Democratizing Artificial Intelligence with UiPath

Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence (AI) enables enterprises to optimize business processes that are probabilistic, highly variable, and require cognitive abilities with unstructured data. Many believe there is a steep learning curve with AI, however, the goal of our book is to lower the barrier to using AI. This practical guide to AI with UiPath will help RPA developers and tech-savvy business users learn how to incorporate cognitive abilities into business process optimization. With the hands-on approach of this book, you'll quickly be on your way to implementing cognitive automation to solve everyday business problems. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this book will help you understand the power of AI and give you an overview of the relevant out-of-the-box models. You’ll learn about cognitive AI in the context of RPA, the basics of machine learning, and how to apply cognitive automation within the development lifecycle. You’ll then put your skills to test by building three use cases with UiPath Document Understanding, UiPath AI Center, and Druid. By the end of this AI book, you'll be able to build UiPath automations with the cognitive capabilities of intelligent document processing, machine learning, and chatbots, while understanding the development lifecycle.

Building the solution with the Document Understanding framework

As we venture into building our defined use case, we must ensure that we develop the automation according to best practice. As we build out the use case in the following sections, we will follow the steps of the UiPath Document Understanding framework (Figure 8.9):

Figure 8.9 – UiPath's Document Understanding framework

The steps of the Document Understanding framework allow us to best build cognitive automation, combining all the technologies and approaches necessary.

In addition to following the Document Understanding framework as we develop the use case, to help speed up development and to ensure we follow the framework, we will leverage UiPath's Document Understanding Process template during the development process. This template is a fully functional UiPath Studio project template based on a document processing flowchart for use on a simple demo or a large-scale implementation...
