Preface

Artificial intelligence (AI) enables enterprises to optimize business processes that require cognitive abilities, are probabilistic, and have high variability and unstructured data in terms of documents, images, and voice. RPA developers and tech-savvy business users do not have a high barrier to using AI to solve everyday business problems. This practical guide to AI with UiPath will help AI engineers and RPA developers working with business process optimization to put their knowledge to work. The book takes a hands-on approach to implementing automation in business use cases in no time.

Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this book begins by helping you understand the power of AI and gives you an overview of leveraging 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 life cycle. You'll then put your skills to the 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 automation with the cognitive capabilities of Document Understanding and AI Center while understanding the development life cycle.
