UiPath Advances Open Agentic Ecosystem through Bi-directional Integrations with Microsoft..........
UiPath, a
global leader in agentic automation, announced new
capabilities that enable the orchestration of Microsoft Copilot Studio agents
alongside UiPath and other third-party agents using UiPath Maestro, an
enterprise orchestration solution to seamlessly coordinate agents, robots, and
people across complex processes. Developers can now orchestrate Microsoft
Copilot Studio agents directly from Maestro.
This
capability builds on bi-directional integration
between the UiPath Platform and Microsoft Copilot Studio recently
announced by Microsoft, that facilitates seamless interaction between UiPath
and Microsoft agents and automations — allowing customers to automate complex
end-to-end processes, enable contextual decision-making, improve scalability,
and unlock new levels of productivity. Developers can now embed UiPath
automations and AI agents directly into Microsoft Copilot Studio and integrate
Copilot agents within UiPath Studio— all while orchestrating seamlessly
across platforms with UiPath Maestro.
“Our
continued partnership with Microsoft enables millions of Microsoft users to
take full advantage of the capabilities and flexibility offered by agentic
automation and orchestration,” said Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at
UiPath. “The UiPath multi-agent, cross-system capability uniquely enables
seamless interaction and collaboration across various enterprise systems and
applications, breaking down silos and enhancing overall operational
efficiency.”
Building an Open Ecosystem
Business
processes are complex, spanning modern SaaS systems, legacy platforms,
documents, desktop applications and user actions.
As several
agentic platforms continue to take ‘walled garden’ approaches, UiPath is
committed to building an open ecosystem so customers can focus on business
outcomes without getting bogged down by technology limitations. UiPath Maestro
can leverage the bi-directional integration with Copilot Studio to give
customers built-in capabilities to build, manage, and orchestrate agents built
in Microsoft Copilot Studio and other platforms in a controlled and scalable
way—all while driving tangible business outcomes.
“You cannot
automate a process in isolation; integrating across technology boundaries is
necessary for real business impact,” remarked Ramnath Natarajan, Director of
Global Intelligent Automation & Integration at Johnson Controls.
Real World Applications
Customers
who use Microsoft Copilot Studio agents and Power Automate for email
monitoring, email classification and intelligent Q&A are already seeing
measurable ROI by augmenting their processes with UiPath agentic automation.
For
example, Johnson Controls enhanced an existing automation—originally built with
UiPath robots and Power Automate—by adding a UiPath agent for confidence-based
document extraction. The result: a 500% return on investment and projected
savings of 18,000 hours annually that were previously spent on manual document
review.
“This
bi-directional integration harnesses the combined strengths of Microsoft
Copilot and UiPath agents to fully automate complex workflows across documents,
emails, PowerApps, and enterprise systems,” added Ramnath Natarajan, Director
of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration Johnson Controls.
Empowering Developers
The
integration extends other new capabilities that
elevate business processes and drive smarter outcomes with agentic automation
across departments and platforms. For instance, customers can now run coded
agents built using LangGraph natively on the UiPath Platform without changing a
single line of code. This empowers professional developers to build and test
their agents using Python tooling while getting advantages of the UiPath
Platform including governance, security, evaluations, and more—while running
LangChain agents in their business process.
Developers
can also use UiPath UI Agent for computer use, to navigate real-world
enterprise interfaces. The UiPath UI Agent understands intent, plans, and acts
autonomously using a combination of computer use models and UiPath industry
leading UI Automation. UI Agent is currently in private
preview.
Partnership with Microsoft
UiPath has
partnered with Microsoft to build a joint agentic vision anchored on industry
leadership and customer choice. These integrations join the availability
of its enhanced Autopilot agent for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft
Teams, allowing joint customers access to UiPath
enterprise-grade automation capabilities from anywhere they use Copilot for
Microsoft 365 or Teams.
UiPath and
Microsoft are also working together to make Azure tools discoverable to UiPath
agents with an MCP integration as well as bring models and capabilities built
on AI foundry to customers through the UiPath Platform.
