Within 14 days – between 27 April and 6 May 2026 – UiPath made 4 strategic moves that are changing the answer to the question: what is enterprise automation?
These were not system updates. Nor roadmap announcements. They were product decisions that are already shaping what an automation project looks like for a Polish CIO in Q2 2026.
4 moves. 2 weeks.
| Date | Move | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| 27.04 | Databricks – verified partner | Enterprise data (lakehouse) flows directly into Maestro – no copying, no ETL |
| 01.05 | Pentagon announces a multi-vendor LLM architecture | Model-independent orchestration becomes a requirement, not an option |
| 05.05 | Automation Suite reaches on-prem GA with AI agents | The public sector can procure agentic automation without the cloud |
| 06.05 | Coding agents gain access to the full stack | Automation project deployment time down by 50% |
Move 1: Databricks thinks. Maestro executes.
On 27 April, UiPath announced a partnership with Databricks as a verified intelligence provider. The practical effect: enterprise data stored in a Databricks lakehouse flows directly into UiPath Maestro – no copying, no ETL processes, no additional integration layer.
Significance for companies that already have Databricks and are thinking about agentic automation: the architecture is ready. Data and business context do not need to be replicated into a separate AI system.

Move 2: The Pentagon is reading the same thesis UiPath has been selling for a year.
On 1 May, the US Department of Defense announced an AI architecture built on the deliberate avoidance of dependence on a single LLM provider. Model-independent orchestration – OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, local models – is a structural requirement, not a preference.
UiPath Maestro sells exactly this layer: an orchestration layer that works with every model.
For Polish CIOs in regulated sectors (banking, critical infrastructure, public administration): this is not a curiosity from Washington. It is an architectural benchmark that will show up in the next AI strategy RFP.

Move 3: The public sector – AI agents without the cloud.
On 5 May, at the FUSION Public Sector conference in Washington, UiPath announced general availability of Automation Suite with AI agents in an on-premises variant. Local LLM. Maestro orchestration. Certifications: ISO 42001, FedRAMP, AIUC-1.
What does this change in Polish public procurement (PZP)?
For years, tender specifications contained a blocking clause: “AI exclusively in the cloud of a foreign entity” – which in practice eliminated local deployments. That block is no longer technically justified. KPRM, ZUS, NFZ, KAS, MZ, URPL can now formally procure agentic automation in an on-prem model.
The window is open. The question is when the first tenders will reflect it.

Move 4: Agents that build agents.
On 6 May, UiPath released coding agents with full access to the entire toolchain. This is not about assistants suggesting a snippet of code – it is about agents that design, code and deploy new agents.
Business implication measured by Phathom Research:
“The bottleneck stops being ‘how many developers do we have’ and becomes ‘how many processes do we have to automate.’”
– Phathom Research, 6 May 2026
Automation project deployment time: down 50%.
Translated into budget terms: a project that six months ago required 3 developers for 3 months now ships with half the resources. Or, with the same resources, delivers twice as much.
Maestro in Polish business. Already today.
SNOK has launched a production agentic automation project with UiPath Maestro at Impel – one of the largest service groups in Poland.
This is not a plan, nor a proof of concept. The UiPath orchestration layer replaces classic RPA with a multi-model AI-agent workflow. Maestro coordinates decisions, handles Human-in-the-Loop wherever the business requires it, and scales without rewriting process logic.

Three moves for the Polish CIO in Q2
Based on these 4 UiPath moves and our implementation experience – here is what makes sense to do now:
01 – Automation audit (2–3 weeks) Where classic RPA ends and AI agents begin. Which processes gain from orchestration over an LLM, and which are already over-automated. Output: a priority map, not a wish list.
02 – Maestro readiness assessment (in parallel) Data architecture, integrations (SAP, ERP, industry systems), governance, compliance with AI Act and NIS2. Where you stand today and what is missing before a pilot.
03 – Agentic pilot in 90 days One process, end to end. Measurable indicators: handling time, number of human interventions, unit cost. A continuation decision before Q4 2026 – based on data, not a slide deck.
Why a conversation with SNOK makes sense
We are a UiPath Platinum Partner with Agentic Fast Track certification. We built our product position before agentic AI became a conference topic – we have real access to UiPath’s roadmap, pre-release versions, and dedicated engineering support.
Agentic AI in a Polish company will not work in isolation from ERP, cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. We combine SAP Basis, S/4HANA, BTP and automation – because it is one stack, not four separate projects.
Certifications: ISO 27001:2023 · ISO 9001:2015 · UiPath Platinum · Agentic Fast Track Partner.
