Automation Anywhere’s latest .37 release is here, and it’s packed with some seriously powerful updates for developers. Whether you’re aiming to build resilient automations, expand cross-platform capabilities, or accelerate AI-powered development, this release has something for you.

Let’s break down the top 5 developer-focused features, starting from number 5 and working our way to the biggest game-changer of them all.

#5 – Self-Healing Automations with Vision Fallback
Automation resiliency just got a major boost with the new vision fallback built into the generative recorder. When traditional UI selectors fail due to unexpected layout changes, advanced AI vision models powered by the process reasoning engine step in. These models interpret visual data in real time, allowing your automations to adapt seamlessly without breaking.

From native selectors to vision models to text-based LLM feedback, the self-healing system reduces failures and manual rework, ensuring your automations stay reliable even in dynamic, fast-changing applications. Enabling this fallback is as easy as checking a box in the package settings.

#4 – Full Mac OS Support for Enterprise-Scale Automation
This release marks a major milestone with full Mac OS support on the Automation Anywhere platform. Developers now enjoy a unified experience building automations for Safari and Chrome browsers on Mac, plus native support for Apple Mail, AppleScript, Apple Numbers, and more.

Object-based automation is now available for the SAP desktop app on Mac, enabling precise workflows. You can build device pools with Mac bot runners, bulk install bot agents, and manage workloads with support for both attended and unattended automations. The package SDK also lets developers create custom Mac OS packages to automate complex or proprietary applications.

#3 – Copilot for Automator: Build Automations Up to 3x Faster
Copilot just got smarter with enhanced AI models powered by the process reasoning engine. It now delivers near-complete automation flows with smart defaults like naming, exception handling, and variable setup—automatically generating code in Python, JavaScript, and VB with minimal input.

OAuth connections are supported too: just reference a saved connection in the prompt, and it’s automatically added to your automation. Copilot makes complex scripting accessible to developers of all skill levels, accelerating your build process dramatically.

#2 – Conversational Automation with Automation Copilot Powered by Amazon Q
Say goodbye to rigid forms and complex UIs. Automation Copilot now understands user intent through natural language, pulling from enterprise knowledge to run automations instantly. Embedded in apps like Salesforce and Workday, it guides users with smart prompts and shows workflow steps right in the chat.

Responses are grounded in enterprise data with source links for validation, reducing hallucinations. Setting up retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is simple: upload documents, sync files, and query with rule-based permissions—all while keeping data secure.

#1 – Agent Intake Process Orchestration: Scale Smarter and Faster
The biggest upgrade in this release transforms how enterprises build, manage, and scale agent tech automations with two key components:

The next-gen process composer offers a modern, intuitive visual interface powered by the process reasoning engine. It enables orchestration of complex workflows involving AI-driven decisions, human interventions, data sources, and business objects. Features like BPMN Swimlanes and freeform layouts empower collaboration between business and IT teams.

Enhanced workload management introduces parallel queue processing, letting you process multiple queues simultaneously on the same devices. This boosts throughput, speeds up service levels, and optimizes device and license usage. Work items can be deployed directly to devices without needing device pools, simplifying operations at scale.

Behind the Scenes: The Process Reasoning Engine (PRE)
At the heart of these innovations is the Process Reasoning Engine (PRE), Automation Anywhere’s proprietary AI core. PRE combines deep automation expertise with your organization’s unique context to deliver reliable, intelligent automation. It powers features like Copilot, generative recorder, self-healing automations, and document automation by continuously learning from over 400 million executions.

PRE adapts to UI changes in real time, handles unstructured data without training, and enhances AI-human collaboration—making AI-powered automation smarter and more scalable than ever.
