OpenRPA
OpenRPA is open-source robotic process automation software for building workflows and coordinating robots through OpenCore.
What OpenRPA is
OpenRPA is open-source robotic process automation software for building workflows and coordinating robots through OpenCore. It runs on Windows and automates Windows applications, SAP, Java, browsers, mainframes, images, and Microsoft Office through native integrations. Workflows can include inline C#, VB, Python, PowerShell, or AutoHotKey code, and triggers can respond to events such as file changes, keyboard input, or Outlook out-of-office status. Robots may be assisted, using interactive forms, or unattended and managed by OpenCore over RDP. Unattended robots can be self-healing and run at high density. Picture-in-picture operation lets a robot work in a screen corner over RDP while the main desktop remains available. OpenRPA and OpenCore are free to use; licensing, hosting, and consulting are priced on request. The project lists community forum help and commercial support, while partners offer paid training, installation, and troubleshooting. The public repository lists the MPL-2.0 license. Windows 11 users can try an alternate download if the software fails to start or crashes.
