US Patent 10891112 Systems and methods for discovering automatable tasks

According to at least one aspect, a system for analyzing computer usage data of a user to identify an underlying task being performed by the user is provided. The system includes a hardware processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform: receiving a plurality of events each indicative of an action performed by a user and contextual information associated with the action performed by the user, clustering the plurality of events to generate a plurality of clustered events, identifying a plurality of sub-tasks in the plurality of clustered events that each comprise a sequence of clustered events, identifying a task in the plurality of clustered events being performed by the user that comprises at least one sub-task, and generating a score for the task indicative of a difficulty of automating the task.
