Where to build
Where to build Maestro Automate workflows: VS Code with a coding agent, Studio Web in your browser, or Studio Desktop next to your RPA projects.
You can build a Maestro Automate workflow in three places. All three use the same Flow canvas, so a workflow looks and behaves the same way in each, and you can open it in another one later.
Which one fits you
| Your situation | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You want a coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, to build workflows for you, or you keep workflows as files in a code repository | Visual Studio Code (VS Code), or an editor based on it, such as Cursor, Google Antigravity, or Kiro | Your coding agent writes the workflow file, and you see and change it on the canvas. Autopilot (Preview) is available too, through the UiPath Autopilot extension |
| You want to start right away, with nothing to install | Studio Web | Runs in your browser, with Autopilot (Preview) to build workflows from a description |
| You already build RPA projects in Studio Desktop | Studio Desktop | Workflows and RPA projects are built in the same application, a workflow can call your RPA projects, and Autopilot (Preview) is available |
Compare them
| Where it runs | What to install | |
|---|---|---|
| VS Code | On your computer, or on a remote host such as Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), SSH, Codespaces, or a dev container | The UiPath Maestro extension, and Node.js with npm for the UiPath CLI |
| Studio Web | In your browser | Nothing |
| Studio Desktop | On your computer | UiPath Studio Desktop |
A project lives in a solution, a container that groups related projects. One solution can hold several projects, such as a workflow and the agents it calls.
Get started
- Build in VS Code: install the extension, sign in, and create a project.
- Build in Studio Web: open Studio Web and create a project.
- Build in Studio Desktop: create a project next to your RPA projects.
Next steps
- Set up your coding agent: let a coding agent build workflows for you.
- Your first workflow: build and test a complete workflow in about 15 minutes.
- Community: ask questions and share workflows with other builders on the UiPath Forum.
