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 - 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 |
