I know very little about RPAs as neither my career nor hobbies require it. However, I do a lot of research and my piles of transcripts, documents, SM bookmarks, etc have gotten out of control and need organizing. So, I wanted a way to leverage AI and automation to do that for me, even if I know it will have some hiccups, and have help downloading loads of transcripts from web apps that don't have filing systems where you can "download all" but instead require individually going to each transcript to get the filetypes I need.

Upon looking around, many of the RPAs, including two I tried (TaskMagic and Zerowork), are limited to the browser, and, even then, they have the cookie issue to deal with. (Sidenote: Zerowork, IMO, was far easier to learn, faster, and perfect in execution than TM, and is going to be essential in what I'm doing). U-Xer, has neither of those limits since it's interacting with whatever is on my screen, whether that's folders, already open webpages, or even design software.

It's a little time-consuming troubleshooting a workflow using combinations of selectors, keyboard strokes, and other tricks when you're lumping together such a variety of programs and needs like I am, but it absolutely works. The documentation is clean and simple, and one thing I love is once you get a handle on your options, you can write them while you're on the go and then copy and paste them later to see how they run. And, again, the ability to just use an already opened webpage/app without opening a new browser or logging in is HUGE.

I successfully created a workflow to get all of those transcripts and had it run while I was at work, saving me so much time for such a menial task.

One feature I would LOVE to see is for them to make it so your agent can see what's on multiple monitors, and allow you to bypass your laptop and use an external monitor as the "primary" screen. Right now, I only can get it to run on what's on my laptop screen which is a bit cramped.

Thank you, U-Xer for your take on this RPA genre. Looking forward to implementing it a lot as I go forward.
