The leading player in process automation offers concrete and valuable solutions for low-code application development
MILAN , July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Appian (Nasdaq: APPN ) today announced key elements of its Generative AI strategy and roadmap that will enrich its process automation platform. Appian’s goal is to democratize access to Artificial Intelligence in order to deliver a radical increase in productivity for professional developers, with a strategy that focuses on the availability of a secure and reliable Private AI to protect customer data.
“Appian incorporates AI into its solutions in practical, hands-on ways to deliver real value for customers,” said Michael Beckley , CTO and founder of Appian . “Our vision is embodied in Appian AI Copilot, which uses generative AI to accelerate low-code development and is powered by a family of intuitive, low-code AI capabilities.”
Appian recently announced OpenAI/ChatGPT low-code integration and that ChatGPT is trained on Appian’s SAIL declarative language. Appian also introduced the Appian AI Skill Designer , a simple and powerful way for organizations to build custom AI machine learning models, which doesn’t require you to provide your sensitive data to a public AI platform.
Today Appian introduces two new AI plug-ins to the Appian AppMarket:
- Appian AzureGPT Connected System : Appian increases the freedom of choice for customers who want to use cutting-edge generative AI in their business processes. With this low-code connector, enterprises can seamlessly connect to Azure’s OpenAI service and combine generative AI with enterprise-grade data security governance.
- Appian Pinecone Connected System : Using the new low-code integration to the Pinecone vector database, users can query their Appian database and retrieve valuable results based on the semantic meaning of their question. Used in tandem with OpenAI, this integration allows users to chat with their private data and receive contextually relevant insights from generative AI.
Enriched AI roadmap
The Appian platform is built on a turnkey AI architecture that delivers real business value today. Our key architectural components make it easier to use AI and include the patented SAIL and Data Fabric architectures , AI Skill Designer for building private AI services, and the ability to easily incorporate AI into end-to-end process automation.
Appian continues to bring innovative generative AI capabilities to market in increasingly advanced versions, including:
- Instant generation of scanned forms from PDF by understanding documents.
- Appian combines the power of large language models (LLM) with additional AI-based training of the SAIL architecture and document understanding capabilities to develop a new generative AI capability that enables instant interpretation and creation of new applications from existing PDF documents.
- Analytics using natural language queries powered by Appian Data Fabric AI.
- 94% of new Appian customers have adopted the revolutionary Data Fabric. Appian is combining its data fabric with generative AI and natural language understanding to create unique capabilities for self-service analytics. This will enable every user to identify insights from the Appian Data Fabric to improve their business operations.
- AI-generated workflows built in real time based on natural language instructions.
- Appian is implementing LLM and AI training to understand the fundamental nature of workflow and process patterns and support AI-generated workflows. This will allow users to orchestrate workflows with natural language prompts, further breaking down barriers to human-machine collaboration.
- AI-enabled out-of-the-box solutions.
- Appian has introduced AI-generated RFIs within its suite of Government Acquisition and Case Management solutions . New and existing Appian solutions will be permeated with AI capabilities.
“Appian believes low-code and AI are a perfect match,” said Michael Beckley . Appian’s “AI Copilot” demonstrates the natural benefits of this combination by providing its suggestions within low-code design tools, which are the perfect medium for AI to create application design, while ensuring that humans can easily understand and refine AI’s creations through an intuitive and visual design environment.”
Appian will deliver Generative AI capabilities in its new Appian 23.3 release, expected in August 2023, and intends to continue investing in AI throughout 2023 and beyond. Artificial Intelligence is a fundamental tenet of Appian’s product management philosophy and will guide all aspects of its product design, along with an ongoing commitment to innovation that generates value for customers.
