Apps

Custom and AI Hub apps help you automate your repeatable document processing workflows. You can use AI Hub apps to solve common use cases, such as verifying identity from driver’s licenses, extracting income information from paystubs, or translating documents into another language. Or, you can build custom apps to suit your particular needs with AI Hub Build. If you’re a member of a commercial organization, you can also use the Apps tab to discover custom apps created and shared by other members. You can find custom apps or browse AI Hub apps on the Apps tab.

Info

AI Hub apps include sample documents so that you can try out the app.

Managing custom apps

When you open any of your custom apps, you can upload and process files. You can also:

  • View app details to see what document types the app processes, and what fields it extracts from each type or class.

  • Edit the app, adding or modifying any of the classes and fields in your app.

  • Delete the app. Deleting the app deletes the app and any files you have processed, but it doesn’t delete the project you used to create the app. You can delete the project from Build.

Using apps

  1. From the Apps tab, select the app for your use case or one of your own custom apps.

  2. Commercial From the Run app in workspace field, select the workspace in which to run the app. The app run results display only in the selected workspace.

Sharing apps
