Healing Agent is now GA

We're happy to announce that Healing Agent is now generally available.

Healing Agent is an AI-powered capability which enables intelligent and dynamic self-healing for UI-based automations. Healing Agent encompasses several experiences across UiPath Robots, Orchestrator, and Studio.

Healing Agent reduces automation downtime and increases efficiency and resilience in UI-based automations. Self-healing enables your processes to dynamically adapt to changes with minimal disruptions, and reduces the overall cost of ownership for automations.

Here are just a few of the key strengths Healing Agent offers:

• Autonomous self-healing—Healing Agent identifies changes in application interfaces and automatically repairs the automation. The self-healing procedure applies one or more recovery strategies and executes them in cascade. For instance, closing an overlay or pop-up blocking the automation, adjusting a selector, or applying a delay to wait for a page to fully load.

• Actionable recommendations—Healing Agent intelligently analyzes application interfaces and provides suggestions on how to repair the automation, minimizing time spent debugging or troubleshooting.

Key differentiators for Healing Agent

UiPath Healing Agent has the following differentiators:

• Comprehensive self-healing—UiPath Healing Agent not only relies on AI, but also combines heuristic-based strategies, making it versatile and effective for a wide range of error scenarios. It intelligently evaluates both AI and non-AI recovery methods to select the best option, ensuring robust error handling.

• JIT (Just-In-Time) analysis—Healing Agent performs real-time analysis of the UI during execution, offering dynamic recovery strategies that adapt to changing environments. This feature ensures that automation continue seamlessly even when applications or UIs evolve, without additional manual adjustments.

• Unified Targeting—UiPath Unified Targeting approach allows Healing Agent to work across different application platforms and frameworks, offering a consistent recovery mechanism whether it’s web-based, desktop-based, or cloud-based.

• Human-in-the-loop for attended automations—UiPath Healing Agent brings value to both unattended and attended automations by allowing human intervention when needed, especially in attended scenarios. This adds a layer of flexibility that ensures smooth workflows even when manual oversight is required.

• Integration with existing projects—UiPath Healing Agent can be applied to existing automation projects, making it easier to implement and leverage without extensive reconfiguration.

• Governance and Trust Layer control—Governance enables administrators to configure Healing Agent options at the organizational level. Additionally, the AI Trust Layer in UiPath allows organizations to define the level of control they want to grant AI in the recovery process. This configurable trust layer is a unique feature, empowering users to balance autonomy, risk, and efficiency according to their needs.

To sum up, UiPath Healing Agent offers a robust, flexible, and intelligent approach to handling automation failures in real-time, with the added benefits of AI-driven recovery, real-time adaptability, and broad application support.

Benefits of using Healing Agent

Healing Agent brings you a host of benefits:

• Increased reliability—Automations that can recover from errors on their own are more reliable. They can be trusted that they will continue to function correctly, even if unforeseen problems arise.

• Reduced downtime—Healing Agent minimizes automation downtime and keeps the automation on track.

• Enhanced productivity—By reducing the effort of manually resolving issues, Healing Agent allows you to focus on more valuable tasks, thereby increasing overall productivity.

• Reduced maintenance effort—With self-healing capabilities, the need for frequent manual updates or fixes to the automation is significantly reduced, lowering the overall maintenance effort and cost.

• Consistency across environments—Healing Agent helps maintain consistent automation performance, even in environments with varying conditions or configurations, reducing the variability in outcomes and increasing confidence in the automation process.

• Improved user experience—By automatically handling errors and interruptions, Healing Agent ensures that attended automation runs smoothly without requiring constant user intervention. This leads to a more seamless and efficient user experience.
