UiPath unveiled the first enterprise-grade agentic automation platform in what the vendor called a “bold leap forward” in how business processes are executed with the combined power of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
Revealed yesterday during a live webinar, the platform transforms workflows by enabling the creation, deployment and management of highly reliable AI agents, robots and people with unmatched scalability, flexibility and compliance, UiPath stated.
Agentic automation brings together proven robotic process automation (RPA), AI models and human expertise into cohesive workflows where people, robots and AI agents work synergistically to optimize processes and drive enterprise efficiency.
Agentic automation platform addresses AI scalability challenges
While conversational AI and agent-based assistants have demonstrated isolated value, scaling AI across the enterprise has remained elusive. Key blockers include security and compliance risks, lack of reliability, stalled pilot programs and fear of vendor lock-in.
The new UiPath platform aims to address these challenges by combining decades of leadership in automation with a new, agentic architecture that is purpose-built for business-critical workflows, according to the announcement.
“As models and chips commoditize, the value of AI moves up the stack to orchestration and intelligence,” said Daniel Dines, founder and CEO of UiPath. “That’s where UiPath leads, but we also lead in empowering people – to be more creative, more productive – and to reach their full potential.”
Since the private preview was launched in January 2025, the UiPath agentic automation platform has seen rapid traction:
- Thousands of autonomous agents created with over 75,000 agent runs.
- 11,000+ Academy agentic developer course enrollments.
- More than 450 partners have started or completed agentic automation courses.
The platform is now accessible through a free trial, with select capabilities remaining in preview until they reach general availability throughout May.
UiPath Maestro is central to the new platform
UiPath Maestro is the new orchestration layer at the heart of the new platform. It automates, models and optimizes complex business processes end to end with built-in process intelligence and key performance monitoring (KPI) monitoring to enable continuous optimization.
Through a controlled agency model, UiPath ensures AI agents operate within clearly defined guardrails – ensuring security, predictability and performance. The platform features robust governance, real-time vulnerability assessments and stringent data access controls to protect enterprise environments, the vendor stated. It also empowers business technologists and seasoned developers with intuitive low-code tools and advanced coding environments.
“We are targeting 95 percent+ agent accuracy with every launch,” said Raghu Malpani, chief technology officer (CTO) at UiPath. “Reliability and trustworthiness are core to our Agent Builder roadmap and we’re focused on delivering agents capable of human-level performance – with the right controls in place.”
What’s more, the new release has introduced UI Agent for computer use, now in private preview – a natural language-driven agent that understands user intent, plans multi-step tasks and executes actions across interfaces autonomously.
UiPath launches agentic workforce readiness program
Earlier this week, UiPath launched a new agentic workforce readiness program to upskill public sector professionals. The firm is expanding its curriculum to include agentic automation training and certification for workers impacted by layoffs or looking to enhance their skills with agentic automation competencies.
The program, created in partnership with Boundaryless, Greenlight Consulting and The Next Innings, offers public sector professionals the chance to sharpen their automation skills, through self-paced training, community support and expert guidance.
“In these unprecedented times, the Upskill to Agentic Automation program offers public sector professionals with an opportunity to reskill through educational opportunities and training,” said Chris Radich, public sector chief technology officer (CTO) at UiPath. “This program furthers UiPath’s commitment to upskilling and empowering professionals with the in-demand agentic automation skills to succeed in newly emerging careers and remain competitive in their roles.”
