Agent building & orchestration

Camunda Agentic Orchestration

German process-orchestration vendor's capability for embedding AI agents into BPMN processes, exposing BPMN activities inside ad-hoc sub-processes as LLM-selectable tools while human tasks and deterministic rules stay in the same model. Fine-grained authorization exists at cluster level; audit logging for agent decisions is not documented.

Ask for a demonstration

Demonstrate a BPMN process where an AI agent selects tools inside an ad-hoc sub-process but a human task must complete before the payment activity runs.

Capabilities and evidence

Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.

Documented by provider

AI agents execute the non-deterministic parts of a process while human tasks, deterministic rule sets and AI-driven decisions collaborate in one BPMN-based end-to-end process.

Limit: The overview does not document audit logs, RBAC, versioning, tenant isolation or observability for agent behaviour.

Documented by provider

BPMN activities inside an ad-hoc sub-process are exposed as tools the LLM can select, and agents connect to providers including Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini and OpenAI; human tasks and events are routed within the process.

Limit: No approval-specific control is documented; human involvement is modelled as ordinary human tasks.

Documented by provider

The Camunda 8 Orchestration Cluster provides a fine-grained authorization system over web components and APIs, with owner types User, Group, Role, Client and Mapping rule, permissions such as READ_USER_TASK and UPDATE_USER_TASK on process definitions, and Tenant as an authorization resource.

Limit: Tenant appears as an authorization resource, but the page does not explicitly document tenant isolation guarantees; no audit-log capability is described.
