What Happens in Vegas Doesn’t Stay there: Highlights from UiPath Fusion 2025

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But after a few extraordinary days at UiPath Fusion 2025 at the Wynn in Las Vegas, I’m happily breaking that rule. Because what happened there deserves to be shared, not whispered. 

UiPath Fusion was a celebration of automation’s new reality: it’s no longer a niche pursuit for pioneers, but a mainstream capability transforming how organizations operate. In this recap, I’ll walk through some of the most striking announcements and ideas, from Agentic AI to Test Cloud, Maestro, and UiPath’s growing ecosystem of partnerships, and reflect on what all of this means for the future of quality assurance and innovation at TTC Global.

From possible to proven: automation has gone mainstream

Just a few years ago, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) felt like the next big thing: a promise, a potential, a pilot. That time is over. Today, automation is embedded in business DNA, powering real outcomes. As I listened to customers and partners throughout Fusion, one observation stood out: automation has become mainstream.

And just as automation once made the leap from concept to core capability, Agentic AI is now following the same path. We’re seeing a rapid evolution from AI that supports tasks to AI that can reason, act, and orchestrate. Not in isolation, but as part of a larger, dynamic system of people and processes.

Agentic AI: from buzzword to blueprint

One of the central threads throughout Fusion was Agentic AI, and what it really means. A keynote by Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, grounded the conversation in an important truth: innovation only creates value when it’s integrated into how organizations work. He spoke about the ‘J-curve of transformation, the idea that productivity often dips before it soars, as businesses retool workflows, roles, and governance for a new reality.

That point resonated deeply because it’s exactly where many companies find themselves with AI today. They’re learning that being agentic, having systems that can self-learn, adapt, and coordinate, requires more than algorithms. It takes strategy, discipline, and trust.

Craig Le Clair, Principal Analyst at Forrester, captured this evolution perfectly during his keynote: “That’s the essence of being agentic: the ability to build tools when needed, to self-learn and keep learning in real time, and to create and coordinate agents. If a system can’t do these things, don’t call it agentic — call it agent-ish.”

That line — agent-ish — drew smiles (and knowing nods) across the conference floor. It’s a reminder that success in AI isn’t about what’s promised, but what’s actually orchestrated and delivered.

Test Cloud: the future of testing in the UiPath ecosystem

Among the many announcements, Test Cloud was one of the clearest signals of where UiPath is heading, and where enterprise testing is evolving. Test Cloud is rapidly becoming the go-to future for testing in the UiPath ecosystem. Built to support hybrid environments, it allows teams to execute and scale tests directly in the cloud, bringing flexibility, visibility, and speed without the infrastructure overhead.

What stood out this year was how UiPath continues to connect Test Cloud with AI-powered features across its testing suite:

• Autonomous testing and self-healing capabilities that reduce maintenance.
• Change impact analysis, which helps teams understand what to test when systems evolve.
• AI-driven test generation and integration with Studio Web for faster automation coverage.

UiPath sees these as the building blocks of continuous quality, and they show how testing is becoming an integral part of automation, not an afterthought.

At TTC Global, we recognize this shift deeply. Our own teams are helping enterprises build similar ecosystems, blending intelligent automation with rigorous quality assurance, so innovation moves faster and safer.

Orchestration and Maestro: where the magic happens

Automation’s true value has always been in orchestration connecting systems, data, and decisions. UiPath’s Maestro took center stage at Fusion as a major leap in that direction. As Dr. Bernhard Schaffrik, Principal Analyst at Forrester, noted in his LinkedIn reflection after the event: “Besides a focus on AI capabilities, UiPath made significant strides in process orchestration. Its process orchestration engine Maestro allows orchestrating both deterministic automations and AI agents and now supports real-time insights into running processes, also in high-volume processing scenarios. This aligns well with Forrester’s Adaptive Process Orchestration (APO) research.”

In other words, this isn’t just about connecting bots: it’s about connecting intelligence. Maestro represents a move from static workflows to adaptive process orchestration, where human, robotic, and AI-driven tasks flow together dynamically.

Switzerland by design: the open ecosystem

Fusion also reinforced UiPath’s ambition to be, as UiPath CEO Daniel Dines joked, the “Switzerland of integrations.” Their strategy is centered on openness, creating an environment where organizations can connect tools, clouds, and data platforms of their choice. Partnerships with OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA, Snowflake, and especially Microsoft underscore that direction. By bringing Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry into the UiPath Platform, UiPath is allowing customers to connect Microsoft AI agents with UiPath AI agents and orchestrate them at scale. Microsoft and UiPath have traditionally been viewed as competitors, but by allowing their agents to interact, they bring extra value through interoperability. 

Openness is more than a technical decision; it’s a philosophical one. In an era when AI platforms risk becoming walled gardens, UiPath’s call for transparency and collaboration struck a chord. Customers are already making that a reality: I met people who were actively sharing the agents they had developed for their business with other organizations. Sharing is caring, even between commercial organizations…

Industry Solutions: co-created with customers

Another recurring theme was collaboration, especially in how UiPath is developing industry-specific solutions together with customers. From financial services and insurance to healthcare and manufacturing, these tailored solutions are built from real-world use cases. They reflect a maturing ecosystem where customers are co-creators, not just consumers, of innovation.

That co-creation mindset is something we champion at TTC Global as well. Real transformation happens when technology meets lived experience, when testing, automation, and quality practices evolve together.

A quote that stuck: “a fool with a tool is still a fool”

One of the most memorable lines at Fusion came from Rajat Kalia, SVP and CTO at Voya Financial: “A fool with a tool is still a fool — the tool matters, but success is everything around it. With UiPath, we found not just technology but interoperability, explainability, governance, and speed to market, all within an ecosystem of integrated tools.”

It’s a reminder that success in automation, and AI, isn’t about the tool itself, but the context in which it’s used. Governance, transparency, explainability, and speed: those are the pillars that turn experimentation into enterprise impact.

From Agent-ish to Agentic: TTC Global’s take

Everything I heard at Fusion aligns with where we at TTC Global are heading. Our mission is to help organizations embrace automation and AI without losing quality, control, or clarity. 

We’re constantly innovating in quality assurance, blending AI-driven insights with rigorous testing to ensure that systems work and evolve safely. The rise of Agentic AI will demand even greater emphasis on continuous testing, validation, and governance. That’s where TTC Global thrives: helping enterprises move confidently from Agent-ish experimentation to truly Agentic performance. And we know there always needs to be a human in the loop, in the form of an experienced test consultant.

Leaving Las Vegas this time (and actually happy to be leaving that city again), I didn’t pack only memories. I packed momentum. UiPath Fusion was a glimpse of where enterprise automation is heading: toward intelligence that acts, learns, and collaborates.
