UiPath Platform Launches for Smarter Enterprise Automation
Home » Top stories » UiPath Platform Launches for Smarter Enterprise Automation
UiPath (NYSE: PATH) has introduced its next-generation UiPath Platform for agentic automation. This release brings together AI agents, robots, and humans into one intelligent, secure, and scalable system. The UiPath Platform enables enterprises to create, deploy, and manage automation with high flexibility and compliance.
The platform is now available via a free trial on uipath.com. Some features remain in preview and are expected to become generally available throughout May 2025.
Many businesses struggle to scale AI due to compliance concerns, vendor lock-in, and unreliable pilots. The UiPath Platform addresses these issues. It combines years of automation expertise with a new agentic architecture designed for critical enterprise workflows.
UiPath CEO Daniel Dines said the company is entering its second act. He noted that the platform unifies AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and human decision-making. This helps organizations achieve smarter workflows without added complexity. He also highlighted that the future of AI lies in orchestration and intelligence.
Agentic automation combines proven RPA, AI models, and human input into efficient and governed workflows. These workflows adapt and respond intelligently, making automation both powerful and trusted.
At the center of the UiPath Platform is Maestro, the new orchestration layer. It helps automate and optimize business processes end-to-end. Built-in intelligence and KPI monitoring support continuous improvement. This orchestration enables safe scaling of AI-powered agents across enterprise systems and teams.
The platform uses a controlled agency model to ensure that AI agents operate within strict boundaries. Enterprises benefit from strong governance, real-time vulnerability checks, and strict data access control.
UiPath CTO Raghu Malpani said the company is targeting more than 95% agent accuracy. He emphasized that reliability and trust are central to the platform's development roadmap.
The UiPath Platform supports both low-code and full-code development. Developers can use UiPath Agent Builder inside UiPath Studio to create agents. Business users and experienced programmers can both build automations suited to complex needs.
Chief Product Officer Graham Sheldon said that over three million developers can now integrate agents into existing workflows. He also noted that the platform unlocks new customization options for advanced users.
The UiPath Platform supports integrations with LangChain, Anthropic, and Microsoft frameworks. It works with multi-agent systems across enterprise functions. The company also partnered with Google Cloud to support Agent2Agent (A2A), a new open protocol. A2A allows AI agents to exchange information securely and coordinate actions across platforms.
LangChain CEO Harrison Chase said the collaboration helps developers build agents with confidence. He confirmed that LangGraph agents will be able to operate within UiPath environments, creating more connected workflows.
UiPath also introduced a new solution called IXP—Intelligent Xtraction & Processing. It uses multimodal AI for classifying and extracting data from unstructured documents. It is suited for use cases such as loan origination, claims processing, and batch record management.
A new UI Agent is now in private preview. This agent can understand user intent and execute tasks across applications using natural language. Malpani noted that it does more than replicate clicks—it understands context and plans tasks.
The UiPath Platform has already gained strong adoption since the private preview began in January 2025. Over 75,000 agent runs
More than 11,000 enrollments in agentic automation training
450+ partners participating in courses
30+ Fast Track agentic badges awarded
Hundreds of customer use cases developed
Lawrence Fong, Director of Digital and IT at Cathay, said that UiPath supports the company's digital strategy. He believes agentic automation will help organizations scale faster and make better decisions. According to him, these technologies are shifting automation from basic workflows to intelligent orchestration.
The UiPath Platform marks a major evolution in enterprise automation. It provides the tools needed to scale AI responsibly while empowering people and improving efficiency across industries.

How unsanctioned staff AI use exposes firms to data breach?
As chat bots that continue to grow in prominence across the globe and grab the attention of billions of people, a silent problem of privacy breaches is brewing, putting at risk companies that process scores of personal data. Cybersecurity firm Harmonic Security analysed over 176,000 prompts input by about 8,000 users into popular generative (gen) AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Perplexity AI, and Microsoft's Copilot, and found that troves of sensitive information make their way into the platforms through the prompts. In the quarter to March 2025, about 6.7 percent of the prompts tracked contained sensitive information including customer personal data, employee data, company confidential legal and finance details, or even sensitive code. About 30 percent of the sensitive data were legal and finance data on companies' planned mergers or acquisitions, investment portfolio, legal discourse, billing and payment, sales pipeline, or even financial projections. Read: AIdentity crisis: How tech is easing online fraudCustomer data like credit card numbers, transactions, or profiles also made their way to these platforms through the prompts, as did employee information like payroll details and employment profiles. Developers seeking to improve or perfect their codes using genAI tools also inadvertently passed on copyrighted or intellectual property material, security keys, and network information into the bots, exposing their companies to fraudsters. Asked about the safety of such information, chat bots like ChatGPT always say the information is safe and is not shared with third parties. Even their terms of service say as much, but experts have a warning. While the information may seem secure within the bots and pose no threat of breach, the experts say it is time companies start checking and restricting what information their employees feed into these platforms, or risk massive data breaches.'One of the privacy risks when using AI platforms is unintentional data leakage,' warns Anna Collard, senior vice president for content strategy at cybersecurity firm KnowBe4 Africa. 'Many people don't realise just how much sensitive information they're inputting.''Cyber hygiene now includes AI hygiene. This should include restricting access to genAI tools without oversight or only allowing those approved by the company.'While a majority of companies around the globe now acknowledge the importance of AI in their operations and are beginning to adopt it, only a few organisations have policies or checks for AI output. According to McKinsey's latest State of AI survey that interviewed business leaders across the globe, only 27 percent of companies fully review content generated by AI. Forty three percent of companies check less than 40 percent of such content. But AI use is growing by the minute. Large language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have trampled social media apps that have long been digital magnets in user visits and hours of daily interactions. Read: 'Godfather of AI' now fears it's unsafe. Proposes plan to rein it inMultiple studies, including the one by McKinsey, show that today, nearly three in four employees use genAI to complete simple tasks like writing a speech, proofreading a write-up, writing an email, analysing a document, generating a quotation, or even writing computer programmes. The rapid proliferation of Chinese-based LLMs like Deepseek is also seen increasing the threat of data breaches to companies. Over the past year, there has been an avalanche of new Chinese chat bots, including Baidu chat, Ernie Bot, Qwen chat, Manus, and Kimi Moonshot among others.'The Chinese government can likely just request access to this data, and data shared with them should be considered property of the Chinese Communist Party,' notes Harmonic in a recent report. © Copyright 2022 Nation Media Group.
