From the course: Introducing Robotic Process Automation

Welcome to the future of work

- It's impossible to miss, automation, AI agents, and autonomous systems are showing up everywhere. We're now in what I call the agentic era, a time where software doesn't just follow our instructions, it collaborates, learns, and even takes initiative. This course focuses on one critical layer of that new reality, robotic process automation or RPA. Without the stability and reliability of RPA, none of it works at scale. We'll explore RPA's definition, benefits, and what makes a well-designed solution. We'll see how RPA fits into the larger automation spectrum and understand why even as AI gets more autonomous, RPA remains indispensable.
