Public Funding for Mimica Automation Limited

Mimica uses AI to identify and describe automation opportunities for knowledge work. Our products allow clients to increase by 3x the number of automations they deploy each year. Leading Fortune 500 companies purchased our product. Professional and financial services (PFS) represent the largest segment of the automation market. We received strong interest from companies across this segment. However, our technology requires recording all of an employee's computer actions. This poses data security risks for PFS clients. The objective of this project is to research a data security layer to redact all personally identifiable information in our data, enabling PFS clients to adopt our technology.

Robotics Process Automation (RPA), the use of software to perform repetitive office work (e.g., customer on-boarding, KYC), promises to dramatically boost competitiveness by cutting costs, eliminating human error, and increasing delivery speed. Not surprisingly, RPA is a top strategic priority for most enterprises. However, deploying RPA is tremendously expensive: teams of analysts and developers require months to put in place a single automation, with a price tag of up to £100,000\. These costs derive from three highly manual steps: (1) identify suitable processes for automation; (2) describe identified processes at a click and keystroke level; (3) translate these descriptions into RPA programs. We have a new vision for RPA: automatically generate programs from human observation. We propose to turn recordings of clicks and keystrokes into RPA programs, automating Steps 1-3 above. We brought a product to market automating Step 2 in early 2018; this project focuses on Steps 1 and 3\.
