1. A method of computerized process automation, comprising:
recording inputs of a computing device user to generate a log of inputs by the user in connection with one or more applications with which the user interacts to perform one or more tasks, wherein the log includes the inputs of the user and information pertaining to the one or more applications;
processing the log to identify the one or more applications and to identify fields in the identified one or more applications;
generating a user action file and storing at least the identified one or more fields to the user action file;
processing the user action file to identify one or more actions performed by the user with respect to the identified one or more applications; and
generating a new software robot which is encoded with instructions to automatically perform, when invoked, the identified one or more actions performed by the user with respect to the identified one or more applications.
