    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    AI agents use desktop actions that are designed in the Agentic Desktop Design workspace as tools. When an AI agent is triggered from the Now Assist panel, it determines which desktop actions it can use to perform the automation. Once triggered, the automation is executed in the desktop-in-desktop mode within the Agentic Desktop Execution workspace.

    Hinweis:

    To avoid conflicts, do not run the Agentic Desktop Execution workspace and RPA Attended Desktop mode at the same time.
