Zoho RPA automates repetitive, high-volume tasks across cloud and desktop systems, including web and legacy applications. Its Recorder captures task steps and turns them into workflows, while listed automation actions cover 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 licensed OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini models with Bring Your Own Key. The service offers pre-built tasks for over 1,000 cloud apps, but cloud actions require a separate Zoho Flow subscription and count toward Flow limits. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes 3 executions per billing period, 1 production flow, and 30 days of history. Successful flow runs count as executions, and monthly limits do not carry over. Flows can contain up to 149 actions. Windows, Mac, and Linux agents are listed, though Mac and Linux currently support web automation only.
