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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored all aspects of the UiPath platform. The UiPath platform is ideal for companies that are looking to accelerate and amplify their transformation journey with cognitive automation. We have learned the critical success criteria for a cognitive automation platform. We provided an overview of the entire UiPath platform. We also provided an overview of three key AI-infused products – UiPath Document Understanding, UiPath AI Center, and UiPath Chatbot with Druid.

What you learned in this chapter will serve as a foundation for you to get hands-on experience with the examples involving these products in the subsequent chapters.

In the next chapter, we will explore how to identify cognitive opportunities. As we work to identify automation opportunities, the value proposition of automation should always be the central focus, tying back to the higher-level targeted business objectives of the organization and the central vision of the automation...
