General information

The Document Understanding Service is the starting point and an interface that hosts our Document Understanding products. Easily accessible and very user friendly, it is focused on allowing both RPA developers and business users to build document extraction and document classification capabilities, which can be later integrated into business automations.

Access the Document Understanding Service by logging into your UiPath Cloud account and selecting the Document Understanding option from the left navigation bar menu.

The Document Understanding Service currently allows you to create projects for structured documents only, using Forms AI.
