About Autopilot chat

Autopilot chat is a conversational interface designed to help you interact with UiPath products. It offers you a persistent, context-aware workspace where you can build automations, explore product features, or search documentation using natural language.

Autopilot chat maintains input history, interprets intent, and responds with relevant, task-specific suggestions. You can reference earlier inputs, adjust parameters, refine prompts, and clarify intent at any point in the workflow. You can ask Autopilot to explain a suggestion, rephrase an instruction, or modify an existing step, all from within the same interface.

Autopilot chat evolves at the same time with your automation logic, ensuring relevant recommendations as requirements change.

Here are the main capabilities of Autopilot chat:

  • Context retention—remembers previous inputs and decisions.
  • Prompt refinement—lets you edit your prompt in real-time to improve outcomes without starting from scratch.
  • Conversational experience—uses natural language to ask questions and make changes.
  • Inline suggestions—offers recommendations directly in the chat, specific to your current context.
  • Unified workspace—keeps all interactions, iterations, and results in one place.
  • Workflow continuity—maintains the flow across steps and stages.
  • Interactive debugging—helps you identify and fix issues by asking follow-up questions or claryfing intent.
  • Code and logic awarness—understands the structure of your automation or code and provides relevant guidance.

Adoption in UiPath products

Autopilot chat is a conversational framework that adjusts its capabilities based on the UiPath product you access it from. It is currently available in:
  • API workflows in Studio Web

The LLM used

Autopilot chat uses the following instantions of the Gemini large language model:
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro—recommended for building, reviewing, and debugging complex automations.
  • Gemini 2.5 Flash—recommended for fast, general-purpose tasks that do not require deep reasoning or memory.
  • Gemini 2.0 Flash—recommended for simple tasks where quick response time is most important.

You can select the LLM from the Autopilot chat main screen.

To use these LLMs, check you have the required policies in AI Trust Layer.

The AI Trust Layer policy

To use the AI capabilities provided by Autopilot chat, make sure you have an AI Trust Layer policy active and deployed to your tenant.

Disclaimer about Autopilot responses

Autopilot chat is designed to assist you across different UiPath products, and provides AI-powered support for a variety of tasks, such as building and editing automations, understanding complex workflows, or retrieving relevant information from documentation or other sources. While it can be highly effective, it may occasionally generate responses that are inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete. This is a known limitation of large language models and is sometimes referred to as "hallucination."

For example:

  • Autopilot may suggest steps that do not apply to your current workflow.
  • It may provide explanations that sound correct but are factually incorrect or based on outdated logic.
  • When working with external information, such as documentation or web search, it may overlook important details or misinterpret source content.
Always review and validate its responses, especially when dealing with production workflows, data handling, or error-prone logic:
  • Double-check suggestions before applying them, particularly in critical or high-risk workflows.
  • Use the thumbs down button in the chat interface to flag unhelpful or incorrect responses.
  • Review documentation links or search citations if provided. These often contain additional context not included in the summary.

Autopilot chat is a powerful assistant which works best as a collaborator, not a decision-maker. Your input and judgment remain essential for building safe, accurate, and effective automations.
