The chat screen

This is the main screen of Autopilot chat, where all your interactions reside. To access the Autopilot chat chat screen, look for the Autopilot icon in your product: docs image

On the chat screen you can perform the following actions:

  • Use the chat box to interact with Autopilot by providing prompts or asking questions
  • Use the dynamic prompt suggestions, which change alongside your workflow context.
  • Select the language model Autopilot uses in your interaction. You can select from the available Gemini instantions, based on your needs.
  • Upload files for future handling and exploration.
  • Open a New chatdocs image, access the Settingsdocs imagemenu, or the Chat History.docs image

New Chat

The New Chat option in the Autopilot chat header starts a fresh conversation and saves the previous one in your chat history. Use it when you want to switch topics, so your old prompts and answers do not affect the new interaction.

Settings

The Settings options opens the Settings menu, where you can control how Autopilot chat behaves. You can personalize its responses, or connect it to Orchestrator MCP Servers.

The available settings are:

  • Show Follow Ups—On by default, so Autopilot displays follow-up questions or actions after a response to help continue the conversation. Turn it off for a cleaner interaction.
  • Custom Instructions—A free-text field where you can write specific guidance or preferences for how Autopilot should respond. For example, preferred terminology, level of technical detail, or specific frameworks/tools you use often.
  • MCP Servers—Connects Autopilot chat to external context sources managed through UiPath Orchestrator, so it can generate context-aware suggestions based on structured, task-specific information.
    Important: Only MCP servers created in Orchestrator are supported.
  • Save and Reset to Defaults options
    • Save—Applies your current settings.
    • Reset to Defaults—Reverts all settings to their original state.

Chat History

The Chat History option allows you to view and reopen past conversations with Autopilot chat from the last 30 days. It provides a searchable list of previous interactions. Select an entry to return to useful suggestions, troubleshooting steps, or workflow drafts. You can continue the conversation within that session and benefit from its existing context.
