2026.10.0

Delegate 2026.10.0 release notes. The Delegate capabilities available in the 2026.10 long-term support release.

Release date: November 12, 2026

Delegate is UiPath's general-purpose desktop AI agent. Describe, say, or demonstrate a task, and Delegate acts across your applications, files, and business systems to complete it, under the same identity, permissions, and audit controls as the rest of the UiPath Platform.

Delegate is available in the 2026.10 long-term support (LTS) release. Delegate 1.6.9 installs on Windows with UiPath Assistant 2026.10.0, through the UiPath Platform Installer. Refer to Install and update and the Delegate user guide.

Working across your desktop

• Task input your way: describe a task in a conversational chat, say it, or record yourself doing it.
• Computer use: Delegate works across desktop apps, browsers, files, and terminals.
• Cross-application tasks: a task that spans systems, such as pulling a figure from a report, checking the related CRM record, and drafting a follow-up, runs end to end.
• Background execution: Native Background mode runs a task in the background while you keep working. Tasks set to In the background can also work with apps that are minimized. The side panel shows the app Delegate is using, and Show in foreground brings it forward.
• Delegate on the taskbar: Delegate has its own taskbar button and icon, and the Delegate shortcuts open it.
• Microsoft Access: the Microsoft Access skill reads tables and queries, exports data, and changes records after you confirm. It needs Microsoft Access, Access Runtime, or the Access Database Engine.
• Long text entry: Delegate pastes long text into apps in one step and restores your clipboard. Pause and Stop work mid-typing.
• Finished deliverables: point Delegate at a spreadsheet, a database export, or a folder of files, and ask for a presentation, a proposal, or a report. Deck revisions update the original file in place and keep its design, and long tables fit on the slide.
• Diagram export: save a diagram as a PNG image, a PDF document, or an SVG file.
• Real interfaces in the chat: for systems connected through MCP Apps, Delegate renders that system's own lists, forms, tables, and dashboards inline, with forms pre-filled.

Planning and running tasks

• Plan mode: /plan has the agent draft a plan for your review, then track it as a task list.
• Subagents: helper agents for parts of a task run alongside the main agent, report in the chat, and ask for approvals there.
• Agent questions in the message box: answer with a choice or your own words, or skip the question.
• Long-running commands: the agent can start a command, keep working, read its output as it runs, and stop it.
• Web search: available with every model family, with no limit on how many searches a task makes.
• Automations in chat: the agent finds, installs, and runs automations from UiPath Assistant. Pick one from the / or + menu.
• Model choice: choose the model for each conversation, and let agents use a more capable model than their chat. Refer to Choosing the LLM model.
• Imported conversations: bring in chats from Claude Code, Claude Cowork, or Codex from Settings > General, and continue them.
• Projects: each project keeps its own rules file, applied at the start of each session, and sets each skill to Always load, Load when needed, or Disable.
• Working offline: the main screen stays available without a connection, and sign-in sits in the message box.
• Guided first run: a splash screen introduces Delegate, asks about your work, and opens your first conversation.

Reusing and sharing work

• Routines: save any successful session as a routine, and run it on demand, on a trigger, or on a schedule. The Run and Schedule forms start empty and show example values as hints. Refer to Repeating work with Routines.
• Routine schedules: schedule a routine from its form, or ask for a schedule in the chat. A schedule runs and shows only for the UiPath user, organization, and tenant that created it, and you get a notification when a scheduled routine is waiting for your approval.
• Task recordings: record yourself performing a task, for up to 60 minutes, and Delegate turns the recording into a routine or a knowledge skill. Recordings save the UiPath selector of each element you click or type into, and the page address in a browser. Before a routine built from your recording runs for the first time, Delegate asks you. Task recording also works on virtual machines and hosted virtual desktops that have no graphics card. Refer to Recording your tasks.
• Recording exclusions: apps and websites you list in Settings > Privacy are left out of recordings and their screenshots, including what you type in them and their window titles.
• Shared skills and routines: publish skills and routines to your Orchestrator tenant's Libraries, or to a shared feed that spans multiple organizations, so teammates can discover and install them. Refer to Sharing skills with your team.
• Plugins: bundle skills, MCP servers, and credential definitions into one distributable package. Refer to Extending functionality with plugins.

Connecting to your systems

• UiPath Platform: Delegate works with Orchestrator, Test Manager, Context Grounding, and Studio.
• Integration Service connectors: connect to the business applications you already use.
• MCP servers: add remote servers (hosted elsewhere, over HTTP) or local servers (running on your machine). Most servers are added in one click from the Orchestrator-backed catalog or the third-party marketplace, and custom servers can be added manually. Refer to Configuring external tools with MCP servers.

Security and governance

• Smart mode: the default approval mode. The agent evaluates each action and asks for your confirmation only on the ones that matter. Change the mode in Settings > Security.
• Restricted access: Settings > Security and each project share one panel for allowed folders, blocked paths, and approvals. Code execution can run in a kernel-enforced sandbox, and folders on USB, SD, and other external drives are reachable only while Removable storage is on. Refer to Local security configuration.
• Command approval cards: a shell command waiting for approval shows the agent's steps above the exact script.
• Central governance with Automation Ops: every control available to a user, such as approval mode, execution mode, screen context, blocked apps and sites, and tool permissions, can also be set and locked centrally. Administrators can also enforce Restricted access, choose where tasks are stored, limit telemetry destinations, and control which models are allowed. Refer to Governance with Automation Ops.
• AI Trust Layer: model calls route through the UiPath AI Trust Layer, whichever model you use.
• Backup and restore: back up and restore your local settings, independently of central governance. Refer to Backup and restore.

Delegate for Testing

Delegate for Testing is Delegate running with the QA/Testing work profile, for testers who hold a Test Cloud AppTestDeveloper or AppTesters license. A single natural-language prompt can retrieve test steps, execute them on the desktop, publish results to Test Manager, and send a report. Through the Test Cloud plugin, it can:

• Link automations to test cases: link an existing Orchestrator automation to a Test Manager test case.
• Generate test reports: generate persona-tailored, shareable reports from Test Manager execution data.
• Execute manual tests: run a manual test case on the desktop, record per-step execution traces, and publish results back to Test Manager.

Refer to Delegate for Testing overview.

Accessibility and language

• Interface language: the interface and chat are translated, and generated documents follow the language you use.
• Screen readers: replies, tool status, window controls, tables, and the message box are announced.
• Keyboard access: chat, settings, schedules, date pickers, and dialogs work by keyboard.
• Search: find a setting or bundled skill by name or description, and open it.
