AI Center is the infrastructure on top of which UiPath Document Understanding machine learning models run. These models can be deployed or instantiated for retraining with a few clicks.
See ML Packages.
See below for a summary of the Document Understanding plus AI Center deployment options.
📘
Note:
In this context, On Prem means the software is deployed in the customer’s environment, which can include Cloud deployments like Azure and Amazon Web Services.
Cloud refers to the UiPath-hosted Automation Cloud.
Deployment Type | Orchestrator | AI Center | Document Understanding ML Packages | Licensing | Notes |
|---|
SaaS | Any | Not used | Cloud
(SaaS) | Cloud | Uses read-only SaaS endpoints (e.g., du.uipath.com/ie/invoices)
ML Packages not retrainable
Community vs. Enterprise determined by API key
Enterprise version may store data temporarily for service quality assurance and monitoring
Community version retains data for UiPath use |
Cloud | Cloud | Cloud | Cloud
(in AI Center) | Cloud | Full Cloud deployment
Zero customer infrastructure footprint for AI Center/Document Understanding
Document Understanding ML Packages deployed via AI Center ML Skills may store data temporarily for service quality assurance and monitoring |
Hybrid | On Prem | Cloud | Cloud
(in AI Center) | Cloud | Uses public ML Skill capability from AI Center
On Prem orchestrated Robots call public ML Skills hosted inside AI Center Cloud via direct URL, with Document Understanding API key from the Cloud platform
Reverse hybrid approach also possible (Cloud Orchestrator, On Prem AI Center): same approach of exposing ML Packages from On Prem AI Center using public ML Skills capability |
On Prem - Connected | On Prem | On Prem | On Prem
(in AI Center) | Cloud | Default licensing model when picking On Prem
Cloud platform for licensing and metering checks only: no business data sent outside customer’s information security boundary (see this documentation page for connectivity requirements)
Enables subsequent SKU swaps because of visibility on metering usage |
On Prem - Airgapped | On Prem | On Prem | On Prem
(in AI Center) | On Prem
(in Orchestrator) | Not the default licensing model for On Prem Document Understanding unless specifically requested: installation more complex than On Prem - Connected install
Licensing file created by DealHub with On Prem Orchestrator used for licensing
No post-deal close swaps as we have no visibility into actual usage |
