High-impact business applications that integrate AI capabilities (such as image recognition and sentiment analysis) into human workflows can help transform the customer experience, optimize internal operations, and reduce costs. However, building these applications can be complicated and costly.
Appian AI makes AI simple and practical for Appian customers. With Appian’s no-code Connected System integration, creating AI-fueled business apps is simple. In addition to drag-and-drop composition, Appian eliminates the complexity of contracting with Google as a third-party provider, estimating proper funding, and administering the Google Console to manage security, projects, and service accounts.
“We want to give everyone a free and easy way to use AI in all of their enterprise applications,” said Medhat Galal, Vice President of Software Development at Appian. “We set up their link to Google’s AI services and our customers are off to the races. And, we subsidize the entire cost of the free tier of Appian AI, so all the customer has to think about is which services to use for their business problem.”
Appian AI builds on Appian’s “Connected Systems” vision and architecture, announced earlier this year. The architecture makes Appian’s low-code platform the central orchestrator of a growing ecosystem of third-party applications and services that are integrated through no-code plug-ins.
