# Generating automations

> Autopilot helps you generate and refine automations faster and more intuitively using prompt-based generation. With natural-language prompts, you can instruct Autopilot to create workflows, coded logic, or app interfaces that match your intent, without needing to build them manually from scratch.

## Overview

Autopilot helps you generate and refine automations faster and more intuitively using prompt-based generation. With natural-language prompts, you can instruct Autopilot to create workflows, coded logic, or app interfaces that match your intent, without needing to build them manually from scratch.

This experience is non-conversational: you provide one prompt and Autopilot generates the output. It is designed for quick creation, iteration, and understanding of automation components directly inside **Studio**, **Studio Web**, or **Apps**.

Autopilot accelerates the automation design process by handling repetitive, technical setup tasks, and you can focus on higher-value logic, orchestration, and optimization.

:::tip
For an interactive, context-persistent, and chat-based experience, use the Autopilot chat. It offers similar generative capabilities, and allows you to refine, explore, and adjust automations iteratively through natural conversation.

## Where automation generation capabilities are available

* Studio and Studio Web - Use Autopilot to generate coded workflows, activities, and expressions directly in your automation canvas.
* Apps – Use Autopilot to create application interfaces from natural language, documents, or images such as PDFs or screenshots.

Autopilot integrates into your design environment, turning a short instruction into a ready-to-use automation blueprint or interface.

## Capabilities

Autopilot can help you:

* Generate workflows, coded workflows, and test cases using natural language instructions.
* Generate and fix complex expressions directly in the code editor.
* Suggest next steps in an automation by creating sequences of activities.
* Summarize the logic or purpose of activities and sequences.
* Generate application interfaces from Data Service entities, PDFs, screenshots, or text prompts.

:::note
Autopilot capabilities in Studio are available starting with Studio 2024.10.1, and 2024.10.5. For more information, visit the Studio [2024.10.1](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/release-notes-2024-10-1), and [2024.10.5](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/release-notes-2024-10-5) release notes.
