# Agents (Preview)

> UiPath agents built with your coding agent, the skill that powers them, and where to go deeper.

UiPath agents are AI-driven automations that reason over a goal and take actions to reach it, rather than following a fixed sequence of steps. With a coding agent, you can describe the agent you want and have it scaffolded, wired up, and ready to run.

## What you build

A typical agent handles work that benefits from judgment — triaging requests, drafting responses, or deciding which downstream automation to call. Your coding agent can build these in Python — with LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or OpenAI Agents — or in a low-code form, depending on what you ask for.

When an agent is one step in a larger process — with approvals, branching, and other systems — it can run as a node inside a [Maestro Flow](build-maestro-flows.md), which orchestrates it alongside people, RPA, and other automations.

## The skill behind it

This work is powered by the `uipath-agents` skill, which your coding agent selects when you describe an agent. You can see it alongside the rest in the [Skills catalog](skills-catalog.md).

## A typical starting prompt

A first request might look like this:

"Create a UiPath agent that reads a new support ticket, classifies its urgency, and drafts a suggested reply for a human to approve."

From there you refine the agent conversationally — adjusting its inputs, tools, and approval steps.

## More prompts to try

- Build a UiPath agent that classifies incoming support tickets and posts the category to Slack.
- Build a Python agent that reads invoices from a queue, extracts fields, asks a human to confirm low-confidence ones, and writes the results back.
- Add a human-in-the-loop step that creates an Action Center task and resumes when it's completed.
- Set up an evaluation set for my agent with sample inputs and expected outputs.
