UiPath Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intelligent Document Processing

For the second year in a row, UiPath has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intelligent Document Processing (IDP).

Beyond extraction: IDP in the BOAT era

It’s easy to think of IDP as only a document problem, but the document is just the trigger. The real cost sits in what happens next: the loan that stalls until someone reads a brokerage statement, the claim that waits on a scanned form to be processed, the invoice that sits in an exception queue until someone keys it in by hand.

Turn a document into usable data and you’ve solved a step; orchestrate the process around it and you’ve solved the business outcome. That’s the role IDP plays in business orchestration and automation technologies (BOAT), the category that runs entire processes end to end. IDP is the intelligence layer feeding those workflows and agents the accurate, structured data they need to act.

UiPath IXP

UiPath IXP (Intelligent Xtraction & Processing) is used by some of the largest and most regulated enterprises in the world. IXP unlocks documents and communications of any complexity, turning them into automation-ready data for agentic workflows, at speed and scale.

IXP brings together our document understanding, communications mining, and generative extraction for unstructured and complex documents capabilities, plus human-in-the-loop validation to catch exceptions. Together, they don’t just extract from a document; they connect that data into the workflows and agents that act on it.

In the demo above, see IXP in action with UiPath Maestro™ and Agents, bringing speed and consistency to your credit approvals.

Enterprises are using IXP to automate document-driven processes end to end, from intake to decision to action. With it, they can increase efficiency by automating these complex processes from start to finish, transform the customer experience through faster responses and greater personalization, and scale best-in-class AI safely, responsibly, and with control.

AI agents can only reason and act as well as the data they're given, which is why IXP is the secure document and communications layer of the UiPath Platform™, feeding agents the accurate, structured data they need to scale agentic automation across the entire process.

To us, being named a Leader for the second year running confirms what our customers are already proving: intelligent document processing isn’t just about extracting data anymore. It’s about powering the entire process that data feeds into. UiPath IXP is moving beyond extraction, and beyond single documents, to run whole processes end to end.”

George Barnett, Senior Product Director, UiPath

Being recognized by Gartner two years running is a milestone we don’t take lightly. But the bigger story is what it means for our customers: intelligent document processing that powers the entire process it feeds; from intake to decision to action.
