As a software engineer with 8 years in the industry, I approve this message. I've spent the last few weeks digging into UiPath to see what all the hype is about. Here's my honest take: their older automation products have real limitations. A lot of companies are still using these legacy systems not because they're great, but because migrating away would be expensive and messy, classic technical debt situation. But their new agentic AI platform? That's a different story. It actually solves a lot of these problems. When I first heard about it, my immediate reaction as a dev was: "Why do I need UiPath to build an agent? i can just build an agent on my own? Fair question. And honestly, you *could*. But here's the thing UiPath has spent years building out all the boring infrastructure stuff. They've got pre-built connectors for everything: email systems, Google Drive, SAP, Salesforce, you name it. Plus intelligent document processing, API integrations, and orchestration tools that actually work at enterprise scale. oh also their new product is drag and drop kind of thing, companies dont need to hire devs to build products. can hire a technical business analysts to do it. which is HUGE. If I wanted to build a custom agent using Microsoft's framework, I'd need to build all of those integrations myself. We're talking weeks or months of development time just to get to the starting line. With UiPath, that entire foundation is already there. I can focus on solving the actual business problem instead of reinventing the wheel. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft's Agent Framework is solid, especially if you're already deep in their ecosystem. But for enterprise automation where you need to connect to dozens of different systems? UiPath's head start matters. A lot.
