Appian 25.2 Makes AI . . . Boring?

AI Document Center takes the guesswork out of prompt creation and reconciliation, making document processing with generative AI more intuitive, accurate, and reliable.

With AI Document Center, you can quickly create highly-accurate generative AI models that can read anything—from long-format documents to messy, hand-written notes.

An intuitive no-code experience makes it easy to configure and validate extraction and classification models. You can even set up advanced validations and post-processing rules to ensure data is extracted in the format you need.

Simply describe documents and define fields, review the auto-generated prompt, and use the built-in reconciliation flow for business-user validation.

With everything you need to deploy AI-powered IDP directly in a process, you can improve processing time for document-dependent workflows and get better results from straight-through processing.

Agent Studio empowers you to build AI agents for your processes that can autonomously perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with your existing systems.

“Think of them as intelligent digital workers who can understand your business goals and execute them with precision,” says Philip Kang, AI/ML Solutions Architect at Appian.

With Agent Studio, you can create and deploy AI agents that handle complex, open-ended tasks— like checking if insurance policies are compliant with regulations. AI can analyze documents, reference knowledge bases, and flag exceptions for human review.

But what truly sets agents built on Appian apart is the combination of flexibility with control.

To replace the manual work a person does today, agents need rules, guardrails and guidance—just like any employee. Appian agents operate within the guardrails of your processes. They act based on context from records, documents, and rules. And their actions are fully auditable for complete visibility and control.

Find information faster and easier with AI-powered semantic search.

Smart search transforms how you find records by uncovering connections, detecting patterns, and surfacing related information across your entire data fabric—including text fields and documents attached to each record.

It goes beyond keyword matching by using AI-powered semantic search to understand your intent and return better results. For example, if you search for "electricity outage," smart search can also return results that mention "power failure" or "loss of power." When combined with filters, smart search makes it easier to uncover connections, detect patterns, and find the information that matters to you.

You can learn more about smart search in the 25.2 release notes.

Appian's data fabric allows you to stitch together data from multiple systems into a single, secure data model, so you can build applications quickly.

Now, we're expanding data fabric to support documents.

Starting this release, you can use record types to manage documents used in your applications and streamline document workflows.

With your data and documents in a single model, you can use AI to work smarter, like asking an AI Copilot to review similar case documents and recommend the best course of action.

And with the continued investments we’ve made in data fabric, you can now sync up to 20 million records per row.
