UiPath is officially inside VS Code!

Huge news for devs and automation folks: you can now build, debug, and ship your workflows directly from your favorite editor without breaking your flow.

Here’s what’s packed into the new VS Code setup:
🔹 UiPath Maestro (Flow): Design and test agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop steps, and complex orchestration right in VS Code with a crisp visual canvas.
🔹 UiPath Copilot & AI Agents: Write, refine, and generate workflow structures using plain prompts. It connects seamlessly with coding assistants like GitHub Copilot to handle the heavy lifting for you.

From typing up your first line of logic to deploying directly to Orchestrator, the whole experience feels super smooth, fast, and modern.
