Highlights of this release
Here are the top features in the v.35 release:
- Connect to any generative AI model
- New generative AI models are rapidly being released from model vendors, and
customers are creating their own custom models. In this release, we enable
you to harness the full potential of AI, by making it easy to connect to
these models and use them within your AI Skills and agents.
This enables you to take advantage of the latest generative AI innovations
and produce the most effective agentic process automations.Note: This feature requires the Enterprise Platform license. For more information, see Enterprise Platform.
- Build AI Agents faster with AI Skill templates
- AI Skills can now be saved as templates enabling you to share
and reuse AI Skills across your organization. Pre-built,
customizable AI Skill templates give you a head start on
building robust and scalable AI Agents and accelerate your
time to value with agentic process automation. Note: This feature requires the Enterprise Platform license. For more information, see Enterprise Platform.
- Use AAI Enterprise Knowledge RAG in AI Agent Studio for grounded automations
- AAI Enterprise Knowledge is our best-in-class solution to provide
retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities to our customers. RAG
helps generative AI models create more meaningful outputs and mitigate
hallucinations by using your company data to augment LLMs. With this
release, you can now use this RAG functionality in AI Agent Studio
to build AI Skills that are grounded in your data, enabling
you to automate complex business use cases, with the governance you require
utilizing AAI Enterprise Knowledge.Note: This feature requires the Enterprise Platform license and the AAI Enterprise Knowledge license. For more information, see Enterprise Platform.

- Scale and adapt your process automations with agentic orchestration
- The following new features in this release enable you to enhance process
automation performance, scalability, and ease of use. Note: These features require the Enterprise Platform license. For more information, see Enterprise Platform.
- Web triggers:
Instantly trigger automations when SaaS events occur in your
enterprise, ensuring timely and efficient process execution.
See Web triggers.
- Real-time proactive view: The Monitoring dashboard provides real-time observability and enables you to gain a comprehensive view across all your production automations, allowing you to scale and operate thousands of processes with ease.

Instantly trigger automations when SaaS events occur in your
enterprise, ensuring timely and efficient process execution.
- Track real-time value gains from Document Automation and process automations
- New in this release is the ability to track, in real-time, the return on
investment (ROI) value of different automation types, including task
automation, API automation, Document Automation, and queue
automation through CoE Manager. With this capability, you can
now track the ROI for document automation processes, providing insights into
cost savings and efficiency gains. Furthermore, this release stitches
real-time reports for all the automation types into a single view providing
an end-to-end holistic view of the financial performance of entire process
automations. Finally, you can measure the impact of process automations on
your bottom line, helping you make informed decisions and optimize
operations.Note: This feature requires the CoE Manager or CoE Manager Plus license. For more information, see Automation 360 components by license and deployment.
See ROI tracking.
- Optimize automation execution with new deployment queue enhancements
- With automatic queueing, automations are instantly added to the deployment
queue if a targeted device becomes unavailable, ensuring that the automation
can be executed when the device becomes available. This makes the overall
deployment process more efficient as users do not have to manually redeploy
the automations upon device recovery. This newly introduced queue cleanup
automatically moves unprocessed items to the historical activity list,
reducing delays and enhancing deployment efficiency.
See Deployment.
- Efficiently manage automation execution recordings
- In the v.32 release, we announced the record execution feature, providing
you the ability to record automation executions and upload these to the Control Room, so this critical information can help you debug
automation failures. In this release, we’ve made this feature more robust
with the ability to effectively manage these recordings in case of an upload
failure. In the case of a device restart, pending recordings that were not
successfully uploaded are automatically retried, ensuring that important
execution data is not lost. The system also automatically deletes older
recordings that failed to upload after 3 days, freeing up local storage and
maintaining an efficient local file system.Note: This feature requires the Enterprise Platform license. For more information, see Enterprise Platform.
