An Automation Agent is a software agent that can perform automated tasks (through automation processes within automation environments).
- AKA: Automated Agent, Process Automation Agent, Task Automation Agent.
- Context:
- It can typically execute Automation Tasks through automation workflows and automation rule engines.
- It can typically manage Process Automation via automation orchestration and automation scheduling.
- It can typically monitor Automation Performance using automation metrics and automation tracking systems.
- It can typically handle Error Recovery through automation exception handling and automation retry mechanisms.
- It can typically maintain Automation State via automation memory management and automation persistence layers.
- ...
- It can often integrate External Systems with automation interfaces and automation APIs.
- It can often support Parallel Processing through automation concurrency control and automation resource management.
- It can often provide Automation Logging via automation audit trails and automation activity records.
- It can often enable Configuration Management through automation parameters and automation settings.
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Automation Agent to being a Complex Automation Agent, depending on its automation capability sophistication.
- It can range from being a Single-task Automation Agent to being a Multi-task Automation Agent, depending on its automation task scope.
- It can range from being a Reactive Automation Agent to being a Proactive Automation Agent, depending on its automation initiation model.
- It can range from being a Standalone Automation Agent to being a Distributed Automation Agent, depending on its automation deployment architecture.
- ...
- It can interface with Automation Platforms for automation capability extension and automation service access.
- It can connect to Message Queue Systems for automation task distribution and automation communication.
- It can support Monitoring Systems for automation health checks and automation performance analysis.
- It can leverage Configuration Management Systems for automation deployment and automation version control.
- ...

- Process Automation Agents, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Manual Process System, which lacks automation agent capability and requires human operation.
- Static Script, which lacks automation agent autonomy and automation agent adaptability.
- General Software Agent, which lacks automation-specific functionality and automation optimization.
- Automation Tool, which provides automation capability without agent behavior or agent autonomy.
