Automation Anywhere launches EnterpriseClaw platform

Automation Anywhere on May 19 introduced EnterpriseClaw, a new platform aimed at companies that want AI agents to operate inside the systems where employees already work. The company said it developed the product with Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta and OpenAI, and positioned it as a way to run autonomous agents across cloud platforms, desktops, on-premises systems and secured enterprise networks. (prnewswire.com) The pitch is less about a consumer-style chatbot and more about enterprise execution. Automation Anywhere said EnterpriseClaw is designed to let companies orchestrate and monitor agents centrally while keeping control over access, activity, governance and observability. (prnewswire.com) Its product page says the system is meant to work behind a company’s firewall and reach files, terminals, browsers, legacy applications and other systems that cloud-only agents often cannot access. (automationanywhere.com) ### What exactly did Automation Anywhere launch? EnterpriseClaw is a new capability inside Automation Anywhere’s enterprise automation stack, according to the company’s May 19 release and product materials. The company said organizations can use it to deploy AI agents in parallel rather than on a one-agent, one-machine basis, using the same distributed execution and centralized control architecture it has used for robotic process automation bots. (prnewswire.com) Mihir Shukla, Automation Anywhere’s chief executive and board chairman, said in the announcement that AI needs to “do work where the work actually happens.” He said many claw-style agents were built for isolated environments or individual users, while enterprise operations span teams, cloud platforms, desktops, on-premises systems and regulated infrastructure.

Automation Anywhere said EnterpriseClaw is built to maintain oversight of access, activity, governance and observability as agents operate across different systems. The company’s product page also says administrators can scale deployments while keeping compliance controls in place. (automationanywhere.com) CIO, in a May 19 report on the launch, said the product targets enterprises that want to deploy autonomous agents without exposing sensitive systems to uncontrolled AI behavior. That framing matches the company’s own emphasis on secure operation behind the firewall and on administrative monitoring. ### What role do Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta and OpenAI play? Automation Anywhere named Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta and OpenAI as launch collaborators in both its press release and its press-room post. (prnewswire.com) The company did not, in the materials reviewed, spell out a separate product module for each partner inside the launch announcement, but it said EnterpriseClaw integrates with leading enterprise technology providers to deliver what it called production-ready agent deployments. (automationanywhere.com) The partner list matters because it spans infrastructure, identity and AI model layers. Cisco is a network and enterprise systems provider, NVIDIA supplies AI computing infrastructure, Okta focuses on identity and access management, and OpenAI provides foundation-model technology. Those roles are based on the companies’ established businesses; Automation Anywhere’s release identifies them as collaborators on EnterpriseClaw.

In an April earnings-related release, the company said 61% of fourth-quarter software bookings came from AI and highlighted growing use of its AI-driven products in customer service, IT service management, finance and human resources. (prnewswire.com) The company also published an EnterpriseClaw agent package preview through its bot store before the formal launch. That earlier listing described a goal-based agent that could read documents, browse the web, write files, execute code and fill out forms. ### Where can companies see what comes next? Automation Anywhere’s product page for EnterpriseClaw is live, and the company’s May 19 press-room post carries the launch details and partner list. (prnewswire.com) The company’s Imagine 2026 conference materials also said attendees would get early access to technologies being released in 2026, including tools for applying AI in real-world environments with governance and visibility.
