Automation Anywhere previews EnterpriseClaw

Automation Anywhere said on May 19 that it had put EnterpriseClaw into preview, adding a new layer to its agentic automation platform aimed at running AI agents across cloud services, desktops, on-premises systems and secured enterprise networks. The company said the product was developed with Cisco, Nvidia, Okta and OpenAI, and is designed to keep those agents under centralized orchestration, governance and access controls. The launch was announced alongside broader platform updates at Automation Anywhere’s Imagine event in Dallas on May 19. ### What is EnterpriseClaw supposed to do inside a company? EnterpriseClaw is positioned by Automation Anywhere as a way to run “claw-style” AI agents where enterprise work already happens, including local files, terminals, browsers, legacy applications and systems behind the firewall. The company’s product page says the system extends the distributed execution and centralized control model it already uses for robotic process automation bots to local AI agents. (automationanywhere.com) Automation Anywhere said those agents can be deployed in parallel at enterprise scale and can work across teams and workflows while administrators retain centralized control over access, activity, governance and observability. In the company’s description, the agents also use its Process Reasoning Engine and Contextual Intelligence Graph to improve accuracy and process context for business tasks.

Cisco is named by Automation Anywhere as the security partner for the preview, with the company saying Cisco AI Defense adds protections around AI-agent behavior and enterprise deployment. Nvidia is listed as the provider of on-premises AI runtime, microservices and models for deployments that need to stay inside customer environments. Okta and OpenAI are also named as collaborators in the launch announcement. (automationanywhere.com) May 19 press materials from Automation Anywhere do not assign the same level of public technical detail to Okta and OpenAI as they do to Cisco and Nvidia, but both companies are included in the collaboration list for EnterpriseClaw. Yahoo Finance carried the company’s release with the same partner lineup and deployment description. ### Why is Automation Anywhere tying this to its existing platform? (automationanywhere.com) Automation Anywhere said on May 19 that EnterpriseClaw is part of a wider set of 2026 platform enhancements for what it calls Agentic Process Automation. The company’s platform materials describe that stack as combining AI agents, robotic process automation, APIs and human decision points in one orchestration layer. (finance.yahoo.com) The company’s documentation for Automation Platform Core says its Mozart Orchestrator is intended to unify bots, APIs and human decisions in end-to-end processes, while Control Room tools manage users, credentials, packages and administrative settings. Those existing components help explain where EnterpriseClaw fits: as another execution layer tied into orchestration and governance already used for enterprise automation. (automationanywhere.com) ### How is the company describing the enterprise problem it is trying to solve? Automation Anywhere wrote in a May 7 blog post that AI “claws” are best suited today to research and analysis tasks in controlled environments with defined access boundaries. In the May 19 launch release, the company said AI needs to do work “where the work actually happens,” including systems that cloud-native agents cannot easily reach. (docs.automationanywhere.com) Computerworld reported on May 19 that EnterpriseClaw was framed as a response to enterprise demand for autonomous agents that can operate without exposing sensitive systems to uncontrolled behavior. That characterization was the publication’s, not Automation Anywhere’s, but it tracks with the company’s emphasis on centralized control, governance and behind-the-firewall deployment. (automationanywhere.com) ### What comes next after the preview? Automation Anywhere said on May 19 that EnterpriseClaw is in preview, and its launch materials point users to the company’s product and platform pages for access details and related components. The company’s broader 2026 platform rollout was announced the same day at Imagine in Dallas, where it also unveiled additional orchestration, context and governance features tied to its agentic automation stack.
