Automation Anywhere kicks off its Imagine 2026 this week as thousands of partners and customers assemble in Dallas for two full days of networking with automation professionals, a conference schedule detailing concrete strategies to scale automation implementations and a speaker lineup featuring former GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt.
Automation Today will be there to cover the event.
While last year’s Imagine focused on what Agentic AI was and what it could do, this year’s gathering will emphasize orchestration, context and governance, which, according to Automation Anywhere, will be the key for organizations to get the most out of agentic investments.
In more than 50 sessions conducted over two days, show organizers say the event will enable attendees to learn from peers who have had early success with agentic automation.
Automation Anywhere will also use the event as a platform to make several major announcements. The San Jose, Calif.-based company said it is introducing pre-built Agentic AI offerings for specific business functions while also expanding its platform capabilities for orchestration, governance, and process simulation.
Autonomous IT and Autonomous Finance are solutions built on the company’s Agentic Process Automation (APA) platform.
The Autonomous IT product focuses on service desk operations, including password resets, access requests, and employee support issues. The company said the system uses pre-built agents and enterprise integrations to resolve routine requests automatically rather than routing employees to knowledge articles or ticket queues.
The finance-focused offering targets procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and record-to-report workflows. The company said the solution automates approvals, policy enforcement, and invoice processing across enterprise finance systems.
“Enterprises are under pressure to improve productivity, reduce costs, move faster, and deliver better experiences, but they cannot get there with AI experiments that never produce measurable results,” said Mihir Shukla, CEO and board chairman of Automation Anywhere. “The Autonomous Enterprise is built on AI that can follow business rules, understand enterprise-wide context, and execute real work.”
The company also introduced Context Intelligence, which connects AI agents to enterprise systems, policies, and knowledge bases to provide additional business context during workflow execution. Automation Anywhere said internal testing showed agents using the feature achieved more than 30 percent higher accuracy than agents operating without it.
Imagine will also be the launching pad for a claw-style system called EnterpriseClaw from Automation Anywhere in partnership with Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta and OpenAI. The tool will enable organizations to deploy AI agents that can execute tasks across cloud platforms, on-premises systems and secure enterprise networks.
The recent rise of OpenClaw showed how AI agents might be unleashed. For enterprises, however, security concerns prevented them from leveraging claw-style orchestration across enterprise teams and workflows.
“For AI to have a transformational impact on business, it needs to be able to do work where the work actually happens,” said Shukla. “Many claw-style AI agents are incredibly powerful, but most were designed for isolated environments or individual users—while enterprise operations span teams, cloud platforms, desktops, on-premises systems, and highly regulated infrastructure. EnterpriseClaw is designed to unlock the potential of these next-generation AI agents for real enterprise operations.
Check in with Automation Today in the coming weeks for interviews with Automation Anywhere executives and other automation professionals and end users who attended the Imagine event.
