I’m currently following the course “Build your first agent with UiPath Studio Web”, but when I try to publish and run my agentic solution, I get the following error message:
“Automation cannot be started. Your tenant’s assigned Robot Units have been exceeded. Allocate more Robot Units to your tenant to continue.”
The issue is that in my Admin → Licenses → Consumables section, I only see AI Units (I have 10,000 available), but I don’t see any Robot Units listed or available to allocate.
So I’m wondering — aren’t AI Units supposed to be the same as Robot Units?
Or are they completely separate resources?
How can I enable or allocate Robot Units in my tenant so I can run the agentic solution from Studio Web?
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated
Robot units are for running any automation and AI units are for using IXP etc Agentic units are for calling llm..So all 3 are different
for now in studio web if you are debugging you have a small down arrow near debug whcih will allow you to debug on current machine that way you can run the automation…for community per day 300 robot units are assigned i guess if you exhaust them you need to wait for new units to get added
go to admin → licenses → edit allocation to see what are available
AI Units - Used for AI features like IXP, Document Understanding, Generative AI, ML models, prompts, predictions, etc.
Robot Units - Used to execute automations, including agentic solutions published from Studio Web.
Even if you have 10,000 AI Units, your automation cannot run without Robot Units.
So when you publish and run your agentic solution from Studio Web, then you will need a Serverless Robot which consumes Robot Units.
Fix:-
If you are using UiPath Community Edition then Create a new Community tenant or upgrade to Automation Cloud Trial Enterprise version
Allocate Robot Units - go to admin → licenses → open robot units → allocate serverless robot units
If you don’t see any robot units, then they are not included in your license.
AI Units and Robot Units are separate. AI Units are only for AI features and cannot be used to run jobs. Robot Units are required to execute any automation, including agentic solutions from Studio Web. In Community Edition, Robot Units may be limited or not visible, and if they are exhausted the job will not start. You need available Robot Units in the tenant to run the solution; they cannot be converted from AI Units.
The agent runs on Cloud Serverless robot which consumes Robot units. If you have already used the Robot units through Cloud Serverless then you would be getting this error. If not used, check the available units in the tenant and org level.
