From Robotic Processes to Agentic Intelligence

UiPath grew on RPA (Robotic Process Automation) technology — simple software robots that transfer data between systems and fill out forms. However, the last 18 months show a fundamental transformation. The company is no longer just an "RPA tool," but a platform for agentic automation — autonomous agents that independently evaluate situations, make decisions, and collaborate with people and other systems.

A key moment came in May 2026, when UiPath, as the first platform on the market, launched native integration for coding agents — UiPath for Coding Agents. In practice, this means developers can use Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or any other agent to create enterprise automations through natural conversation — and UiPath will ensure testing, deployment, oversight, and security policies.

"Now anyone can describe what they want, tell it to a coding agent, and take it all the way to production," said Daniel Dines, founder and CEO of UiPath. And that's precisely the moment when agentic AI begins to impact office professions across the entire company.

Autonomous Agents Also Head to Government Data Centers

Another crucial milestone: UiPath Automation Suite now allows running agentic AI entirely on-premise, i.e., in an organization's own data centers. This is key for government administration, the military, or regulated sectors where data must not leave their own infrastructure. The platform supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — and now also open-source models running exclusively locally.

UiPath meets the strictest standards, including ISO/IEC 42001 (standard for AI management), FedRAMP (security certification for cloud solutions for the US government), and AIUC-1. For European institutions and companies that must comply with GDPR and the upcoming EU AI Act, this is a crucial signal.

Why This is a "Palantir Moment"

The parallel with Palantir is not exaggerated. Palantir became famous for bringing advanced analytics to government and intelligence agencies — and only then expanded into the commercial sphere. UiPath is following a similar path: first conquering the most demanding regulated sectors, where it must demonstrate absolute reliability and security, and only then opening doors to the general enterprise market.

Furthermore, in June 2026, the company introduced Maestro Case — a tool for orchestrating dynamic, exception-laden processes where agents must independently handle deviations from the standard scenario. And Forrester, in its fresh report, named UiPath a leader in document mining and analytics, precisely due to its ability to process documents with the help of agentic AI.

What Does This Mean for Office Positions?

Here comes the less pleasant part of the story. Agentic automation is already taking over entire processes, not just individual tasks. Take a practical example: one logistics company, thanks to Clipboard AI — a UiPath tool for automatic data entry — saved hundreds of hours per week on manually transcribing inventory documents into an ERP system.

It's no longer about "the bot fills out the form for you." It's about the entire process — from document reception, through data extraction, validation, decision on further action, and entry into the system — happening autonomously. Humans only enter the picture as supervisors. And that's a qualitative leap that changes the nature of many administrative professions.

According to UiPath customer data, typical savings range from tens to hundreds of percent — for example, in healthcare, automation accelerated medical record processing by 70%, and in telecommunications, it reduced the activation of business services from days to minutes.

Czech and European Context

UiPath has a strong European presence — including Czech partners and customers. The platform supports operation on European AWS, Azure, and OpenShift clouds, and thanks to its on-premise option, it meets even the strictest data sovereignty requirements. For Czech companies and institutions, this means they can deploy agentic AI without concerns about data leaving the EU.

In terms of pricing, UiPath offers a free tier for trial and enterprise licensing based on the volume of automation — specific prices are determined individually according to the scope of deployment, which is common for enterprise platforms.

In the context of the upcoming EU AI Act, it is important that UiPath already meets the strictest standards for AI risk management — this gives European companies a head start over competitors who are just beginning with certifications.

Agentic Automation as the New Standard

UiPath shows that agentic AI is not just about chat — it's about software beginning to autonomously perform complex work processes. And thanks to an open architecture that supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-source solutions, it doesn't take sides with any specific AI vendor — it becomes a universal layer between AI models and business operations.

While ChatGPT generates answers and Claude writes code, UiPath integrates these capabilities into real business processes — with an audit trail, access management, and security policies. And that's precisely the type of infrastructure that can truly reshape the nature of office work in the coming years.
