UiPath launches UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation (and also presents a new logo)
Intelligent Document Processing provider UiPath has announced the launch of its UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation, a platform designed to unite AI agents, robots and humans in a single intelligent system. Daniel Dines, Founder and CEO of UiPath, explained: “With this launch, we fully enter our second act. We’ve built a platform that unifies AI, RPA, and human decision making so companies can deliver smarter, more resilient workflows without added complexity. As models and chips commoditize, the value of AI moves up the stack to orchestration and intelligence. That’s where UiPath leads. But we also lead in empowering people—to be more creative, more productive—and to reach their full potential. That’s where UiPath’s mission continues.” One of the key capabilities of the UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation is UiPathIXP (Intelligent Xtraction and Processing), the recently launched platform that integrates its existing Intelligent Document Processing products (Document Understanding and Communications Mining) with a new multi-modal data extraction capability. In addition to the launch of the UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation, the IDP provider also presented a new logo. UiPath commented on this: “A new era. A new logo. A whole new spark. Today, we launch the UiPath Platform for Agentic Automation—and with it, a new visual identity that reflects where we’re headed. We’ve stepped outside the box—literally and figuratively. The updated design reflects where we’re headed: helping enterprises build and manage agentic ecosystems where AI agents, robots and people work together to make workflows flow effortlessly.”
