Altilia vs UiPath (2026)

Pre-built connectors and an API-first architecture let AI assistants and robots be embedded across the customer's tech stack, from legacy systems to modern cloud applications, and agents take action on data. No individual connector, integration catalog or connector count is named for any application class. The platform is distributed through the Microsoft commercial marketplace. Documents and data are ingested from any source or format, including PDFs, emails, handwritten notes, scanned images and legacy databases.

Tools connect an agent's reasoning to real actions, giving it access to data in business applications and the ability to execute functions, and an agent can only act through tools it has been explicitly granted, described in the system prompt with when to use them. Integration Service adds an MCP Connector that lets workflows call tools from any compatible MCP server as a native activity, Database Hub to read and write systems such as SQL Server, Oracle and Databricks without custom code, and Relay to reach on premises systems from cloud automations.

Agent workflows are designed with visual scripting, automating and sequencing actions and connecting data sources with fine-tuned models, chains and processing functions, alongside skills, which are process orchestration tasks built in the low-code interface.

The platform provides governable agentic orchestration and ontology-driven workflows that coordinate agents across departments, with agents shipping as assistants or autonomous robots within the same workflow model. Independent analysts describe the agents-and-skills combination as providing robotic process automation capabilities. No branching, looping, conditional or parallel control-flow construct is named, and no failure or retry behavior is described.

Agents are triggered by document and data ingestion, with the platform ingesting and structuring data from any source or format, including legacy databases, emails, scanned images and forms, and an API-first architecture lets agents embedded in customer applications be invoked programmatically. No scheduled, cron or recurrence capability, inbound webhook or external event subscription is named, and no chat, email, messaging or embedded conversational channel reaches an agent beyond the in-platform Insights assistant.

The Knowledge Graph is the platform's core component, aggregating and organizing all company information and unifying structured, unstructured and physical document sources into a single coherent database. A hybrid neuro-symbolic architecture combines large and small language models with the graph and is described as GraphRAG with traversal reasoning.

Ingestion covers any source or format, including long complex documents, standardized forms, scanned images, handwritten notes, emails and legacy databases, transformed into semantic objects. Users interrogate the knowledge base in natural language and receive fact-based answers with source attribution, and RAG techniques retrieve and fine-tune LLMs and SLMs against enterprise knowledge. Accuracy above ninety-five percent on domain-specific tasks is vendor-reported.

An index added as agent context gives the agent access to a permissioned knowledge base of the customer's own content, and the builder configures the search strategy and scope that decide what the agent retrieves.

There is no memory store, session state or cross-run context. Continuous learning from human feedback, which Altilia describes as building training datasets, feeds the training loop.

Agent memory, in preview, keeps memory spaces that several agents can share. Episodic memory holds the inputs, outputs and outcomes of past cases with the feedback attached to them, and items enter it when a person promotes feedback from an agent run. Escalation memory stores how a person resolved an escalation in Action Center.

Before each run a recall step embeds the current inputs, finds similar items and adds them to the agent's context as examples, and before raising an escalation the agent checks for a matching resolution. Memory items can be inspected, edited and deleted from the Memory spaces tab. Nothing is written to memory by the agent on its own, and no retention period or expiry is stated.

In a review and validation stage, people review and validate data classifications, extractions and AI-generated answers, and the feedback of human experts is integrated to enhance accuracy and control at key stages, with reviewed corrections feeding continuous learning. Agents ship in two forms, assistants that support human decision-making and robots that automate processes autonomously, so the autonomy level is a design-time choice. No confidence threshold routing uncertain items to review, action allowlist, or scope or spend limit is described.

Escalations, powered by Action apps in Action Center, let a developer have the agent validate business details with a person before running a tool, request approval, or ask for manual assistance on a business exception. Each escalation carries a prompt that tells the agent when to raise it, and is routed to a specific user, to the least-loaded member of a group, to all group members, or round robin. Runtime Checker validates agent behavior against defined policies while the agent is running, not only when it was built, and an LLM as judge guardrail evaluates outputs against custom criteria.

Identity and Access provides secure access with RBAC, SSO and multi-tenancy, with guardrails on model and agent behavior, and the site footer shows ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018, plus ISO 9001, as certified. The security page describes the management system as aligned with those standards, which is consistent with holding the certificates, but no certificate or registrar is named.

