UiPath has announced the global availability of agentic AI capabilities on its Automation Suite, including deployment in Singapore, giving enterprises in regulated industries the option to run agentic AI within their own infrastructure rather than relying on cloud-only models.
The update allows enterprises to deploy agentic AI on-premises using either cloud-hosted large language models or fully self-hosted open-source models. The company says the move is aimed at removing a key adoption barrier for sectors such as banking, government, insurance, and healthcare, where strict data residency and compliance requirements have limited cloud-only deployments.
Two deployment modes for different compliance needs
Automation Suite now offers two configurations. The first is designed for enterprises that already hold cloud model agreements but require self-hosted orchestration. This configuration provides the broadest set of agentic capabilities, including DeepRAG, Advanced Extraction, and Autopilot for Developers. The second enables enterprises to run recommended open-source models entirely within their own data centres, delivering core agentic capabilities including UiPath Maestro, Agent Builder, and Context Grounding.
A hybrid option is also available, where Automation Suite runs on the customer’s own infrastructure while LLM inference routes to a preferred cloud provider. UiPath describes this as suited to organisations operating under data residency rules that permit outbound inference but prohibit cloud-based orchestration.
Agentic AI adoption accelerating in Southeast Asia
The announcement comes as agentic AI adoption across the region shifts from experimentation to enterprise deployment. A UiPath-commissioned IDC InfoBrief found that 40% of organisations in Asia Pacific have already implemented agentic AI, with a further 50% planning to do so within the next 12 months.
Compliance requirements should never be a ceiling on innovation, yet regulated industries across APJ have missed out on early agentic AI gains due to rigid constraints, said Raghu Malpani, Chief Product and Technology Officer at UiPath. Automation Suite eliminates the trade-off between adopting AI and maintaining data sovereignty.
UiPath notes that most agentic automation features are now available on Automation Suite, with Conversational Agent and Intelligent Xtraction and Processing capabilities expected to follow in October 2026.
