What we are building

Mimica's mission is to accelerate the discovery and deployment of automation with AI. 

Our first product, Mapper, learns patterns from employee clicks and keystrokes, identifies key steps, decisions and repetition, and generates “blueprints” for automation. Today, it supports RPA teams, that build software bots for repetitive computer tasks such as data entry, form completion and claim processing. Alongside creating process maps for automation, we've introduced Miner, which helps enterprises identify and prioritize automation opportunities.
