Recording client overview

The Recorder client is a lightweight installation that is downloaded on the recording user's machine. It records and captures screenshots and metadata of the task as it is being completed. There is one unified recorder application for both Assisted and Unassisted Task Mining. For Task Mining, the screenshots and metadata create traces to be reviewed and merged to get a comprehensive view of the process. For Unassisted Task Mining, the AI model is applied to the data to create tasks candidates to be reviewed and analyzed for automation and process improvement opportunities.

Even though the recording client needs to be installed on every machine in order to record data for each interaction, the performance impact is low and all the locally stored data is deleted automatically once it's updated to the encrypted cloud space.
