Hello UiPath Community! :waving_hand:

We’re thrilled to announce that UiPath Conversational Agents are now available in Public Preview for all users in Community and Enterprise environments! :tada:

What are Conversational Agents in Agent Builder? :robot: It’s a new way to build and interact with UiPath agents through natural, multi-turn dialogue. Think of them as intelligent digital assistants that can understand context, ask clarifying questions, complete tasks, and provide support through real-time conversations.

:white_check_mark: Build true digital assistants: Create self-service agents for customer or employee support, guide users interactively through complex processes, and provide a natural language interface for your applications.

:books: Ground your agents in your company’s knowledge: Connect your agent to your own documents, like HR policies or product manuals, enabling it to answer questions with precision and accuracy.

:high_voltage: Empower agents to take action: Go beyond chat and empower your agent to perform actions by connecting it to Automations, API workflows, Activities, and Autonomous Agents.

:laptop: Enjoy a rich design-time experience: Build, test, and refine your conversational agents with a robust and integrated development lifecycle in Studio Web.

How can you get started? :backhand_index_pointing_right: Explore the detailed UiPath Conversational Agents Public Preview Insider Portal page, which includes getting started guides, demos, and FAQs. You can also visit the Conversational Agents documentation.

:thinking: Conversational Agents vs. Autopilot for Everyone:
Wondering how Conversational Agents differ from Autopilot for Everyone? The key is to think of Autopilot for Everyone as your general-purpose agent for productivity and platform tasks, while Conversational Agents are specialists you build for focused business use cases, like an HR policy assistant. The two experiences are designed to work side-by-side, and you will be able to access your specialized agents from within the 25.8 release of Autopilot for Everyone. For a more detailed comparison, please see the full guide on our Insider Portal page.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, please reach out here in the forums or via the Insider Portal. Our product and engineering team will get back to you as soon as possible. :speech_balloon:

We can’t wait for you to try the new UiPath Conversational Agents, and we look forward to your feedback!

Thank you! :folded_hands:

Good day, All. We are now looking at Conversational Agents in our org and we would love to learn about your use cases.

For our use case, we would like to integrate our conversational “HR Policy” agent with Microsoft Teams as opposed to interacting with it via UiPath Agents “Instances.” If anyone can offer any suggestions, please let us know.

Looking forward to any replies!

Thank you Catalina_lanus. I have also posted a similar question in this thread and have replied to it 🚀 Take your agentic automation skills to the next level with our new program - #5 by TFG
…
All, I wanted to update this thread with what worked for us…

  1. With the suggestion from Logesh_Velu, we looked into the Autopilot App in Teams which we were already using here at our organization.
  2. We started with opening a new chat with UiPath Autopilot in teams

  1. Then we entered the suggested prompt “switch agent” and were presented with a list of conversational agents we have deployed in the connected tenant. We are able to then select which agent we want to interact with and click the Submit button.

  1. You will see a message that you have switched agents:

Note: We did not explicitly tag anything with Autopilot

Currently we are working to embed UiPath conversational agents within various applications across our organization. There is a lot to be excited about!

Thank you, @TFG, you’re awesome! :rocket:

We work on improving the UX so any insight would be helpful!

You don’t need to tag them with Autopilot - Conversational Agents are included without being labeled as Autopilot :hugs:
