Highlights of this release

Here are the top features in the v.38 release:

Autonomous AI Agents
Autonomous AI Agents represent a shift in enterprise automation, advancing beyond rule-based, task-specific bots to intelligent, goal-driven systems that can plan, reason, and dynamically orchestrate workflows. Autonomous AI Agents use our industry-first Process Reasoning Engine (PRE).
  • Real-time adaptation: Adjust intelligently to changing contexts using structured prompts and contextual variables.
  • Tool calling at scale: Reuse existing customer automations, including bots, APIs, and other AI Agents, along with tools from third-party applications and enterprise systems.
  • Human-in-the-loop controls: Add checkpoints for approvals, escalations, and exception handling across complex processes.
  • Enterprise-grade governance: Equip developers with detailed execution logs, testing tools, and override controls for reliable deployment.

Delivered with enterprise governance and comprehensive audit trails out-of-the-box, these AI Agents uniquely combine AI autonomy with enterprise compliance.

Generative AI models from Automation Anywhere: Enterprise AI adoption is typically a time-consuming process due to lengthy security reviews that often slow down or even block generative AI deployments. In this version, we are providing pre-approved, hosted generative AI models directly within your Control Room for faster generative AI deployments.
  • Instant adoption: Use trusted models on day one with no additional integrations required.
  • Enterprise-grade compliance: All models undergo rigorous internal security and governance reviews.
  • Secure run-time: Models run within Automation Anywhere-managed Cloud environments.
  • Seamless integration: Apply models immediately to AI Skills and AI Agent reasoning steps.

Example: In healthcare, organizations can now build AI Agents for prior authorization approvals using these pre-approved models, thereby shortening compliance cycles and accelerating deployment timelines.

Note: These generative AI models are available only to public cloud (AWS) customers.

Agentic orchestration
Developer productivity and experience: Scaling agentic process automation or APA solutions often slows down due to manual setup, testing hurdles, and integration constraints. Our new features streamline development, boost accuracy, and expand automation coverage.
  • Co-Pilot for Automators in Process Composer: Build workflows up to three times faster using natural language prompts powered by PRE, with best practices (naming conventions, variable setup, exception handling) applied automatically. See Build automation via prompt.
  • End-to-end queue testing in editor: Validate complete workload automations directly in the build environment, simulating live queues and ensuring business logic works as intended.

These enhancements bring enterprise-grade productivity to both Professional Developers and Citizen Developers by enabling teams to deliver faster, safer, and more precise automations that scale to mission-critical use cases.

Enterprise resiliency
Enterprises require automation that is reliable, resilient, and capable of extending into complex, legacy, and virtualized systems. Resiliency-focused innovations are enhanced to ensure agentic process automations remain robust, interruption-proof, and enterprise-ready.
  • Interrupt handler
    • Detects unexpected pop-ups or re-authentication prompts (for example, session timeouts and confirmation dialogs) in real-time.
    • Automatically executes configured resolutions, such as clicking OK or re-login sequences.
    • Resumes workflows seamlessly without manual intervention.

    See Interrupt handler package.

  • Expanded Citrix automation coverage
    • Object-based automation now works with Citrix apps even when window titles are inconsistent or dynamic.
    • Reduces dependency on fragile image-based or keystroke automations, delivering greater stability for legacy system use cases.

    See Citrix XenApp support.
