Agents release notes
April 30, 2026
Clone a low-code agent as a coded agent (public preview)
You can now clone an existing low-code agent as a coded agent directly from Studio Web. Cloning generates a Python project — including source code representing the agent's prompts, tools, and schemas, with all required dependencies — that you can continue developing in your IDE while retaining access to all UiPath platform capabilities. The original low-code agent is not affected.
For details, see Clone a low-code agent as a coded agent.

Conversational agents updates
This release expands deployment options for conversational agents and brings Teams and Slack to general availability.
New deployment channels
- Dedicated Microsoft Teams App — You can create a dedicated Teams app for a conversational agent. Unlike the standard shared-channel integration, a dedicated app maintains persistent conversation context, supports concurrent conversations, and removes the requirement to @mention the bot. For setup instructions, refer to Dedicated Microsoft Teams App.
- TypeScript SDK — The UiPath TypeScript SDK is available as a deployment channel, enabling developers to embed conversational agents directly into custom front-end applications. For supported features and setup, refer to TypeScript SDK.
General availability: Teams and Slack channels
The Microsoft Teams and Slack channels are now generally available.
Feature updates
- File uploads are supported in Teams and Slack.
- Citations are available when agents are embedded in UiPath Apps. Note: the citation viewer does not render when the agent is embedded in an iFrame.
- The "Delete chat session" option has been removed from Teams. To start a new conversation, use the New chat prompt instead.
For a full channel comparison, refer to Deploying conversational agents.
