What is RPA and why should I learn it?
Check out these videos to see just some of the amazing things that RPA can do:
Document Understanding – Accounts Payable across many systems
Document Understanding and GPT
UiPath & Integrating with Conversational AI
Three ways to Automate the UI of any applications
The What
● Robotic automation uses a software robot to
run application software in the same way that
a person works with that software
● It executes activities or tasks previously
performed by humans across multiple
software platforms
The Goal
● RPA aims to replace repetitive
tasks performed by humans, with a virtual
workforce.
● Leverage your knowledge and skills for more
value-add tasks like judgmental calls, complex
analysis and exception handling

Considerations for RPA use cases:
- High volume & high time saving
- Repetitive Manual process
- Look at things that you or others are doing everyday. How can it be improved by automation,
either in personal or professional life?
- Think about UiPath’s products that you have available to you and what they can do. Bring your
problem statement and your proposed high-level solution (how you are going to use UiPath’s
products and optionally third-party applications) to the Office Hours to seek feedback. Keep in
mind the timelines and think about what you and your team can reasonably accomplish during
this time period.
- Choose use cases that you can be excited about and have a positive impact on your life or
others. Go to https://community.uipath.com/e/mra37c/ to get ideas from example problems
and solutions for each of the three categories!
Tips for Identifying your Use Case

21. 21
• Problem Statement: Briefly mention what is the problem you are trying to solve.
• Solution: What is the solution you proposed and approach you took to solve this problem.
• Technologies: Mention all the technologies used in your solution including the UiPath products.
• Results and Impact: If any data/metrics are derived from your solution, present it to demonstrate the
impact and potential scalability of your project
• Solution Architecture: You can optionally show the solution/technical architecture. Use clear text,
relevant images and diagrams to enhance understanding and engagement.
• Demo: Create a presentable prototype or demo that illustrates core features and functionalities of your
