– The integration enables automation of end-to-end processes through interactions between UiPath agents and Azure AI Foundry agents and models.
– A healthcare example demonstrates how this system can analyze medical imaging results, flag issues, and route comprehensive reports to physicians for timely follow-up care.
– UiPath is featured in Microsoft Marketplace’s new AI Apps and Agents category, allowing enterprises to scale agentic automation across industries like healthcare and finance.
– UiPath and Microsoft executives emphasized that this collaboration helps customers move from isolated automation to agentic transformation with governance and measurable business impact.
UiPath, a prominent name in agentic automation, has announced a significant integration with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry into its core platform. This strategic move is designed to emp ower businesses by enabling the orchestration of vital workflows with robust, enterprise-level governance. The collaboration allows for seamless automation of complete processes through the interaction of UiPath agents with those from Azure AI Foundry, leveraging advanced models to drive efficiency and reliability.
A key feature of this integration is the use of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which enhances existing bidirectional connections with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot Studio. This setup enables UiPath Maestro to deploy and scale fully orchestrated workflows across both Microsoft and UiPath agents. Process owners and analysts gain the trust, transparency, and governance necessary to implement AI agents effectively within real-world enterprise environments, accelerating the realization of tangible business benefits.
One compelling application of this combined AI automation and orchestration is in the healthcare sector, specifically in medical imaging. An agent-led process can identify and communicate incidental findings in imaging studies, findings that are sometimes overlooked, potentially leading to delayed treatment or increased costs. By integrating UiPath AI agents, Azure AI Foundry agents, and orchestration via UiPath Maestro, the system can compare past and current imaging results, flag discrepancies, and compile them into a comprehensive follow-up report. This entire workflow is then directed to a physician or specialist for review, facilitating prompt and appropriate patient care.
UiPath is also featured as a launch partner in the new AI Apps and Agents category on the Microsoft Marketplace. Unifying Microsoft Cloud, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot, and the UiPath platform allows enterprises to scale agentic automation across various industries, from healthcare to financial services. This integration helps move AI out of isolated silos and into enterprise-ready processes that deliver consistent value.
Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at UiPath, emphasized that enterprises require AI to operate within their most critical processes. By incorporating Azure AI Foundry into the UiPath Platform, customers can connect Microsoft AI agents with UiPath AI agents and orchestrate them at scale. The outcome is agentic automation that provides the governance, trust, and enterprise execution needed to turn AI potential into measurable business impact.
Sandy Gupta, Vice President of the Global ISV ecosystem at Microsoft, noted that UiPath, as a preferred enterprise agentic automation platform for Microsoft, is already showcasing how Microsoft Cloud and AI can drive enterprise transformation. Microsoft looks forward to ongoing collaboration to help customers progress from isolated automation efforts to comprehensive agentic transformation.
