Appian customer Laborers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA) uses the document classification AI Skill to help address labor disputes faster and increase process automation.
“Appian AI Skill Designer helps us get real value from AI without needing a team of data scientists to figure it out,” said Matt Richard, CIO, LiUNA. “The low-code design made it quick and easy for our developers to incorporate AI into our existing applications.”
“AI is an essential component of the end-to-end automation that businesses need to gain efficiency and market differentiation. Other AI tools are complex and lack data privacy, prohibiting most organizations from gaining value from AI,” said Michael Beckley, CTO and Founder, Apian. “We are removing these barriers of complexity so anyone can train custom AI models without special skills, while also ensuring AI training data is secure and compliant with regulations.”
