OpenRPA

What it is
OpenRPA is free, open-source robotic process automation software for building workflows, with robots orchestrated by OpenCore. It runs on Windows and provides native automation for Windows applications, SAP, Java, browsers, mainframes, images, and Microsoft Office. Workflows can embed C#, VB, Python, PowerShell, or AutoHotKey code. Triggers can react to file changes, keyboard input, and Outlook out-of-office status. The software supports assisted robots with interactive forms and unattended robots managed by OpenCore over RDP. Unattended robots can be self-healing and high-density, while picture-in-picture operation lets a robot work in a screen corner through RDP. OpenRPA and OpenCore are open source and free to use; licensing, hosting, and consulting are priced on request. Community and commercial support are listed, with paid partner training, installation, and troubleshooting. The public repository lists MPL-2.0.
