Maestro user guide

Autopilot™ for Maestro is an AI-powered capability that helps you design and evolve BPMN-based processes using natural language and document inputs. You can use Autopilot to accelerate initial modeling, refine existing workflows, and get contextual assistance while working on the canvas.

Autopilot™ for Maestro helps you move from intent to a working BPMN model faster, reducing the effort required to create, explore, and refine process designs.

Instead of manually building diagrams element by element, you can describe a process in natural language or provide supporting documents, and Autopilot generates an initial BPMN model for you. As the model is created, elements are streamed to the canvas incrementally, allowing you to review structure and intent as it takes shape and adjust early if needed.

Autopilot also supports you while refining a process. You can ask contextual questions about BPMN concepts, UiPath capabilities, or your current workflow, and use the responses to guide modeling decisions. When working with logic, Autopilot can assist with writing C# and JavaScript expressions, including expressions used in Script tasks.

All interactions happen in a single Autopilot panel that preserves conversation history, making it easier to iterate without restating context.

After you understand how Autopilot fits into your modeling workflow, you can use it in the following scenarios:

To get started with Autopilot™ for Maestro, while in the modeling canvas, select the Autopilot icon under the left toolbar of the canvas. You can also find the Autopilot icon on the right toolbar. This opens the Autopilot chat window, where you get to choose from three default templates for common horizontal processes: Purchase to Pay, Order to Cash, and Invoice Processing. These templates help you get started with Autopilot, and understand how to begin prompting.

Model diff view

When Autopilot™ suggests changes, the canvas will enter a diff view to compare the original model with the suggested model. The diff view includes the following components:

When Autopilot generates a BPMN model, elements are streamed to the canvas incrementally. This allows you to observe how the workflow is constructed node by node, instead of receiving a fully rendered diagram all at once.

Incremental generation helps you:

Autopilot™ for Maestro can convert supported document and image files into BPMN diagrams. To do this, attach a file to the Autopilot prompt. Autopilot generates a BPMN model on the canvas, which you can then accept or reject.

The supported file types are: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, .pdf, .docx, .doc, .vsdx, .vdx, .xlsx, and .xls. The maximum allowed size is 10 MB.

Autopilot for Maestro helps you write expressions by leveraging existing variables. Access this feature from the expression editor. Autopilot-generated expressions can be used in standard expression fields as well as in Script tasks. Autopilot supports generating both C# and JavaScript expressions, depending on the task context.

Expressions Diff view

The Autopilot panel provides a single, unified workspace for prompts, suggestions, and responses. It retains conversational context across interactions, making it easier to iteratively refine a model without restating previous instructions.

Autopilot for Maestro supports chat history, limited to 10 responses or until the token limit is exceeded, whichever comes first. Autopilot uses any previous chats within the limit as context for future responses.

Autopilot for Maestro currently only supports English.

Autopilot™ for Maestro can perform general Q&A about topics such as UiPath, RPA, BPMN, and the current model. Some examples of questions you can ask are:
