Introducing UiPath Data Fabric: fueling AI agents with unified enterprise data

Your AI agents are only as smart as the data they can reach.

UiPath Data Fabric, now available in public preview, connects AI agents to the real-time data they need from all over the enterprise with no duplication or delays.

The missing link between AI and action

In today's enterprise landscape, automation is no longer just about streamlining repetitive tasks. It's about enabling smarter decisions, accelerating innovation, and delivering seamless experiences. But it all hinges on one thing: data.

Data is the fuel for automations and AI agents. And yet, across most organizations, data remains fragmented, duplicated, or locked away in siloed systems and custom applications. That's where UiPath Data Fabric comes in.

Formerly known as Data Service, UiPath Data Fabric marks a strategic evolution—a unified data layer purpose-built for connecting data for agentic automation. It empowers organizations to model, manage, and orchestrate both UiPath-generated and external data, without copying or migrating anything.

Why Data Fabric? Why now?

As agentic automation becomes the new operating model for enterprises, the need for real-time, context-rich data has never been more urgent. AI agents are transforming how work gets done—autonomously making decisions, executing tasks, and collaborating across systems. But to function effectively, these agents require immediate access to accurate, connected data from across the business. And that’s where things can get sticky. An example might help to illustrate why.

Let’s say you’re deploying an AI agent to assign your salespeople to new accounts. Seems simple—until you realize that data about each seller is scattered across half a dozen systems.

Their tenure, start date, and location live in an HR platform like Workday. Their account assignments are tracked in Salesforce. Their product expertise and training history? Stored elsewhere entirely. Worse yet, each system may use a different identifier for the same person.

For an AI agent to access or update these records, it has to navigate a web of siloed data, mismatched schemas, and integration bottlenecks.

In the past, you’d be forced to copy and migrate data into a centralized repository, build and maintain complex pipelines, and wrestle with fragile schemas that break under pressure (especially in high-volume, real-time scenarios).

Now, UiPath Data Fabric changes everything. It connects disparate systems in real time—no duplication, no migrations—creating a unified, contextual profile of each seller.

Your AI agent can instantly understand a seller’s workload, experience, and training across systems, and make smart, dynamic decisions (like assigning the right rep to the right account, automatically). Need to adjust for seller vacations, certifications, or changing territory rules? Rule-based automations can tap the same real-time info from Data Fabric to keep operations flowing smoothly.

And it's not just for sellers. With Data Fabric, you can build unified profiles for products, accounts, or any critical entity, unlocking the full power of AI and automation across your enterprise.

Zero-copy delivers mega-impact

Data Fabric is the foundational layer that powers agentic automation at scale—delivering zero-copy, real-time integration with both UiPath-generated and external enterprise data. A zero-copy approach addresses two fundamental challenges with handling data:

• Eliminates the need for data migrations, cutting down the time and complexity of accessing data

• Ensures access to real-time data, mitigating the risks of using stale or outdated data

By eliminating the delays and duplication of traditional ETL pipelines, Data Fabric ensures that every agent and automation runs with the most current, trusted business context—from SAP® and Salesforce to Snowflake and many more systems. Soon, we plan to connect with databases as well.

Paired with UiPath Maestro™, which orchestrates agents and automation flows, Data Fabric transforms disconnected data into a live, unified resource that fuels faster decisions, end-to-end automation, and smarter outcomes without the heavy lift of custom integrations. It’s not just about accessing data faster; it’s about making automations more intelligent, scalable, and aligned with how modern enterprises operate.

Define entity relationships visually with interactive data modeling—no code needed

What makes UiPath Data Fabric different?

Data Fabric is integrated with UiPath Autopilot™ so you can simply describe the data you need—what systems and relationships—and it automatically builds the schema and unified data model. In minutes, your data is ready to use across the UiPath Platform™, from UiPath Apps to Maestro to AI agents. This means less effort organizing data, and more time acting on it (and doing it all securely and at scale). Unlike traditional integration tools, with UiPath Data Fabric, you can:

Break down silos and unify data

Create a unified, connected data model that brings together UiPath-generated data and enterprise data across your organization. Unified enterprise data enables faster, improved decision making and accelerates your digital transformation.

Streamline data modeling with built-in tools

Design and deploy structured data layers faster with intuitive support for entity relationship diagrams (ERDs), UiPath Autopilot–generated models, and out-of-the-box templates tailored to industry use cases. Data Fabric also enables you to standardize data definitions across agents, apps, and automations to structure data and maintain consistency across your organization.

Achieve faster time to value

Rapidly scale automation across departments with a centralized data layer while leveraging the power of UiPath Maestro to coordinate agent tasks. With Data Fabric, you can reuse data models to reduce duplication of effort, accelerate deployment of new use cases, and ensure consistent data governance across the organization.

Enhance security and control

With Data Fabric's built-in role-based access control (RBAC), easily govern who can view and modify data at the entity, field, or even row level.

Bring in external data with a simple click-to-connect setup

Seamless integration. Unified orchestration.

UiPath Data Fabric integrates with the rest of the UiPath Platform. And your automations, agents, and apps can consume data as if it's managed locally, even when it resides in external systems.

• Define and reuse your data structures across multiple workflows

• Model complex business data using rich field types (text, date, number, choice sets, relationships)

• Enforce policies with RBAC

• Orchestrate enterprise-wide processes with confidence and agility

A foundation for agentic automation

As agentic automation emerges—and autonomous AI agents step up to perform tasks, make decisions, and adapt dynamically—real-time, trustworthy data becomes a prerequisite. UiPath Data Fabric provides the unified foundation these agents need to act independently across systems. It ensures your agents and workflows operate on real-time insights, pulling from the most relevant systems, without any manual intervention.

UiPath Data Fabric is a strategic shift for enterprises looking to modernize how they use and manage data in automation. So, if your automation strategy is hitting a wall because your data is stuck in disconnected systems, it’s time to rethink your approach.

With Data Fabric, you’re not just automating workflows. You’re orchestrating your entire business on top of a unified, intelligent data layer.

UiPath Data Fabric is currently in public preview and available for you to explore and try today (with general availability coming soon).
