UiPath exhibiting at booth FP46 at Microsoft Build conference to showcase how customers can boost employee productivity by leveraging UiPath Intelligent Document Processing and other UiPath Platform features directly from Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Teams
UiPath, a leading enterprise automation and AI software company, has announced an exciting integration between the UiPath Business Automation Platform and Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. This collaboration aims to automate more knowledge work and enhance end-user experiences, with Microsoft Azure being the preferred cloud platform for UiPath, including UiPath Automation Cloud™.
UiPath Business Automation Platform and Microsoft Copilot Integration
The UiPath Business Automation Platform is designed to boost productivity, transform user experiences, and accelerate innovation through AI-powered automations. As one of the first ecosystem partners for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, UiPath enables joint customers to access enterprise-grade automation capabilities from various interfaces, including Copilot for Microsoft 365, Teams, UiPath Autopilot™, or custom copilot-like experiences. Leveraging Microsoft 365 Graph as a knowledge base, UiPath automations, and document understanding models, customers can automate comprehensive business processes.
Key Benefits and Features
Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at UiPath, highlighted the collaboration’s potential to extend automation capabilities to millions of Microsoft users. “Our end-to-end automation platform aims to accelerate human achievement, allowing knowledge workers to automate processes, developers to create richer user experiences, and businesses to foster digitally transformed workspaces with AI and automation,” he stated.
Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Teams introduces powerful new GenAI capabilities, enabling knowledge workers worldwide to enhance productivity and creativity. By integrating UiPath with Copilot, Microsoft 365 users can now discover and run UiPath automations directly from Copilot, making it easier to analyze information within Microsoft 365 Graph, gain insights, and collaborate on tasks with co-workers.
Practical Applications
Srini Raghavan, Vice President, Product, Microsoft Teams Ecosystem, emphasized the transformative potential of this integration. “The UiPath Business Automation Platform’s integration with Microsoft Copilot allows users to automate end-to-end business processes within Teams, boosting productivity and creativity,” he said.
For example, loan officers can now process loan requests directly through Teams by requesting summaries of loan applications, submitting them for approval, performing background checks, handling customer email communication, and obtaining digital signatures to finalize rates. This integration provides a pre-built automation library for common tasks and specialized automations tailored for specific functions or industries.
