Licensing model for AI Agents

AI Agents consume Automation AI Credits, which are part of the broader Automation credits system. These credits provide a flexible pool that can be used across different AI-powered services in Automation Anywhere.

Automation AI Credits

Consumed when AI Agents run successfully. Each completed execution deducts credits from your purchased pool.

License requirements
  • An Enterprise platform license is required for all AI Agent usage.
  • Private workspace:
    • BYOL (Bring Your Own License) models → no Automation AI Credits are consumed.
    • Out-of-box models → Automation AI Credits are consumed.
  • Public workspace:
    • All executions (BYOL or out-of-box models) consume Automation AI Credits.
Grace policy

If your purchased credits are exhausted, the system allows consumption of up to 10% additional credits as a grace volume. This ensures that critical operations continue without interruption while you add or renew credits.
