Thatโs exactly what happened when I watched a UiPath process recover on its own after a selector suddenly broke.
No manual fix, no rerun โ just a small note in the logs:

Every automation developer knows the pain โ one small UI change, a new pop-up, or a slightly slower page loadโฆ and suddenly your process crashes.
But with UiPath Healing Agent, that story changes.
It silently watches your automation, and when a failure strikes โ it acts.
It analyses the situation, regenerates new selectors, adapts anchors for shifted layouts, handles unexpected pop-ups, or waits intelligently for elements to appear โ all without human intervention.
It feels less like debugging and more like having a guardian angel for your automations.

For this demo, I created a small sample website โ then intentionally changed the First Name field selector to trigger a UI failure.
What happened next?
UiPath Healing Agent detected the broken selector, regenerated the correct one, and let the workflow continue smoothly โ all without a single code change. 
No retries. No manual patch. Just pure self-healing in motion.

When an activity fails, UiPath Healing Agent kicks in after the Unified Target mechanism.
It applies AI-driven recovery strategies such as:
Regenerating selectors on the fly
Adjusting anchors for layout shifts
Handling obstructive pop-ups or overlays
Applying adaptive wait times
Every action is logged and can be reviewed in Orchestrator โ Job Details โ Healing Agent tab, giving complete visibility into what healed and why.

- Fewer job failures, smoother unattended runs
- Reduced maintenance of brittle selectors
- Improved automation uptime and trust
- Seamless integration within Automation Cloud
Itโs automation that doesnโt just execute โ it learns and recovers.

Healing Agent doesnโt replace good design โ it amplifies it.
Your solid selectors and structured flows now get an intelligent safety net that keeps them stable even when the UI changes.
Itโs the next step toward resilient automation โ from reactive fixes to proactive healing.
