UiPath Annonces Bi-directional Integrations With Microsoft Copilot Studio
This capability builds on bi-directional integration between the UiPath Platform and Microsoft Copilot Studio recently announced by Microsoft, that facilitates seamless interaction between UiPath and Microsoft agents and automations — allowing customers to automate complex end-to-end processes, enable contextual decision-making, improve scalability, and unlock new levels of productivity. Developers can now embed UiPath automations and AI agents directly into Microsoft Copilot Studio and integrate Copilot agents within UiPath Studio— all while orchestrating seamlessly across platforms with UiPath Maestro.
'Our continued partnership with Microsoft enables millions of Microsoft users to take full advantage of the capabilities and flexibility offered by agentic automation and orchestration,' said Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at UiPath. 'The UiPath multi-agent, cross-system capability uniquely enables seamless interaction and collaboration across various enterprise systems and applications, breaking down silos and enhancing overall operational efficiency.'
Building an Open Ecosystem
Business processes are complex, spanning modern SaaS systems, legacy platforms, documents, desktop applications and user actions.
As several agentic platforms continue to take 'walled garden' approaches, UiPath is committed to building an open ecosystem so customers can focus on business outcomes without getting bogged down by technology limitations. UiPath Maestro can leverage the bi-directional integration with Copilot Studio to give customers built-in capabilities to build, manage, and orchestrate agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and other platforms in a controlled and scalable way—all while driving tangible business outcomes.
'You cannot automate a process in isolation; integrating across technology boundaries is necessary for real business impact,' remarked Ramnath Natarajan, Director of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration at Johnson Controls.
Real World Applications
Customers who use Microsoft Copilot Studio agents and Power Automate for email monitoring, email classification and intelligent Q&A are already seeing measurable ROI by augmenting their processes with UiPath agentic automation.
For example, Johnson Controls enhanced an existing automation—originally built with UiPath robots and Power Automate—by adding a UiPath agent for confidence-based document extraction. The result: a 500% return on investment and projected savings of 18,000 hours annually that were previously spent on manual document review.
'This bi-directional integration harnesses the combined strengths of Microsoft Copilot and UiPath agents to fully automate complex workflows across documents, emails, PowerApps, and enterprise systems,' added Ramnath Natarajan, Director of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration Johnson Controls.
Empowering Developers
The integration extends other new capabilities that elevate business processes and drive smarter outcomes with agentic automation across departments and platforms. For instance, customers can now run coded agents built using LangGraph natively on the UiPath Platform without changing a single line of code. This empowers professional developers to build and test their agents using Python tooling while getting advantages of the UiPath Platform including governance, security, evaluations, and more—while running LangChain agents in their business process.
Developers can also use UiPath UI Agent for computer use, to navigate real-world enterprise interfaces. The UiPath UI Agent understands intent, plans, and acts autonomously using a combination of computer use models and UiPath industry leading UI Automation. UI Agent is currently in private preview.
Partnership with Microsoft
UiPath has partnered with Microsoft to build a joint agentic vision anchored on industry leadership and customer choice. These integrations join the availability of its enhanced Autopilot agent for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, allowing joint customers access to UiPath enterprise-grade automation capabilities from anywhere they use Copilot for Microsoft 365 or Teams.
UiPath and Microsoft are also working together to make Azure tools discoverable to UiPath agents with an MCP integration as well as bring models and capabilities built on AI foundry to customers through the UiPath Platform. 0 0

Together, they become one of our largest partners, better positioned than ever to serve our mutual customers with broader reach, deeper expertise, and enhanced capabilities. We're excited about the opportunities this combination brings for the innovation we will jointly deliver and the impact this will have on our shared customers,' said Nicole Dezen, CVP and Chief Partner Officer at Microsoft. With total revenue of approximately CHF 1.6 billion, presence across 70+ countries and around 13,000 employees, the combined company is well-positioned as a preferred partner to both customers and vendors globally, driving additional growth and significant value creation for shareholders. The compelling strategic rationale is based on the two companies' complementary geographical footprint, customer base and offering, as well as shared values and culture. Following a joint evaluation, the unified organization will operate under the SoftwareOne name and logo, leveraging its global brand recognition while incorporating Crayon's distinctive strengths and legacy. This decision reflects the strategic integration of both companies' capabilities, values, and market presence.

During a transition period, the Crayon brand will remain active to ensure consistency, continuity, and recognition across customers and employees, channel, and partner engagements. With completion of the transaction, integration of the two companies officially starts today based on an established governance structure and thorough preparation by working groups from both companies since beginning of the year. Preparation spanned key functions, including strategy, sales & marketing, people & culture, IT, finance, amongst others, supported by internal and external post-merger experts. Following the announcement of the new Executive Board led by Co-CEOs Raphael Erb and Melissa Mulholland, the Regional Presidents have also been appointed. In addition to delivering on the synergy targets, the integration process will encompass implementation of a joint operating model, harmonisation of GTM and offering, as well as integration of IT systems and consolidation of legal structures in overlapping countries. Throughout the process, safeguarding customer relationships and retention of talent will remain priorities. The combined company will retain its legal domicile in Stans, Switzerland, while Oslo will remain an important hub for both sales activities and certain other functions.
