This startup's 'software robots' are taking the jobs of low-skilled office workers ZDNet

Software robots can perform human tasks, such as reading screens, saving email attachments, and importing info into a company's database. The $30m raised last week by UiPath, which builds apps to automate repetitive office work, is the largest investment a Romanian startup has ever received. Its tools are used by leading companies working in financial services, insurance, and healthcare, and each software robot license can replace up to five low-skilled full-time human employees, UiPath says. New robotic process automation tools can take over mundane data entry and other process tasks for your IT team. The firm's software robots mimic human users.
