UiPath unveils integration to orchestrate Microsoft Copilot agents
UiPath has announced new capabilities that allow developers to connect and coordinate Microsoft Copilot Studio agents with UiPath and other third-party agents for enterprise automation. The company has rolled out features enabling orchestration of Microsoft Copilot Studio agents alongside UiPath and third-party agents through UiPath Maestro, an enterprise orchestration platform designed to coordinate agents, robots, and people across complex business processes. With this integration, developers are now able to orchestrate Copilot Studio agents directly from Maestro. This development expands upon the bi-directional integration previously announced between UiPath Platform and Microsoft Copilot Studio. This enables seamless interactions between UiPath and Microsoft agents and automations, supporting the automation of complex end-to-end processes, contextual decision-making, improved scalability, and enhanced productivity levels. The integration facilitates embedding UiPath automations and AI agents directly into Microsoft Copilot Studio, as well as incorporating Copilot agents within UiPath Studio, all orchestrated via Maestro. Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at UiPath, commented, "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. 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." Business processes often involve a combination of modern SaaS systems, legacy platforms, documents, desktop applications, and user actions. UiPath states that while several agentic platforms maintain 'walled garden' strategies, the company is focusing on establishing an open ecosystem intended to let customers prioritise business outcomes without being hindered by technology limitations. Through the bi-directional integration with Copilot Studio, Maestro offers built-in capabilities for managing and orchestrating agents from Microsoft Copilot Studio and other platforms in a controlled manner, aimed at delivering tangible business results. Ramnath Natarajan, Director of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration at Johnson Controls, said, "You cannot automate a process in isolation; integrating across technology boundaries is necessary for real business impact." Enterprises using Microsoft Copilot Studio agents and Power Automate for tasks like email monitoring, classification, and intelligent Q&A are seeing quantifiable returns by supplementing these processes with UiPath agentic automation. Johnson Controls, for example, upgraded an existing automation—initially developed with UiPath robots and Power Automate—by introducing a UiPath agent for confidence-based document extraction. According to the company, this modification resulted in a 500% return on investment and projected savings of 18,000 hours a year previously spent on manual document review. Natarajan added, "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." The integration also introduces features that allow customers to use coded agents built with LangGraph natively on the UiPath Platform without any code changes. This allows professional developers to build and test agents using Python tooling, leveraging UiPath benefits such as governance, security, evaluations, and operational support for LangChain agents. Additionally, developers can utilise UiPath UI Agent for computer use, facilitating navigation in real-world enterprise interfaces. This tool, currently in private preview, interprets intent and autonomously plans and acts using computer use models and UiPath's UI Automation functionality. UiPath and Microsoft have established a partnership centred on a shared agentic vision based on industry knowledge and customer choice. Their collaborations include enhanced availability of the Autopilot agent for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, providing joint customers with access to UiPath automation capabilities across both platforms. The two companies are also integrating Azure tools with UiPath agents using an MCP integration, as well as making AI foundry-powered models and capabilities accessible to customers through the UiPath Platform.
