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.

Testing to ensure stability and improve accuracy

With our development of the chatbot and the automation complete, we can move on to testing both workflows together. Testing any automated workflow before deployment is crucial to ensure that the automation works as expected. In this section, we will publish both the UiPath automation and the Druid chatbot so that we can test the functionality between the two.

Publishing the Druid chatbot

In order for us to be able to test our Druid chatbot and to make it available for users to chat with, we need to publish the bot. Publishing the bot automatically provisions all the required resources in the DRUID environment. A bot is not functional until it is successfully published.

The steps we need to take to publish our chatbot are listed here:
