# UiPath is no longer RPA. It has become the Switzerland of AI agents. > In 2 weeks, UiPath made 4 moves that are changing automation: Databricks, the Pentagon, on-prem AI and coding agents. An analysis for the Polish CIO. - Source: https://snok.ai/en/news/blog/uipath-maestro-ai-agents-cio-moves/ - Author: Jacek Bugajski - Published: 2026-05-11 --- Within 14 days – between 27 April and 6 May 2026 – [UiPath](https://snok.ai/en/offer/ai-automation/) 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. *Source: UiPath + Databricks Newsroom, 27 April 2026* --- ## 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. *Source: DoD AI Strategy update, 1 May 2026* --- ## 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](https://snok.ai/en/offer/ai-automation/llm-on-premise/). 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](https://snok.ai/en/offer/ai-automation/uipath-maestro/) in an on-prem model. The window is open. The question is when the first tenders will reflect it. *Source: UiPath FUSION DC, 5 May 2026* --- ## 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. *SNOK reference · production project 2026* --- ## 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](https://snok.ai/en/offer/sap-security/nis2-dora-audit/). 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](https://snok.ai/en/uipath-snok/) 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](https://snok.ai/en/offer/sap-security/) and regulatory compliance. We combine SAP Basis, S/4HANA, BTP and automation – because it is one stack, not four separate projects.
