Release notes
July 2024
Release Date: 1 July 2024
Things are moving fast and so are we!
Announced earlier this year, UiPath® has moved to a single annual release in October to maximize the value delivered through each update. The new release strategy is applied consistently across our offerings, including self-hosted server delivery options and UiPath desktop products.
This year, eager to deliver UiPath Autopilot™, we're fast-forwarding our timeline slightly, pushing Studio, Assistant, and Robot ahead of the usual schedule via an interim 2024.10 release. The 2024.10 release for self-hosted server products remains unaffected by this change and is planned, per the normal practice, for October.
Autopilot™
Autopilot™ is an AI-powered suite of capabilities aimed at streamlining a wide range of day-to-day tasks across the UiPath platform. With the ability to understand the context of various elements, such as documents, screens, and processes, it can perform actions suited to your specific needs.
Autopilot integrates seamlessly into workflow design, accelerating and streamlining the development process in Studio, StudioX, and Studio Web. This allows experienced developers to handle more strategic tasks, and simplifies the entry into automation development for citizen developers.
As an Automation Cloud™ user of Apps, Autopilot helps you create application interfaces by expressing your design intentions, providing .pdf files, images, or just text. In Test Manager, you can use Autopilot to simplify and improve your testing portfolio.
Depending on your automation needs, Autopilot is equipped to handle a wide range of tasks. Through Autopilot, you can communicate your requirements using natural language. It also provides advanced capabilities that enable you to perform complex tasks, such as summarizing blocks of automation, or generating applications from .pdf files and images.
Capable of processing large volumes of varied data and generating insights from analysis, Autopilot places valuable decision-making power at your fingertips. Importantly, it does all of this while conforming to data governance and privacy controls, ensuring complete compliance with company policies.

Autopilot™ in Studio, StudioX, and Studio Web
In Studio Web, you can use the Autopilot Recorder to create UI Automation sequences both by generating activites via a natural language prompt or manually adding them. For details, see Autopilot Recorder for UI Automation in the Studio Web guide.
