an enterprise automation platform that combines robotic process automation, document processing, orchestration, and AI agents
UiPath is an enterprise automation platform: robots, agents, orchestration, and a human task queue under one governance model.
Generally available since September 23, 2026. A desktop agent on Windows and macOS that learns a task from a description, voice, or one demonstration, and works across desktop apps, browsers, terminals, and mainframes. Every action runs under the UiPath Platform's identity, permissions, and audit.
Orchestrate for long-running processes and Automate for high-volume tasks.
Built in Studio, with escalations to Action Center and a Runtime Checker that validates agent behavior against policy.
Automation Cloud, on premises, or Automation Suite for Linux.
Pricing: Community is free; Basic starts at $25 a month with user caps and European hosting only; Standard and Enterprise are quoted.
UiPath's governance comes from platform components you adopt first. That is great if you have them, and a project if you do not.
Delegate expects a UiPath tenant. A plant with no estate starts with setup, identity, and policies.
An approval screen with the teardown sheet beside the return is an Action app a developer creates.
Warranty terms and disposition maps live in workflow logic and data services.
Delegate re-plans, robot selectors are repaired in Studio, and self-healing is an Enterprise feature.
Basic is hosted in Europe only, which matters for some U.S. plants.
LaunchAI is one desktop app with Rules and Tables, a built-in review step, and per-action screenshots. See Product →.
| UiPath | LaunchAI | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Enterprises standardizing on one platform, often with a center of excellence | Mid-market teams where the process owner builds and maintains |
| What you adopt first | A platform tenant, then robots, agents, and Delegate seats | One desktop application |
| Build method | Delegate: describe, speak, or record once; robots in Studio | Describe and show in the Studio; each step runs live and is approved |
| Operating systems | Delegate on Windows and macOS | Mac, Windows, Linux |
| Exact rules | Workflow logic built by developers | Rules and Tables, no model call |
| Human review | Action Center tasks | A review step anywhere, source beside the record |
| Evidence | Platform audit; Delegate logs every action | Before-and-after screenshots, value lineage, tamper-evident export |
| Scale ceiling | Thousands of unattended robots | Workstations and dedicated agent PCs |
| Pricing | Basic $25 a month (Europe); the rest by quote | License, discussed on a demo call |
Steps
A pump maker's returns desk: emails with photos and serial numbers, warranty status from a service manager's table, RMAs in Epicor Kinetic, handwritten teardown sheets, and credits over a threshold sent for review.
You have no UiPath tenant and need one agent by Friday.
The returns manager should re-show a moved step herself.
Keep UiPath where it already runs: structured, high-volume work at the parent. Put LaunchAI on the desks the automation team never reached. The robot drops the day's authorized returns into a watched folder; the LaunchAI agent handles receipt and evaluation. Neither needs a connector to the other.
Both are desktop agents taught by description or demonstration. Delegate is one component of the UiPath Platform and inherits its governance. LaunchAI carries its own rules, review, and evidence in one app.
No. They run side by side and meet at a folder, mailbox, or shared table.
Plan on a tenant. UiPath says every Delegate action runs under the platform's identity, permissions, and audit.
In LaunchAI, the returns manager re-shows the one step that moved, versioned and reversible.
No prompts. No babysitting. No Integrations.