UiPath's trust portal publishes a SOC 2 Type 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate, a HITRUST certificate, C5, IRAP, HIPAA and Spain's ENS certificate of conformity. The customer-facing controls on the agent layer are Automation Ops policies applied through the AI Trust Layer at tenant level, which control whether users can access and use agents across the organization.

Every agent run leaves a trace, a detailed record of the steps taken, data processed, decisions made and results generated, with timestamps, errors, inputs and outputs, so a failed tool call can be inspected at the exact step with its inputs, outputs and error. UiPath positions traces for debugging, performance analysis of latency, errors and throughput, and compliance and auditing as a verifiable record of what the agent did, when and how.

SaaS, private cloud and on-premises deployment are offered, which Altilia calls deployment sovereignty, with domain-tuned small and large language models served locally so inference runs inside the deployment rather than being sent to a hosted provider.

Data is kept within the customer's secure infrastructure, and customers retain ownership of data, models and assets. The company positions itself as a sovereign European platform competing with US hyperscalers.

No region selection within the SaaS offering, installation requirement, or statement of which components run customer-side in the on-premises mode is described.

UiPath comes in two delivery models, Automation Cloud, its cloud service, and Automation Suite, which runs the platform on the customer's own premises, each with its own documentation set. Automation Suite now runs on Linux with the full agentic AI stack, so agents, robots and people work inside infrastructure the enterprise already operates.

Customers can deploy ready-to-use agents for common use cases, including extracting data from invoices, orders and transport documents, or use the integrated development environment to create bespoke agents. A broader specialized set covers document classification by semantic context, data extraction from unstructured sources, semantic search and question answering with source attribution, summarization into reports, and generation of emails and operational content, and blueprints for common use cases are referenced.

Altilia lists 45 named agents across eight industries and a cross industry group, among them Credit Memo Drafting, Customer Onboarding Data Capture, Secured NPL Data Acquisition, Insurance Claims Management, the DORA Compliance Agent, Hospital Order Management and the Enterprise Search Agent, each with a line on the job it does. Customers reach them through a demo request rather than a self serve deploy button.

The platform is model agnostic and runs any commercial or open-source model, with domain-tuned small and large language models served locally and model selection driven by cost and data type, which Altilia frames as customers owning their models.

RAG techniques retrieve and fine-tune LLMs and SLMs against enterprise knowledge, and AI agents trained on customer data remain the customer's intellectual property. Altilia positions model portability as the basis of its sovereign European alternative to hyperscaler platforms. No named provider list, model picker interface or automatic runtime routing between models is described.

The builder chooses the model for each agent at design time and refines that choice once evaluations show how different models perform on accuracy, stability, speed and cost, and a custom model can be configured for Context Grounding through the admin guide's LLM configuration.

AI agents connect directly into the customer's operations and applications through an API-first architecture, embedded across the tech stack from legacy systems to modern cloud applications. Simple SDKs are one of three first-class routes for building agents, alongside natural language and visual scripting. No API reference, endpoint list, authentication documentation, SDK package, developer portal or MCP server is published.

Monitoring and tracking of model performance spot inefficiencies, with continuous learning and improvement over time, alongside human review and validation of data classifications, extractions and AI-generated answers whose corrections feed the training loop. There is no held-out test set, recorded expected outputs, scored run, evaluation harness or comparison between agent versions. Accuracy above ninety-five percent on domain-specific tasks is vendor-reported.

Evaluations check agents against defined cases before and during release. An evaluation pairs an input with an evaluator that checks the agent's output or trajectory against the expected result, evaluation sets group evaluations, and each run produces a score from 0 to 100 with traces of the evaluation runs to diagnose failures and re-run. Evaluations can be created from correct past runs, and evaluation results guide model choice.

Altilia calls its autonomous agents robots, as distinct from assistants, and independent analysts describe the agents-and-skills combination as providing robotic process automation capabilities.

The mechanism is agents classifying, extracting, summarizing and generating against documents and a knowledge graph, reaching systems through an API-first architecture and pre-built connectors, not through interface operation. Computer vision and document analysis and recognition read scanned images and handwritten notes as part of document intake. There is no browser control, navigation, form filling, screen interaction, visual grounding or desktop automation.
