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.

Chapter 6: Understanding Your Tools

Every great craftsperson is highly familiar with all the tools in their tool belt. An expert in the trade, the craftsperson knows exactly which tool is needed to get the job done. In our case, it is important for us to understand the tools available to us before developing a cognitive automation use case. In this chapter, Understanding Your Tools, we will learn about the characteristics of UiPath's cognitive tools:

  • Document Understanding
  • AI Center
  • Computer Vision

By having a full understanding of the tools available to us, we can more accurately choose the right tool for the job. In this chapter, we'll learn about the Document Understanding activities and how they come together with the Document Understanding framework, which we'll use to develop Document Understanding use cases. We will then transition to AI Center, learning about the AI Center activities and touring the features of the tool. Lastly, we&apos...
