Integrating robotic process automations into operating and software systems
Disclosed herein is a computing system that includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The memory storing processor executable instructions for an interface engine that integrates robotic processes into a graphic user interface of the computing system. The processor executes the interface engine to cause the computing system to receive inputs via a menu of the graphic user interface and to automatically determine the robotic processes for display in response to the inputs. The interface engine further generates a list including selectable links corresponding to the robotic processes and displays the list in association with the menu.
