Zoho RPA
Chennai, India
What it is
Zoho RPA records and automates repetitive tasks across cloud and desktop systems, including web and legacy applications. Its Recorder captures task steps to create workflows, and listed automation areas include Windows, web, Excel, files and folders, OCR, PDF and intelligent document processing. Zia can draft workflows from plain-language instructions, including triggers, steps, error handling and exception routing. Enterprises can connect AI features to their licensed OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini models using Bring Your Own Key. Pre-built tasks cover more than 1,000 cloud apps, but cloud app actions require a separate Zoho Flow subscription and count against Flow limits. The free plan is free and includes 3 executions per billing period, 1 production flow and 30 days of history. Each successful run counts as an execution, and monthly allowances do not carry over. A flow can contain at most 149 actions. Windows, Mac and Linux agents are listed, though Mac and Linux currently support web automation only. The platform offers a 15-day trial and a free plan.
