UiPath Advances Open Agentic Ecosystem through Bi-directional Integrations with Microsoft Copilot Studio

can use the bi-directional platform integration to orchestrate Microsoft agents
alongside UiPath agents using UiPath Maestro™
India,
Mumbai – May 20, 2025 – UiPath (NYSE: PATH), 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.
