This section details how to utilize the Intelligent Automated Digital Assistant (IADA) Visual Business Object (VBO) – IADA.ai.

The IADA.ai VBO is available for use with Blue Prism Cloud and has the following Intelligent Automation Skills available:

  • Language translation
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Language detection
  • Text analysis
  • Extraction of key phrases.

The IADA.ai VBO enables you to use the inbuilt actions to call the IADA.ai web services, which use Microsoft Cognitive Services, with the results being returned to your automation.

IADA.ai resides within a centralized Blue Prism Cloud Microsoft Azure subscription which is external to any client or partner platform subscription.

IADA.ai needs to be installed and configured. To do this:

  • If it is not already installed in Blue Prism, raise a request with Blue Prism Cloud Operations to install the VBO file.
