Autopilot™ for Everyone now in Slack

Introduction

We are thrilled to announce UiPath Autopilot™ for Everyone is now available in the Slack Marketplace, ready to revolutionize your workflow. Building on the success of our Microsoft Teams integration, we're expanding our reach to bring the power of AI-driven automation directly into another popular collaboration platform. This Slack integration empowers teams to leverage UiPath Autopilot's capabilities within their preferred communication hub.

Bridging the gap: AI meets collaboration

Imagine having a powerful AI assistant seamlessly integrated into your daily Slack conversations. That's exactly what UiPath Autopilot brings to the table. This isn't just another chatbot — it's a sophisticated AI agent capable of understanding context, executing complex automations, and interfacing with your existing tech stack.

Key features

• Real-time NLP and Data Analysis: Harness Autopilot's natural language processing to summarize, analyze, and act on insights directly within Slack DMs.

• Dynamic workflow Orchestration: Seamlessly chain multiple automations or execute API calls programmatically, solving complex problems within Slack's collaborative ecosystem without switching contexts.

• Intelligent Extraction Processing (IXP) integration: Employ state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning techniques to extract, classify, and process documents shared in Slack messages, leveraging UiPath robust IXP capabilities.

UiPath automations have been available in Slack for several years. While many customers found value in launching our more deterministic robots within Slack, modern organizations want ways to interact with their goal-based AI agents, like Autopilot, as well.

This new integration unlocks a host of new use cases in every discipline from IT service management to HR queries to product support.

Use-case scenario

Lisa, a Sales Executive at UiPath, can crowdsource a potential customer's 10-K filings, public articles, and transcripts of calls from her teammates on a Slack channel and runs an automation in Autopilot in Slack to summarize potential automation opportunities at the customer using UiPath intelligent document processing. Autopilot generates a bulleted list, which Lisa can share in the account channel for feedback

Once the team agrees on the right opportunities to pursue, Lisa asks Autopilot to check if there is an open Salesforce opportunity. Autopilot extracts account information and past opportunities from Salesforce, confirms that an opportunity exists, and triggers an automation to update it.

Lastly, Lisa asks Autopilot to identify the right stakeholder and draft an introductory email.

UiPath Autopilot Slack is built on the robust foundation of the UiPath Platform, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for end-to-end automation:
