Using prebuilt agents
You can start your agentic journey with a set of prebuilt agents, available on the Agents home page and in UiPath® Marketplace.
A prebuilt agent comes preconfigured for specific tasks. It requires a minimum configuration to be executable in Studio, and you can modify it and tailor it to your specific needs. A prebuilt agent has:
- Predefined components - System
prompts, activity tools with descriptions, starter evaluation sets.
- Components are generic, not company or organization-specific.
- Components are readily available in the agent when you access the Design tab in the Agents workspace. Some components (such as activities as tools) may need additional configuration, like creating the necessary connections in Integration Service.
- Components that require additional
configuration - Context Grounding indexes, automations and processes as
tools, custom escalations, and all affiliated descriptions (instructions for the
agent).
- These components are organization and tenant-specific.
- Components are also available in the UiPath Marketplace, packaged in prebuilt agents.
To use a prebuilt agent from the UiPath Marketplace or an imported agent, you must first upload a set of necessary assets to your organization. These consist of processes, escalations, indexes, and connections.
When you import an agent from the Agents home page, go to UiPath Marketplace and search for the same agent in the catalog to download the necessary assets.
A UiPath Marketplace agent listing can contain the following components:
- The agent definition for importing the agent to the Agents workspace. You can also import prebuilt agents directly from the Agents home page.
- Example documents for creating Context Grounding indexes for each prebuilt agent that uses Context Grounding. For details on creating an index, see the Context Grounding – Best practices section in the Automation Cloud admin guide.
- A Solutions Management Assets package for deploying automations and custom escalations.
- UiPath Studio and UiPath Apps components to customize what is contained in the Solution Management Assets.
To deploy an agent from the UiPath Marketplace, take the following steps:
- In UiPath Marketplace, choose
an agent from the Agent Catalog and select Download & Open.
The Downloading and Deploying an Agent window is displayed, with instructions on how to proceed next and a download link.
- Select Download Solutions
Management Assets to retrieve the necessary package.
A
.zipfile will be downloaded to your machine. - Next, go to Solutions Management. You can access it through Automation Ops or directly in Orchestrator. For details, refer to Accessing the Solutions Management UI in the Solutions Management user guide.
- Upload the Solutions Management Assets package, as explained in Transporting a solution package.
- After configuring the Solutions Management Assets, go back to the Downloading and Deploying an Agent window and select Open in Agent Builder to get started with the prebuilt agent.
