October 2026 release notes for Agents in Automation Cloud and Test Cloud.

October 20, 2026

Runtime evaluations for deployed agents [Preview]

You can now keep validating your agents after they reach production, not only while you build them. Runtime evaluations score a deployed agent against datasets of inputs and expected outputs, on demand or on a recurring schedule, so regressions, accuracy issues, and unexpected behavior surface without a manual testing cycle.

Because the evaluations run against the deployed agent, the results reflect what is in production rather than a design-time copy. Developers, solution architects, and agent quality and governance teams get ongoing visibility into how reliable each agent stays after deployment. Production runs can also become test cases, so your datasets grow with the cases the agent handles.

For details, refer to Managing runtime evaluations (Preview).

Mention conversational agents in Microsoft Teams channels

You can now add a dedicated Teams app to a standard Teams channel. Anyone in the channel can mention the agent in a thread, and it replies in that same thread, taking the recent messages in the thread into account.

Channel users don't sign in to UiPath. An organization administrator registers the UiPath-provided Conversational Agents external client once for the organization, and the agent runs under the identity of an unattended robot account assigned to its Orchestrator folder. Private and shared channels and file sharing in channels are not supported.

For details, refer to Dedicated Microsoft Teams App.

Correction, October 28, 2026: This feature was released on October 14, 2026, but was not included in the release notes at the time.

Review agents with Autopilot [Preview]

Agent review replaces the Agent score. Ask Autopilot to review your agent, or select the Review agent badge. The review finds critical issues, warnings, and improvements, and grades the agent from A to F based on the number and severity of the issues. Autopilot can fix the issues and apply the improvements in the same conversation.

For details, refer to Agent review.

Bring your own guardrail subscription for agents [Preview]

Your agents can now be protected by your organization's own subscription to a supported safety vendor, not only by the UiPath-managed services. Once an administrator brings a subscription into the AI Trust Layer, its guardrails become available to you alongside the UiPath ones, each marked as BYO and showing which provider evaluates it. Azure AI Language, Azure Content Safety, and Noma are the vendors supported during preview.

You choose and configure them as you do the out-of-the-box guardrails, with the same scopes and actions, and every detection appears in the agent trace together with the provider that produced it.

For details, refer to Configuring guardrails and Out-of-the-box guardrails.
