Agentic workflows are moving automation into a new era, shifting from rigid rule-based tasks to adaptive, goal-driven processes that respond to real-world complexity. The result is a demand for orchestration platforms capable of uniting humans, robots and agents into one cohesive system that can evolve alongside business needs, according to Graham Sheldon, chief product officer of UiPath Inc. The adoption of agentic workflows is not about replacing existing systems but orchestrating them in new ways. UiPath’s Maestro platform is designed as a control plane that allows enterprises to blend robots, agents and human oversight without reinventing their entire technology stack. This approach enables businesses to deploy automation quickly while adapting to unique operational needs, Sheldon explained. A critical advantage of this orchestration model lies in its ability to surface insights and optimize processes over time. By modeling and visualizing workflows, organizations gain visibility into bottlenecks and can make iterative improvements while maintaining reliability and compliance.
