Automation Anywhere

Agent platform

AI Agent StudioAgent platform

A low-code workspace for building, testing and governing goal-driven AI agents that connect to third-party foundation models from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure OpenAI and OpenAI, with built-in AI Guardrails for data masking and toxicity checks.

Platform

Agentic Process Automation PlatformPlatform

The vendor's umbrella platform combining goal-driven AI agents, RPA, APIs and human-in-the-loop review to orchestrate enterprise workflows; sold as licensable modules including AI Agent Studio, Automation Co-Pilot, Automator AI, Document Automation, Process Discovery, Process Reasoning Engine and the Mozart Orchestrator, each recorded separately.

Mozart OrchestratorPlatform

Coordinates autonomous AI agents across bots, systems, data and human touchpoints with goal-driven, self-healing workflow execution.

Contextual AI

Agent platform

Agent ComposerAgent platform

Orchestration layer inside the Contextual AI Platform providing an enterprise-scale agent runtime, no-code agent/workflow builder and AI toolkit for multi-step reasoning and multi-tool orchestration over enterprise data.

Platform

Contextual AI PlatformPlatform

Builds and serves retrieval-augmented agents over an organisation's own documents.

No counterpart

Automation Anywhere sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Contextual AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

Automation Co-PilotApplication

A conversational generative-AI assistant embedded inside business applications such as SAP, Workday and Salesforce that turns natural-language requests into built and deployed automations, using the Process Reasoning Engine for business context.

Document AutomationApplication

Intelligent document processing that uses natural language processing, computer vision and generative AI to classify, extract and validate data from structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents including handwriting, barcodes and free-form text.

Process DiscoveryApplication

Records how work is actually done on employees' screens with computer vision, uses AI to uncover every process variation and map it, redacts personal data through a Privacy Enhanced Gateway, and ranks which processes to automate next. Part of the Agentic Process Automation Platform.

Developer tool

Automation Anywhere CodeDeveloper tool

A generative automation builder that takes intent from plain language, SOPs, BPMN diagrams, screenshots or voice, produces a structured plan for review, then generates agents, API tasks, processes, forms and bots as governed production automations.

Automator AIDeveloper tool

A set of generative-AI tools for the people who build automations on Automation Anywhere's platform: Autopilot turns process documents into ready-to-deploy automations, Co-Pilot for Automators builds steps from natural-language prompts, and Generative Recorder adds a GenAI fallback so workflows keep running when a screen changes. Part of the Agentic Process Automation Platform.

Process SimulationDeveloper tool

A test environment that runs an end-to-end workflow before it goes live: simulation mode generates test data and models each step's output without touching live systems, AI proposes extra scenarios and edge cases across APIs, bots, agents and human steps, and the results point at gaps and broken branches to fix. Part of the Agentic Process Automation Platform.

Infrastructure service

EnterpriseClawInfrastructure service

A governance and runtime layer that deploys, manages and secures AI agents from any framework - including OpenClaw, Claude Code, LangChain, CrewAI and custom Python - locally behind the enterprise firewall using existing bot runner controls, credentials, audit trails and AI guardrails.

Process Reasoning EngineInfrastructure service

The reasoning layer the vendor calls the AI brain of its Agentic Process Automation System, trained on over 450 million agent and automation executions, which performs real-time dynamic reasoning and goal-driven orchestration of AI agents, automations and people.

Data service

Context Intelligence GraphData service

A vendor-agnostic context layer that grounds AI agents and workflows in role-based enterprise business rules, policies, SOPs, systems of record and knowledge bases, including unstructured documents with tables, forms and layout, and self-learns from process execution.

Contextual AI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Automation Anywhere yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

API service

Contextual AI RAG Component APIsAPI service

Parsing, reranking and grounded-generation endpoints sold individually for teams building their own retrieval stack.
