Agentic AI Summit recap: Embracing AI transformation enterprise-wide

Agentic AI Summit recap: Embracing AI transformation enterprise-wide

Businesses are done playing with AI. They are getting real results with agentic automation. The most forward-thinking enterprises are orchestrating AI agents, deterministic robots, and people into impactful, end-to-end workflows. At our recent Agentic AI Summit, we showcased how UiPath customers are building autonomous enterprise agents to drive transformational value and change the way we work.

One of the best examples came from Emily Krohne, Enterprise Automation Principal at WEX, the global payments company. After leading a three-year transformation with UiPath, Emily is driving an agentic automation program to enhance sales team preparation and streamline document processing. Check out my full interview as part of the Agentic AI Summit Keynote here.

In this recap, I’ll share the most compelling stories and announcements from the UiPath Agentic AI Summit:

UiPath Agent Builder: how to build, test, and deploy specialized enterprise agents

Enterprises want to use AI agents but need to ensure accurate, consistent, and trustworthy results. Yet, they lack the tools to build, test, and deploy these agents alongside robots and people. Organizations seek to create AI agents and orchestrate their activity in complex workflows—with robots for routine, deterministic tasks and people for critical decisions. They also require ways to customize, inspect, and refine agent behavior to increase their accuracy over time.

At the Summit, we showed how UiPath helps customers develop specialized enterprise agents. UiPath Senior Product Manager Zach Eslami announced the April 30 global launch of UiPath Agent Builder. Agent Builder is a unified tool for building, testing, and deploying AI agents. It supports both pro-code and low-code users, offering simple natural language agent creation, prebuilt templates, memory and business context, as well as evaluation tools. Agent Builder creates specialized AI agents that work seamlessly across systems and ecosystems in governed, orchestrated workflows.

Let’s see Agent Builder in action! Imagine you’re a financial services provider seeking to build an AI agent for your loan origination and approval process. Agent Builder allows you to create the agent by selecting a model, providing instructions in the form of prompts, and giving the agent a set of useful tools. It also makes it easy to give your agents relevant business context and add escalation paths to ensure your team is kept in the loop.

At a recent agentic hackathon, WEX developers used Agent Builder, UiPath Autopilot™, and our agentic orchestration capabilities to address several business challenges. In code management, WEX built a new agent, GitHub Manager, which is estimated to save 6,000 work hours annually. For claims processing, a claims review agent now cuts review time from hours to mere seconds. Lastly, a multi-agent fraud detection system helps WEX streamline investigations, making their fraud prevention process more proactive and adaptable.

Agentic orchestration: enabling multi-agent collaboration with robots and people

Businesses are increasingly adopting AI and automation tools, including AI agents, to optimize processes. However, the growing complexity of business operations—driven by a mix of siloed capabilities licensed from multiple vendors—creates challenges in process management, security, and governance. Agentic orchestration addresses this by seamlessly integrating agentic, robotic, and human-centric workflows with the systems and applications necessary for process execution. It transforms disconnected automated tasks into cohesive, end-to-end processes, enabling businesses to scale AI effectively while maintaining visibility and control.

The UiPath Platform™ is an agentic orchestration leader; at the Summit, our Vice President of Product Management Arun Mehta demonstrated this with the reveal of UiPath Maestro. Now in public preview, Maestro empowers customers to orchestrate work with an ecosystem-agnostic approach. That means that, irrespective of which platform the agents or automations were built on, or which AI models they are using, every business can now model, operate, and optimize its processes with a well-tuned symphony involving multiple agents and robots—as well as people always in the loop as the leaders, coordinators, and ultimate decision makers.

How UiPath Maestro works across the end-to-end process lifecycle

In the example below, Maestro orchestrates an end-to-end invoice process. See how Maestro coordinates the entire workflow, seamlessly handing off work between robots, people, and a purchase order matching agent to rapidly fulfill the request:

Our customers are eager to run cross-ecosystem agentic automations with Maestro. Hannes Hudd, Manager, Business Process Automation Development at Wärtsilä, a global manufacturer of marine and energy solutions, said:

Agentic orchestration is where business processes and flows come together with people, automation, and AI. The product's capabilities and the rapid development pace achieved by UiPath are truly impressive! The future vision for agentic orchestration is exceptionally promising, and we are excited to see its full potential realized.

UiPath Maestro is now available for all UiPath Automation Cloud™ customers to try ahead of its April 30 release. If you are not already a customer, you can try Automation Cloud for free—with UiPath Maestro included.

IXP: transform complex documents into actionable data at speed and scale

Technology analyst firm IDC has reported that 90% of data generated in an enterprise is unstructured—most often locked away in complex documents ranging from patient notes to purchase orders. This valuable context is essential for AI agents to perform at the required level of autonomy, and enterprises will need to leverage advanced intelligent document processing (IDP) capabilities to unlock this data and make it actionable.  

Mark Geene, UiPath SVP & General Manager of AI Products, showed how we are supporting businesses and AI agents with our best-in-class IDP solution. He announced the April release of our new product, UiPath IXP (Intelligent Xtraction and Processing). IXP is a major leap for UiPath IDP, leveraging AI advances that enable rapid multimodal data extraction. It provides an intuitive, prompt-based experience that eliminates the need for extensive data labeling, cutting time to production. UiPath IXP extracts the information you need from all document types, empowering you to automate more of your existing processes. 

Automation engineers at WEX are already using UiPath IXP to build, test, and deploy extraction models at scale.

Importing our documents to train was easy, and the predictive labeling saves us a lot of time with training. We specifically leaned into this solution because of its strong capability to recognize document types with minimal effort.
