🚀 UiPath Web Access for GenAI-Based Automation: Search, Retrieve, and Process Web Data with Ease

Hi UiPath Community! :wave:

Accessing content from the internet has always been tricky in automation solutions. The traditional methods—UI automation or third-party scraping tools—were an extra effort. But with the latest version of the UiPath Generative AI Activity Pack, we now have a seamless way to integrate web access into automation and agentic workflows!

Why Web Access Matters in Automation

Many automation workflows need to access real-time web data to make informed decisions, generate responses, or analyze trends. Previously, this required workarounds that were often inefficient. With UiPath’s new web access activities, GenAI-driven automation solutions can now search, retrieve, and summarize web content natively—eliminating the need for complex scraping or manual intervention.


New Web Access Activities in UiPath GenAI Pack

:heavy_check_mark: Web Search: Queries the internet and returns structured search results, just like Google or Bing.
:heavy_check_mark: Web Reader: Extracts text from any webpage by providing a URL.
:heavy_check_mark: Web Summary: Performs a search query, retrieves content, and provides a structured summary along with citations.

These activities effectively act as mini AI agents, making automation workflows smarter, more efficient, and capable of real-time information retrieval.
