Appian announced key elements of its expanded strategy and roadmap for generative AI in the Appian Platform for process automation. Appian’s focus is on democratizing access to AI technology in order to unlock productivity gains for developers, and the company’s strategy centers on delivering secure and reliable private AI to protect customers’ data.
“Appian incorporates AI in a practical manner that delivers real customer value,” said Michael Beckley, CTO and Founder, Appian. “Our vision is embodied by the Appian AI Copilot, which uses generative AI to accelerate low-code development and is supported 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 declarative SAIL expression language. Appian also unveiled the Appian AI Skill Designer, a simple and powerful way for organizations to create custom AI machine learning models that don’t require giving their sensitive data to a public AI platform.
Appian delivered two new AI plug-ins to the Appian AppMarket:
- Appian Azure OpenAI Connected System: Appian increases freedom of choice for customers wanting to use cutting edge generative AI in their business processes. With this low-code connector, your business 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 Pinecone’s vector database, users can query their Appian document knowledge base and retrieve intelligent results based on the semantic meaning of their question. Used in tandem with OpenAI, this integration enables users to chat with their private data and receive contextually relevant information from generative AI.
Expanded AI roadmap.
The Appian Platform is built on an enterprise-ready AI architecture that is delivering real business value today. Our key architectural components make it easy to leverage AI, including our patented SAIL and Data Fabric, our AI Skill Designer for building private AI services, and our ability to easily incorporate AI in end-to-end process automations.
“Appian believes low-code and AI are a perfect match,” said Michael Beckley, CTO and Founder, Appian. “Appian’s AI Copilot demonstrates the natural advantages of this union by making its suggestions inside low-code design tools. Low-code is the perfect medium for AI to express application designs while ensuring humans can easily understand and refine AI creations through an intuitive and visual design environment.”
