So you can get a general sense for how we'll use UiPath to create software robots, here I'll give you a rapid-fire end to end demo of building a simple robot. Don't panic if you don't understand everything I show here. I will provide much more detail in future individual lectures.
UiPath provides a "community edition" version of their UiPath Studio & Orchestrator products. In this lecture we'll take a close look at who can use them and for what purposes.
I'm always happy to answer questions about using UiPath for RPA, but I'm not always available quickly. Given that there is a forum with many experienced active users, it can be a good idea to go there for questions you need answered quickly.
If you don't have any programming skills, definitely consider my RPA Tech Primer course where I show how UiPath can do the same thing programming can, only easier!

You've probably noticed that AGENTIC AUTOMATION or AGENTIC AI are the hot new buzz words lately. Vendors and consultants are pushing it like crazy because it's one more way to get companies to throw more money at them! What they AREN'T telling you though is that RPA automations still perform about 80% of the work beneath the surface of "Agentic Automation". The LLM simply charts a course and decides which tools to use... and those TOOLS (often RPA automations) do the heavy lifting!
So... if you're NOT learning robotic process automation (RPA), you will FAIL trying to implement Agentic Automation.
In this top-ranked course, 4-time UiPath MVP Bryan Lamb will provide you with a the most critical UiPath Agentic RPA Developer skills for robotic process automation work including:
UiPath platform installation
UiPath Studio & Orchestrator Orientation
Core UiPath Studio RPA skills
Variables
Control Flow (Decisions, Loops, Switches)
Debugging
Error Handling with Try/Catch
Web automation (modern design experience)
Desktop app automation (modern design experience)
Breaking a process into reusable sub-components
Excel automation (modern design experience)
Database automation (modern design experience)
EXCLUSIVE! - Mainframe automation (no other course anywhere teaches this skill!)
My goal is to help you get up and running with UiPath Agentic RPA Developer processes and best practices faster than any other method, so you can start saving time & money at your company, and level up your career!
