Convert your Task into an Exe

If you want to distribute and deploy automated task on computer other than your own, use Automation Anywhere Premier or Automation Anywhere Enterprise. Premier & Enterprise version offers a very powerful feature to convert your task into a stand alone program (Exe). Exe can run on any machine* without the need of any software.

Automation Anywhere generated exes are intelligent exes with our SMART Automation agent inside. This agent continue to provide the same intelligent automation and auto sensing technology that you get with Automation Anywhere. When you run the exes on another computer, our SMART automation technology adjusts for more than 40 differences while replaying the exe on individual machines. This state-of-the-art agent takes into account differences like window size and position change, CPU load, desktop icon location changes, etc. It will also automatically replace system variables like dates and user defined variables, etc., ensuring easy task automation across computers.

With Automation Anywhere Premier & enterprise businesses & IT divisions can generate exes to manage & configure software, alter software behavior, create interactive scripts that take user inputs & more.

To make an Exe from a task, select any task and click 'Create EXE' button.

Tip: Use keyboard shortcuts and keystrokes instead of mouse clicks while recording, to improve accuracy while running the exe across multiple machines.
