Automation Anywhere
Application
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.
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.
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.
Agent 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.
Data 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.
Salesforce
Application
AI shopping agent embedded in Commerce Cloud that speeds product discovery with visual product search, pulling the product catalog directly into a chat interface.
Marketing AI agents that plan campaigns, create and adapt content per channel and identify audiences, sold as the product formerly called Marketing Cloud.
Product-to-cash suite (branded Revenue Cloud on its own page, 'Agentforce Revenue Management' in Salesforce's own FAQ) with agents embedded in quoting, contracts, billing and collections workflows; sold as a paid add-on to a Sales Cloud subscription.
Sales AI agents that prospect, manage opportunities and give sellers pipeline visibility across the deal cycle, sold as the product formerly called Sales Cloud.
Customer-service AI agents that resolve questions autonomously, deflect cases to digital channels and give human reps context, sold as the product formerly called Service Cloud.
Plugin that brings Salesforce sales data and 37 prebuilt seller skills into Anthropic's Claude, answering deal questions and updating records under the user's existing Salesforce permissions.
Visual analytics that turns business data into dashboards and answers, with natural-language questions and agent-monitored metrics.

Automation Anywhere sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Salesforce yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Developer 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.
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.
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.
Platform
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.
Coordinates autonomous AI agents across bots, systems, data and human touchpoints with goal-driven, self-healing workflow execution.
Infrastructure 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.
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.
