Class 11
Introduction to Agentic Workflows
Description
This class will introduce the set-up for agentic workflows using UiPath's Maestro. Specifically, we will combine RPA workflows with UiPath's agents to provide a more flexible and/or powerful automation solution. The goal is to understand which parts of a workflow should be automated via RPA and which parts require the use of an agent, or LLM based Generative AI component.
Preparation
- You should have started the data validator challenge and have a partial or working RPA solution saved in your cloud projects file.
Class plan
- After a brief review, we will move to introducing agentic workflows.
- We will start by defining and discussing key terminology relating to agentic workflows, and the design choices for what parts of a workflow are best suited for RPA vs agents.
- Teams will then meet to discuss their final project ideas and how they may use a combination of RPA and agents in their final project design.
- We will undertake a short exercise to connect to a backup LLM using openrouter.ai and apply it in UiPath's API tool.
- Finally, we will work through an example case together that combines RPA and agents to complete a workflow using UiPath's Maestro.
