uip conversational

Syntax and options for `uip conversational`, which chats with deployed UiPath conversational agents and manages the conversations that result — chat, agents, and conversations.

uip conversational interacts with deployed conversational agents — Orchestrator-deployed processes exposed as a chat interface, built on the UiPath conversational-agent runtime. This page covers discovering agent releases (agents), starting/managing the conversations you have with them (conversations), and chatting in real time (chat). For conversation history, feedback, voice-channel routing, and profile settings, see Conversational: exchanges, messages, trunks & user-settings.

Concepts

• Agent release — a deployed Orchestrator process release that has conversational capability enabled, identified by a release ID plus the folder it lives in. Discover releases with agents list.
• Conversation — a persistent session against one agent release, created with conversations create, identified by a UUID. All chat activity happens inside a conversation.
• Chat vs. conversations — conversations create/list/get manage the conversation record itself (metadata, label, agent input); chat is the live, real-time interaction with an existing conversation — you create a conversation first, then chat into it.
• --agent-input on conversations create/update is a JSON string that seeds or updates the agent's initial input for the conversation; it's wrapped as { inline: <parsed JSON> } before being sent.

uip conversational chat

Interact with an existing conversation in real time — either a single-shot message (--message) or an interactive REPL (omit --message).

Arguments

Name	Required	Purpose
<conversation-id>	yes	Conversation UUID (from conversations create/list).

Options

Long	Value	Description
-m, --message <text>	string	Send a single message and exit after the exchange completes (non-interactive). Omit to start the interactive REPL instead.

Without --message, chat requires a prompt-capable terminal — it fails fast in a non-interactive environment (CI, piped output) with instructions to use --message instead. In the REPL, type /exit or /quit to end the session, or press Ctrl+C. Assistant responses stream to stdout token-by-token; inline citation markers ([1], [2], ...) render as the response streams, and a --- Citations --- footnote block with titles/URLs prints after each exchange completes, deduplicated across the session.

Examples

# Single-shot message
uip conversational chat b2c3d4e5-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 --message "What's the status of order 4471?"

# Interactive REPL
uip conversational chat b2c3d4e5-0000-0000-0000-000000000001

This command streams human-readable text to stdout rather than emitting the CLI's usual --output json envelope — it's designed for interactive use, not scripting. A start-up or mid-session error is still reported through the standard OutputFormatter.error envelope before the process exits non-zero.

uip conversational agents

Inspect conversational agent releases.

uip conversational agents list

Options

Long	Value	Description
--folder-id <id>	positive integer	Filter conversational agents by folder.

Example

uip conversational agents list --folder-id 123456

Data shape (--output json)
