One day Mickey was working in his garden when he saw Minnie going down the street
Mickey: Hey! Minnie
Minnie: Hi Mickey. How are you?
Mickey: I am good. What’s up!
Minnie: Nothing!
Mickey: Common, you can tell me
Minnie: I keep hearing this RPA everywhere but do not exactly know about it. I want to know everything from scratch
Mickey: Oh just that, I will tell you a story
Minnie: Wait, can you come with me to the beach, I was actually going there
Mickey: Even better. Let me take Pluto too. Let’s go
Mickey: It is so nice here
Minnie: Yes it is
Minnie: Can you now explain RPA to me?
Mickey: Of course, Minnie! Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is like having a little robot friend that helps with repetitive tasks on a computer. It’s a way to make computers do things automatically, just like a robot!
Minnie: Oh, that sounds interesting! But what kind of tasks can they help with?
Mickey: Well, imagine you have a big basket of toys that you need to sort and put away. Normally, you would have to do it all by yourself, which can be time-consuming. But with an RPA robot, it can help you by picking up each toy, figuring out where it belongs, and putting it away in the right place. That way, you can have more time to play!
Minnie: Wow, that would be so helpful! So, RPA robots do tasks on the computer?
Mickey: That’s right, Minnie! RPA robots work on a computer and use special software to automate tasks. They can fill out forms, copy and paste information, send emails, and even move files around. It’s like having a little helper that knows how to use the computer to get things done faster and more accurately
Minnie: That’s amazing! Can you give me more examples of what RPA robots can do?
Mickey: Absolutely! Let’s say you have a big list of numbers that you need to add together. Instead of doing it manually, an RPA robot can do the calculations for you, saving you time and effort. They can also help with things like checking inventory, updating databases, or even answering frequently asked questions on a website
Minnie: That sounds really handy! So, RPA robots can do all these tasks automatically?
Mickey: Yes, exactly! Once you set up the robot and teach it what to do, it can perform the tasks over and over again without getting tired or making any mistakes. It’s like having a reliable friend that can take care of repetitive work, so you can focus on more fun and important things!
Minnie: Mickey, this Robotic Process Automation sounds really cool! Are there different tools or software that help create these RPA robots?
Mickey: Absolutely, Minnie! There are various tools and software available to create RPA robots. One popular tool is called UiPath. Think of it as a special toolbox that provides all the necessary things to build and train your RPA robot. It has a user-friendly interface that allows you to drag and drop different actions and commands to create the robot’s workflow
Minnie: Oh, like building with blocks! That sounds fun! Are there any other tools?
Mickey: Yes, Minnie! Another widely used RPA tool is called Automation Anywhere. It’s like having a virtual assistant that helps you automate tasks. With Automation Anywhere, you can record your actions on the computer and then play them back to perform the same steps automatically. It’s as if you have a little helper who remembers and repeats all the things you did
Minnie: That’s so cool! So, these tools help make the process of creating RPA robots easier, right?
Mickey: Exactly, Minnie! These tools provide a platform for designing, building and managing RPA robots. They have features like drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built actions, and even AI capabilities to make the process more efficient. They make it easier for people, even those without extensive coding knowledge, to create their own RPA robots and automate tasks
Minnie: Wow, that’s amazing! I can’t wait to try creating my own RPA robot someday. Thanks for telling me about these tools, Mickey!
Mickey: You’re welcome, Minnie! It’s exciting to see how these tools empower people to automate tasks and make their lives easier. Who knows, maybe you’ll become an RPA expert one day and create innovative robots of your own!
Minnie: That’s really cool, Mickey! I never knew robots could help with computer tasks like that. Thanks for explaining it to me!
Mickey: You’re welcome, Minnie! It’s fascinating how technology can make our lives easier. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll create your own RPA robot to help with your tasks!
Minnie: I am getting this
Mickey: Glad to know this
Minnie: I am now ready to go deeper with RPA
Mickey: Do you want to go and play on the beach?
Minnie: No, I just want to sit with you and watch the sunset. Thank you, Mickey.
Mickey: I am always here for you 🙂
