We are announcing the introduction of the Retry with AI vision feature in error handling for UI and browser automation within Power Automate for desktop. This feature will be available for Public Preview in all Power Platform environments hosted in the United States region starting November 18, 2025.
This AI-powered capability is designed to improve the reliability of desktop automations by intelligently identifying and proposing the correct UI element when an automation action fails to find the expected one.
Leveraging advanced language models, the system analyzes screenshots and desktop context to suggest alternative elements, allowing automations to recover from certain errors automatically. This reduces manual intervention and helps keep flows running smoothly.
The feature is available as an optional fallback in the error handling settings of individual actions and is intended to be used in scenarios where robust flow continuity is critical.
How does this affect me?
Makers can opt-in to use this feature in the specific UI and browser automation actions where they want to retry with AI vision (in the event of an error occurring in their desktop flows during runtime). This setting is disabled by default in those actions and is accessed through the error handling screen of UI and browser automation actions in desktop flows.
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
