Task Mining
UiPath’s Task Mining is a cutting-edge AI-powered tool designed to capture every mouse click, keystroke, and hotkey performed by your team members during their daily workflows. By collecting this rich data, Task Mining helps you visualize detailed task variations, identify bottlenecks, and discover automation opportunities with unprecedented precision.
Key Benefits
- Accelerated Process Discovery: Task Mining automates the collection and analysis of task data, reducing reliance on manual process documentation and traditional consulting methods.
- Objective Insights: Provides data-driven visibility into task performance, enabling stakeholders to prioritize automation efforts effectively.
- Actionable Deliverables: Generates essential automation assets such as Process Definition Documents (PDD) and automation-ready XAML files, streamlining the development process.
- Privacy and Compliance: Fully compliant with GDPR and other privacy regulations, ensuring secure and ethical data handling.
Core Capabilities
- Capture user actions: Monitors mouse clicks, keystrokes, hotkeys, and screenshots.
- Analyze with AI: Converts raw data into insights, process maps, and automation opportunities.
- Accelerate Automation: Generates Process Definition Documents (PDDs). Produces XAML files (used in UiPath Studio for automations).
Task Mining (Preferred)
- Guided by the user
- Visual and editable task graphs
- Annotations for clarity and refinement
- Ideal for high-impact, well-defined tasks
Unassisted Task Mining
- Background recording of user activity
- Process maps of tasks across users
- Requires more manual analysis
- Captures full user activity in pre-selected apps
Example of Task Mining
- Identify the invoice entry process as a task you want to automate.
- A selected employee runs the Task Mining recorder while performing the task.
- The tool captures every action (clicks, keystrokes, navigation) during the task.
- A visual task graph is generated showing each step of the process.
- The analyst reviews and adds annotations or merges task variations.
- The system produces a Process Definition Document (PDD) and XAML file ready for automation.
