Cartographer Automates Workflow Discovery

The UiPath Platform now includes Cartographer, a tool that addresses one of the most time-consuming aspects of automation projects. According to CEO Daniel Dines, traditional process mapping can take weeks as companies must document not only standard procedures but also how employees handle exceptions and errors1

UiPath Coding Agents, announced in May 2026, reached general availability on the UiPath Platform. These AI agents enable teams to discover, build, and optimize automations using natural-language requests against live sessions. Enterprises can use UiPath Coding Agents alongside Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity, with no manual API lookups required2

Enhanced Integration Service and Data Fabric

The Integration Service received four new capabilities to strengthen data integration. Database Hub enables reads and writes to SQL Server, Oracle, and Databricks without custom code. Relay connects cloud automations to on-premises systems, while Third-Party Credential Store lets customers use existing enterprise credential stores instead of duplicating credentials2
