Automation Anywhere joined the OpenClaw AI agent race through a collaboration featuring Nvidia, Cisco, and OpenAI. At the same time, Google Cloud announced a major Claw-style move at its annual I/O developer conference.

Automation Anywhere’s EnterpriseClaw capability is designed to make open-source autonomous AI agents – known as claws – effective across enterprise operations, as popularized by the lobster-themed OpenClaw system.

Together with Nvidia, Cisco, Okta and OpenAI, the partners aim to help organizations deploy these agents across cloud platforms, desktops, on-premises systems, and secured enterprise networks, ensuring AI-driven work can run securely and under centralized control.

This collaboration comes at a time when organizations are increasingly experimenting with claw-style AI agents that can execute tasks directly within applications, browsers, terminals, and local systems, benefiting from the proximity of executing tasks where work happens.

"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," Automation Anywhere CEO Mihir Shukla noted. “EnterpriseClaw is designed to unlock the potential of these next-generation AI agents for real enterprise operations. We're excited to collaborate with [our partners] whose technologies help support the security, identity, intelligence, and infrastructure requirements of enterprise-grade agentic systems."

EnterpriseClaw agents also tap into the capabilities of Automation Anywhere’s Process Reasoning Engine (PRE) and Contextual Intelligence Graph to ensure enhanced accuracy and process context to automate business-critical work more reliably than any large language model (LLM) on its own.

As one example, organizations can investigate complex customer claims by gathering information from desktop applications, on-premises systems, internal documents, and cloud platforms. This allows them to keep sensitive financial, health care, or operational data inside secure enterprise systems.

The robotic process automation (RPA) vendor notes that this capability is foundational to operating as an autonomous enterprise, where AI runs enterprise work across systems, not just within isolated tools.

"Enterprises are deploying AI agents across their most critical workflows, and the question is no longer whether agents can do the work, but whether they can be trusted to do it safely,” Kari Briski, VP of generative AI at Nvidia, added. “Nvidia OpenShell and Nvidia Nemotron models provide the secure runtime and intelligent foundation for Automation Anywhere’s EnterpriseClaw, enabling organizations to build and deploy autonomous, self-evolving agents with greater control, transparency, and performance.”

Google unveils Gemini Spark AI agent for enterprise workflow automation

Google released a new 24/7 personal AI agent designed to automate complex, multistep business workflows, striking another major lobster-step for claw tools.

The tech giant is rolling out Gemini Spark to enterprise users, with the tool operating in Gemini Enterprise, Google Workspace, custom connectors, and the open web to handle routine manual processes on behalf of corporate teams.

The platform is engineered to understand specific business contexts, including ongoing projects, team dynamics, and individual writing styles, allowing employees to shift their focus toward high-impact strategic innovation.

The system flaunts several core functional areas centered on task delegation and user oversight. Users can assign recurring tasks and train the agent to execute multistep workflows autonomously. To maintain operational control, the system requires explicit user approval for high-risk actions, such as sending emails, while issuing proactive updates on its progress.

The agent was also built to personalize its responses by learning user preferences and communication styles over time, and it connects with existing enterprise integrations, including Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, and ServiceNow.

Google said Spark for engineering operations can identify critical product bugs, suggest code changes, create Jira tickets, recalculate launch timelines across internal documents, and draft stakeholder update emails.

For IT operations, the agent is promised to monitor system health through ServiceNow, escalate recurring issues to development teams via Jira, generate incident reports, and alert managers for communication approvals. In sales environments, the tool pulls client histories from Salesforce and Zendesk to detect customer churn risks, draft retention strategies, and prepare client emails for review.

Gemini Spark is scheduled to roll out to Gemini Enterprise users in the near future. A preview version for business customers using Google Workspace will be available soon within the Gemini app.
