Task automation is enabled by recording, over a period of time, inputs of a computing device user to generate a log of inputs by the user in connection with one or more task applications. The user inputs are stored along with information pertaining to the one or more task applications. The log is processed to identify the one or more task applications to generate a user task file. The log is further processed to identify the fields in the task applications with which the user entered inputs and the identified fields are stored to the task file. The task file is processed to identify one or more tasks performed by the user. An automated software robot which is encoded with instructions to perform automatically, when invoked, one or more of the tasks performed by the user may be automatically generated.
