can drive legacy desktop applications and websites that were never built with automation in mind, which makes it the right tool when Zapier or Make can't reach the system you need to touch.
