UiPath on macOS: Automate Your Mac with Studio Web

UiPath now enables full end-to-end enterprise-grade automation directly on macOS using Studio Web and the UiPath Assistant for Mac, allowing native UI automation for various applications.

• UiPath now offers full automation capabilities on macOS via Studio Web and UiPath Assistant.

• Automations can be built with no-code 'Click activity' and AI-driven 'Screenplay' prompts.

• The UiPath Assistant for Apple Silicon Macs enables native UI automation for desktop apps.

Mac users can now leverage UiPath for comprehensive automation, from personal tasks to complex enterprise processes, directly on their macOS devices. This is achieved through the browser-based Studio Web and a dedicated UiPath Assistant for Mac, which supports native UI automation for desktop and cross-platform applications. The platform simplifies automation building with no-code options like 'Click Activity' and advanced AI capabilities such as 'Screenplay' for complex UI interactions via natural language prompts.

UiPath Automation for Mac

• 00:00:00 UiPath has introduced full end-to-end automation capabilities for Mac users, overcoming historical limitations where many tools were Windows-only or required workarounds. Studio Web, a browser-based AI-native build environment, combined with the UiPath Assistant for Mac, allows native UI automation for any Mac application, including Pages, Numbers, Notes, Mail, Safari, Excel, and Word, facilitating both personal productivity and enterprise-grade workflows.

Setting Up UiPath on Mac

• 00:01:07 To begin automating on a Mac, users must sign up for a free UiPath account via cloud.uipath.com and download the UiPath Assistant for Mac, specifically the Apple Silicon version to support native desktop app UI automation. Installing the assistant requires granting accessibility and screen recording permissions in System Settings, which allows UiPath to securely interact with the Mac's screen and local applications.

Building UI Automations

• 00:04:53 UiPath Studio Web simplifies UI automation through intuitive tools that do not require coding. Users can build workflows by indicating where the robot should click, capturing specific interface elements in applications like Pages. This 'Click activity' allows for actions such as adding new pages or pasting text, and the 'healing agent' configuration ensures automations remain resilient by adapting to common UI changes or unexpected pop-ups.

AI-Powered Screenplay Automation

• 00:09:34 For more complex UI automation tasks, UiPath introduces 'Screenplay,' an AI-driven agent that automates UIs on Mac, both in browsers and on the desktop, through natural language prompts. Instead of explicit coding or pointing to elements, users can describe desired actions, such as 'open the two most recently published videos in their own browser tabs.' Screenplay leverages AI models like UiPath with Gemini 2.5 Flash or GPT-5 to interpret and execute these instructions, significantly simplifying complex workflow creation.
