Prompting guide

Guide to writing effective queries for Autopilot search, the one-shot retrieval capability.

Autopilot search is a one-shot retrieval capability: you ask a question, and Autopilot looks it up using its connected sources. There is no multi-step conversation or iterative refinement.

For general prompting tips, refer to Writing effective prompts.

Writing effective queries​

Because search returns a single answer, put your full question in one prompt:

  • Be specific — include the exact name of the resource, process, or concept you are looking for. For example, "What triggers are configured for the InvoiceProcessing process?" is better than "Show me triggers."
  • Add context — mention the folder, tenant, or project scope when applicable. For example, "List all assets in the Finance folder."
  • Ask one question at a time — search handles a single query per interaction. If you need multiple answers, submit separate queries.

In Orchestrator​

Autopilot search in Orchestrator uses connected retrieval sources (Web Search, Web Reader, UiPath Documentation Search) to answer questions about your environment, documentation, or general UiPath platform topics.

In Test Manager​

In Test Manager, Autopilot search lets you search across test objects using natural language — for example, "Find test cases related to invoice validation."
