UiPath Automation Hub
UiPath Automation Hub is a collaborative platform designed to help organisations manage their automation strategy by gathering, assessing, and prioritising automation ideas. It enables employees, business analysts, citizen developers, and centres of excellence (CoE) to submit process improvement ideas, track the lifecycle from idea through to implementation, and visualise how automation efforts align with business-value goals. With Automation Hub, companies can avoid ad-hoc automation efforts by consolidating all pipeline activities in one place, improving governance, visibility, and collaboration across teams.
Key Features

Idea submission portal: Allows any user to submit potential automation ideas, specify expected benefits, and provide initial details.
-
Pipeline management dashboard: Displays all automation projects, their status, estimated ROI, prioritisation ranking, and progress from idea to production.
-
Process repository and documentation bank: Centralised storage for process maps, documentation, task recordings, and project assets to support automation readiness.
-
Integration with discovery tools: Works with tools such as desktop task capture, process mining, and task mining to feed rich data into the pipeline.

Gamification and community engagement: Encourages employee involvement through rewards, peer-recognition, and collaboration features to build an internal automation culture.

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Gives a single centralised view of automation ideas and pipeline, improving governance and visibility | Requires organisational change and user adoption to ensure ideas are submitted and pipeline is maintained |
| Encourages broad participation (business users, analysts, developers) promoting automation culture | Without active management and prioritisation it may become a backlog of ideas with little action |
| Integrates with discovery and documentation tools to accelerate the automation lifecycle | Pricing may be unclear and licensing can vary depending on modules and bundling |
| Facilitates tracking of ROI, impact and progress of automation initiatives | May be more beneficial for organisations with dedicated automation practice and scale rather than small pilot programmes |
Final Verdict
UiPath Automation Hub is a valuable platform for organisations looking to scale their automation programme beyond isolated bots. If you want to capture ideas, prioritise based on business impact, manage a pipeline of automation projects, and build a community around automation, this tool provides strong support. For smaller organisations or those just starting automation efforts, simpler tracking tools may suffice initially; however as you grow and need structure, governance, and visibility at scale, Automation Hub is well worth consideration.
