UiPath announces bi‍-‍directional integrations with Copilot

Enterprise automation and AI software company UiPath has introduced new capabilities that enable developers to connect Microsoft Copliot Studio agents with UiPath and other third-party agents.

The company says UiPath Maestro supports seamless, bi-directional interaction between UiPath and Microsoft agents. The platform can be used to coordinate agents, robots and people across complex processes.

The launch follows Microsoft’s recent announcement of bi-directional integration between UiPath and Microsoft Copilot Studio, designed to allow customers to automate complex processes and enable contextual decision-making.

Developers can also use UiPath UI Agent for computer use. The agent is designed to understand intent, and plans and acts autonomously using a combination of computer use models and UI automation.

As part of its partnership with Microsoft, UiPath has also recently introduced an enhanced Autopilot agent for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. The two companies are also collaborating to make Azure tools discoverable to UiPath agents with an MCP integration, as well as on bringing models and capabilities built on Microsoft’s AI foundry to customers through the UiPath Platform.

UiPath Chief Product Officer Graham Sheldon said the partnership “enables millions of Microsoft users to take full advantage of the capabilities and flexibility offered by agentic automation and orchestration”.

“The UiPath multi-agent, cross-system capability uniquely enables seamless interaction and collaboration across various enterprise systems and applications, breaking down siloes and enhancing overall operational efficiency,” he said.
