- Release Notes
January 2020
Yet another watermark moment for us at UiPath, and hopefully a game changer in your automation path, as this release introduces our new celebrity child: AI Fabric. Aimed at providing an artificial intelligence-powered RPA solution, AI Fabric is able to elevate the capabilities of your workflows using AI technologies. Long story short, we wanted to give you a method to augment your RPA potential through AI algorithms.
Long story short, AI Fabric breaks down the barriers between RPA and data science teams as it enables you to build, deploy, and manage machine learning models and other AI skills using UiPath Orchestrator, and then consume them within RPA workflows in UiPath Studio. Learn more about it here .
A series of open-source prebuilt packages are provided by UiPath Engineers through the Open Source Data Science Community. You can find the list, and a broad description of each package here . Of course, you can build your own ML packages specifically suited to the unique needs of your business, as described here .
We took care of version control as well, so you don’t have to worry about visibility on how skills are being used across teams or when they undergo changes. See here all there is to know about package versioning.
Please note AI Fabric is available in English and is licensed as a separate service. For now, it is only accessible via your Cloud Platform account on the Enterprise plan. Learn how to access it here .
In order to support the AI Fabric initiative, we have created a new activity pack, UiPath.MLServices.Activities, which contains the ML Skill activity, that enables you to summon ML Skills at any point in your automation process. Keep in mind that this activity package is only available in Studio v2019.10+, and can only be used by Robots v2019.10+.
The newly launched AI Fabric is accessible via your Cloud Platform account on the Enterprise licensing plan. Read here more about licensing. To gain access to AI Fabric on your Cloud Platform tenant, don't forget to allocate the received licenses to that tenant.
We've reorganized the Other Services tab within the Licenses page, grouping invoices and receipts extraction features under the name Document Understanding. Now you are also able to see the number of pages you are entitled to process via this service, according to your Community or Enterprise plan. For example, for your Community plan there is no explicit page entitlement, only a limit of 2 pages and 4MB per request, and a maximum of 10 requests per minute. Read more about licensing here.
