“We believe that we are at the very early stage for companies to broadly benefit from automation and AI.” Rich Wong, a partner at Accel, said in a statement. He continued: “I am continually amazed by the dynamics of the RPA and AI market,”

He said this in a comment about UIPath, which just raised $225 million from Google to make software robots. UiPath is a 13-year company that makes macro recorder software to automate repetitive business processes.

Silicon Valley’s biggest investors are throwing money at UiPath, an enterprise software company that’s now valued at $3 billion, thanks to its second mega funding round this year.

On Tuesday, UiPath announced $225 million in Series C funding from investors at Google’s CapitalG, Sequoia, and Accel. The startup’s previous funding round was just six months ago, in March, when it raised $153 million at a $1.1 billion valuation.

While UiPath calls itself “a robotic process automation software company” it’s not talking about metal arms or high-traction rubber wheels. It’s really more of an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning company, as its software lets companies automate repetitive business processes. “The software interacts with applications the way humans do, - very much like SeeShell does, but more bloated” commented the a9t9 chief developer.

“We are enabling a future where employees at every organization are empowered to automate tedious and time-consuming work, enabling them to focus on creative, challenging problems,” the UIPath CEO said in a statement. “UiPath is driven by the incredible potential for our platform to be the gateway to transform our customers’ digital business operations with machine learning and AI.”
