Hey Community!
Here’s what’s new this month.
Studio
Set up your coding agents in one place
The Tools section of the start page has a new Coding Agents tab. The UiPath CLI card tells you how uip reached this machine — bundled with Studio, installed through npm, or resolved from UIPATH_CLI_PATH — and a toggle adds or removes its folder from your user PATH so agents can find it. Update channel picks which uip releases you get: Stable, Preview, or Off.
Below it, Coding agents lists a card per agent — UiPath Autopilot, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Kiro, and OpenCode. Each card reports whether that agent’s CLI was found on the machine, and once it has been, a UiPath skills toggle gives the agent what it needs to work on UiPath projects, alongside a Studio extension toggle for the agents that publish one. Detection matches what the uip CLI itself looks for, so the tab and the CLI agree.
Install the extension a file needs
Open a file type Studio doesn’t render itself and a notification now offers the extension that handles it, naming the extension and its publisher. Install takes one click, Show Recommendations opens the Extensions panel on its Recommended group, and Don’t ask again silences that extension for good. .cs suggests UiPath’s Low-Code Viewer, .flow suggests UiPath Maestro, and Markdown, PDF, spreadsheets, documents, and archives point at their own viewers.
Stash your changes without leaving Studio
The Source Control panel handles commit, push, pull, branches, and merges, but until now there was no way to set unfinished work aside — switching branches or pulling an urgent fix meant a third-party Git client or the command line. Stash Changes saves your working tree with an optional message and can include untracked files, and Manage Stashes lists what you have put away, with Apply, Pop, and Drop on each entry.
Robot
Run agents and functions on your own robots — now in Public Preview
Your self-hosted robot is now an agent executor. Upgrade to Robot 2026.0.200, set a slot count on the machine template, and the same host that has been running your unattended RPA also runs low-code agents, coded agents, Python functions, and API workflows. No enrollment required.
Why you’d want this
-
The data never leaves. Code, payloads, and credentials stay inside your perimeter — and the mainframe, the ERP, the internal database are reached from inside the network, the way your RPA robots always have. No inbound firewall exception, no reverse tunnel, no public endpoint.
-
Your existing controls already cover it. Endpoint hardening, EDR, segmentation, proxy allowlists, disk encryption, patch baseline — all inherited on day one, instead of a new control set to design and approve.
-
You choose the LLM boundary. BYO LLM keeps prompts and payloads off UiPath infrastructure entirely. With the UiPath LLM Gateway, only the model call leaves your network.
Three steps to your first local run
-
Upgrade the robot to Robot STS 2026.0.200 or later (Windows).
-
Give the machine slots. Tenant → Machines → Edit Machine → Runtime details → Agents and Functions runtimes. Both Agent slots and Function slots default to
0, so an upgrade never changes an existing estate on its own. -
Point a workload at it. Open a published process, switch its execution target from UiPath Serverless to your local machine, and start a job.
Same package, same version, no re-publish and no code change — the execution target is a deployment setting. Move a workload back to Serverless the same way.
Slots, not licenses
-
Slots set how many executions run at once on each machine. Units decide whether a run starts at all.
-
An agent slot does not consume an RPA runtime license.
-
Size for peak concurrency, not daily volume. A workload that runs 10,000 times a day but never twice at once needs one slot.
One things to know before you roll out
-
Declare a Python version in the package — a
.python-versionfile or arequires-pythonvalue. Serverless provisions an interpreter; a local robot resolves one. Pin exactly for anything you schedule. -
Decide who provisions the toolchain. By default the robot manages its own (uv, Python, deno) and a blank machine just works. For golden-image or air-gapped machines bake the toolchain into your image instead - more details on how to instruct the robot to use that coming soon.
Where it runs
Windows robots upgraded to Robot STS 2026.0.200 — will be included in the 26.10 LTS.

What it costs
Execution on your robots
During the preview : Free
After the preview : Agents — 0.2 PU per 5 min; Functions — 0.01 PU per 15 s
Licenses to buy
During the preview: None — connect any robot, unattended-licensed or not
After the preview: None — agents and functions consume units
LLM & IDP calls
During the preview: Billed as usual
After the preview: Billed as usual
The preview waives execution cost, not consumables. Bring your own LLM and there’s nothing to meter on the model side.
What’s next
-
Run Agents/Functions using the unattended license
-
JavaScript functions on local robots.
-
Add support to run agents/functions on Linux and macOS robots.
Directional — working signals, not commitments or ship dates.
Tell us what breaks
This preview exists to find the problems before GA. We especially want to hear about:
-
Slot sizing — did you guess right, and what did you have to change?
-
Anything that behaved differently from Serverless.
-
Security or network constraints the current design doesn’t accommodate.

Assistant
Expanded Browser Extension Installation Options for macOS
Starting with UiPath Assistant 2026.0.200 STS, macOS users can install and manage browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Safari using the most appropriate installation method for your environment:
- Current User
- All Users
- Group Policy Online
- Group Policy Offline
- Current User (Native Messaging Host only)
- All Users (Native Messaging Host only)
This enhancement provides greater flexibility for extension deployment and brings the macOS experience closer to Studio Desktop.
The updated interface also provides improved guidance for operations that require administrator privileges.
For more information, see the Chrome Extension on macOS and Safari Extension documentation.
