Automation Anywhere, a leader in Agentic Process Automation (APA) and agentic solutions, has partnered with OpenAI to introduce a new generation of AI-native agentic solutions. This collaboration integrates Automation Anywhere's Process Reasoning Engine (PRE) with OpenAI's advanced reasoning models to create a secure, governed reasoning-to-action loop, enabling enterprises to achieve faster deployment, greater autonomy, and significantly higher ROI in business processes.

Automation Anywhere has announced a strategic collaboration with OpenAI to advance the next wave of agentic automation, delivering solutions that fundamentally redefine enterprise workflows through intelligent, adaptive AI agents.
Shifting from Rigid Automation to Adaptive Agentic Operations Traditional automation tools rely on predefined steps, making them vulnerable to process variations and changes. In contrast, Automation Anywhere's new agentic solutions leverage AI to reason dynamically, interpret context, solve problems, and adapt autonomously. The Process Reasoning Engine (PRE) orchestrates secure, governed actions across enterprise systems, while OpenAI's advanced models provide sophisticated reasoning capabilities, creating a complete reasoning-to-action loop tailored for regulated environments.
Accelerating Time-to-Value with Pre-Built Solutions The new offerings provide enterprises with a rapid path to agentic operations through pre-built, deeply contextual solutions that can be deployed in weeks. These target critical business areas including finance, HR, IT, and customer service, enabling organizations to achieve production-ready automation while maintaining the flexibility to customize and extend functionality without code.
Leadership Perspectives on the Collaboration "Traditional solutions automate work by following rigid steps, much like humans would, which often makes them brittle when things change," said Mihir Shukla, CEO and Chairman of Automation Anywhere. "Our agentic solutions are fundamentally different; they're designed for how AI agents work, enabling them to autonomously reason, solve problems, and adapt to changes — delivering exponentially greater ROI. With our Process Reasoning Engine and OpenAI's reasoning models, we're building agentic solutions that offer capabilities truly unlike anything in the market – it's a true game changer."
"Automation Anywhere is showing what's next, AI that goes beyond automating tasks to redefining how work actually happens," said Giancarlo "GC" Lionetti, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenAI. "Together, we're embedding intelligence directly into core workflows so enterprises can move faster, work smarter, and drive meaningful outcomes."
"Most agentic initiatives fail because they're either too autonomous or too constrained," said Dustin Snell, SVP of Agentic Solutions at Automation Anywhere. "What's different here is that we deliberately blend agentic reasoning, deterministic execution, and human judgment into a single, governed flow. That balance is what turns promising AI experiments into reliable production outcomes for the enterprise."
This partnership positions Automation Anywhere at the forefront of agentic automation, offering enterprises a secure, scalable way to harness advanced AI reasoning while preserving governance, compliance, and human oversight for sustainable business transformation.
