UiPath Inc. unveiled more than a dozen new features for its automation platform at its FUSION conference in Las Vegas, aiming to cut the time knowledge workers spend on repetitive business tasks. Many of the additions are available now, while others are set to arrive next month. The platform combines artificial intelligence agents, scripts and third-party applications, and the company says more than 3 million developers use it to build automation workflows.
The centerpiece is a tool called Cartographer, which targets the earliest and often slowest stage of an automation project: figuring out how employees actually carry out the manual work a company wants to accelerate. That discovery process can take weeks, because businesses must document not only the normal steps workers follow but also how they handle unusual situations and mistakes. Cartographer gathers that data on its own and produces a ready-to-use automation workflow that includes features for measuring how well it performs. After the workflow goes into production, a capability called the Decision Ledger records the actions it takes, giving enterprises information they can use to improve accuracy.
UiPath founder and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Dines said a process map shows how work is meant to run, while Cartographer uncovers the operational knowledge of how it really runs, including every exception and judgment call, and keeps the two in sync.
Cartographer is available today. Next month it will be joined by updates to Test Cloud, the part of UiPath's platform built to speed up software testing. Engineers typically scan applications for bugs using scripts that mimic user activity, and writing those scripts, gathering their results and pulling out key data points takes significant effort. A Test Cloud feature called Autonomous Exploration is intended to reduce that burden by letting engineers test an application through high-level bug detection goals rather than scripted steps. Test Cloud can also blend manual and automated approaches; UiPath said engineers can now have the platform run tests they wrote by hand against their applications. A new AI agent, UiPath Delegate, automates administrative work such as preparing interface test summaries.
The third area of focus is the UiPath Integration Service, which supplies connectors that let automation workflows work with third-party applications. UiPath is adding features that allow workflows to connect to databases and to MCP-based AI agent tools. A new capability called Relay links to on-premises workloads. Customers can keep the login credentials their workflows use for external applications in their existing secrets vaults, removing the need to hold a separate copy inside UiPath and simplifying administrators' work.
UiPath also introduced governance controls that help enterprises confirm the AI components of their automation workflows run reliably. In addition, a feature called UiPath Coding Agents, which first appeared in March, has reached general availability, allowing developers to build automation workflows with AI tools such as Claude Code.
