The Bot agent is a lightweight application that enables you to run bots on your device by connecting the device to the Enterprise Control Room. To run bots on a local machine, install the Bot agent and add the local device to the list of enabled host devices.

1. Log in to the Enterprise Control Room through your Automation Anywhere Enterprise URL.
2. Navigate to MY DEVICES.
3. To add a local device, click Add local bot agent from the actions menu (vertical ellipsis) at the top-right.
4. Click Connect to my computer.
5. Follow the steps outlined in the wizard.
   Authenticated proxy access: If your device's access to the internet is controlled through an authenticating proxy server, you are prompted to provide the proxy server authentication details. These credentials are required for the device to communicate with the Enterprise Control Room.

   To enable the authenticated proxy, register the device through a Google Chrome browser with the Automation Anywhere Chrome extension enabled.

6. Enter the following in the Additional information screen:
   • Device nickname (optional)
   • Device type (single user or multi-user)
     Note: In case of a multi-user device, enter the number of concurrent sessions that will be allowed.
7. Click Save.
8. Refresh the My Devices page and verify that the local device is added.
   You can identify the devices by their IP address and hostname.
