UiPath launches Maestro Flow for coding agent workflows

UiPath has launched UiPath Maestro Flow, aimed at developers building business processes with coding agents.

The orchestration canvas lets builders use supported coding agents to design, run, observe and govern end-to-end processes as a single artefact, from prototype through production.

UiPath is targeting teams already using coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Codex in development environments including VS Code and UiPath Studio. The goal is to let developers keep a code-first workflow while linking agents, robots, application programming interfaces, documents and human workers in a single process flow.

The launch addresses a broader issue for companies that have adopted AI coding tools for software development but struggled to move experimental agent-based work into production business processes. UiPath argues that without orchestration, process logic becomes fragmented and harder to govern, while review cycles and maintenance costs can slow deployment.

Production use

Maestro Flow runs on the same Maestro orchestration engine already used across the UiPath platform. That means the version created during prototyping can move into production without being rebuilt or shifted to a different platform.

The product is designed to give enterprises more visibility into how automated work runs across systems. Teams can observe and govern process execution while keeping development inside the tools they already use.

That positions Maestro Flow in the middle of a growing market for software that helps companies manage the operational side of AI deployment, rather than simply generate code or create standalone agents. As businesses expand their use of AI tools, questions around oversight, auditability and hand-offs between systems and people have become more prominent.

Raghu Malpani, Chief Product and Technology Officer at UiPath, framed the launch around that challenge.

"Enterprises don't have an agent problem; they have an orchestration problem. With coding agents, it's never been easier to build an agent. But running a real business process, spanning agents, robots, systems, and people - and being able to prove what happened at every step - needs an orchestration layer that ties these together in a real business environment. Maestro Flow is that missing layer, and it runs on the durable, governed orchestration foundation in the UiPath Platform that our customers already trust," said Raghu Malpani, Chief Product and Technology Officer at UiPath.

Lite version

Alongside Maestro Flow, UiPath is also offering UiPath Maestro Lite, a lighter option for processes that do not require extensive management. The aim is to match operational oversight with the cost and criticality of the work involved.

UiPath has built its business around automation software that connects business systems and reduces manual work, and the new product extends that approach to coding agents. Rather than asking developers to rewrite prototypes in another orchestration framework, the company is presenting Maestro Flow as a way to keep development and operational control in the same environment.

The move highlights how software suppliers are repositioning automation platforms around AI workflows as customers look for ways to manage more complex interactions between models, software tools and employees. In that context, orchestration is becoming a competitive layer, especially for vendors with existing enterprise automation customers and installed infrastructure.

For UiPath, the launch also reflects an effort to appeal more directly to developers, a group that has often favoured native coding tools over business process software. By supporting widely used coding agents and embedding work in familiar development environments, the company is seeking a closer role in how AI-based software is built and operated inside large organisations.

UiPath said developers can start using Maestro Flow now, while Maestro Lite is intended for less demanding process scenarios.
