About Autopilot™

Autopilot is a set of AI-powered experiences designed to automate and streamline various day-to-day tasks. Its diverse functionalities handle both general productivity and department-specific tasks across an array of business areas.

Autopilot understands the context of various elements like documents, screens, communications, and processes, and performs actions accordingly.

Autopilot across the platform

Autopilot offers two complementary experiences that help you create and work with automations: generative Autopilot and Autopilot chat, and a versioned conversational experience called Autopilot for Everyone. All these use the same underlying AI capabilities, but differ in how and where you interact with them.

Generative Autopilot

Generative Autopilot allows you to create automations, tests, or app interfaces from a single natural language prompt. This experience is prompt-based: you describe what you want, and Autopilot generates the corresponding output instantly, without an ongoing conversation. You can use generative Autopilot to: Generate automations: In Studio, StudioX, and Studio Web, where you can generate workflows and expressions by describing the desired outcome. In Apps, where you can enhance your low-code application development process. Generate tests: In Test Manager, where you can evaluate requirements such as user stories for quality aspects such as clarity, consistency, and completeness, generate manual test cases with step-by-step instructions, and gain actionable insights into failing test cases. In Studio, where you can automate manual test cases and generate synthetic test data.

Conversational Autopilot

Conversational Autopilot provides an interactive, chat-based experience that lets you communicate naturally with Autopilot inside your UiPath environment. It reads the context of your current page or project and answers questions, explains automations, or suggests improvements. This experience is ideal for exploration, refinement, and problem-solving. Rather than entering a single prompt, you can have a back-and-forth conversation with Autopilot to iteratively achieve your goal.

Autopilot for Everyone

Autopilot for Everyone is a versioned conversational Autopilot available solely in Assistant and Assistant web. It provides business users with an easy, conversational way to run automations, query data sources, analyze images and files, access Clipboard AI, and leverage generative AI capabilities. It comes with a catalog of pre-built toolsets, available for download from the Marketplace. Autopilot for Everyone focuses on running existing automations rather than designing them.

Capabilities

Regardless of the particular Autopilot tool you are using or interacting with, there are some core features that persist across different use cases. Here are the main characteristics:

• AI-powered: Autopilot uses artificial intelligence to accurately interpret inputs and execute corresponding tasks. This enables you to interact with Autopilot using natural language.
• Automation generation: Autopilot can automate a wide range of tasks, from data extraction and paperwork processing, to more complex operations. It can interpret your requests, convert them to workflows or applications, and suggest fixes.
• Self-service and assisted experiences: Autopilot covers both self-service and assisted experiences:
  • If you have a clear understanding of your automation needs and you can describe it in natural language, you can use the Autopilot extensive self-service features, which include:
    • text to workflow,
    • text to coded workflows,
    • text to expressions,
    • text to test cases,
    • text to application.
  • If you find it challenging to convey complex tasks in natural language, you can use the many assisted experiences, which include:
    • summarizing blocks of automation,
    • suggested best practices and optimizations,
    • generating applications from PDF files and images.
• Cross-application compatibility: Autopilot is designed to work seamlessly across both web-based and desktop applications, and it accepts inputs from various sources, and integrating with popular apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many more.
• Comprehensive data processing: Autopilot can analyze large volumes of data, generate useful insights, and suggest actions based on analysis. Its ability to handle various data types from multiple sources can significantly impact your decision-making processes.
• Streamlining automation: Featuring a user-friendly and intuitive interface, Autopilot is accessible to everybody, irrespective of your technical proficiency.
• Contextually aware: Autopilot goes beyond just understanding prompts. It understands the context of your requests, and provides the basis for optimal results.
• Process optimization: Autopilot is not just designed to perform tasks, but to perform them optimally. It learns from experience, enhances efficiency, and consistently aims for the best possible output.
• Compliance: To ensure compliance with company policies, data governance and privacy controls are available to IT admins.
