Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Automation Anywhere

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Twilio

Application

Twilio Agent CopilotApplication

Generative-AI assistant inside Twilio Flex that gives contact-center agents customer context, live suggested responses via "Ask Copilot," and AI-generated wrap-up notes with sentiment and disposition codes.

Twilio FlexApplication
