To use Appian AI Skill in a process, you must create and configure an AI Skill design object, and then add it to the process using the corresponding smart service.

• A. Install external AI runtime and call via API
• B. Add it to the process via a built-in wizard
• C. Create and configure an AI Skill design object, then add it to the process using the corresponding smart service
• D. AI Skill can only be used in test environments

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how to wire Appian AI Skill into a process by first defining and configuring the skill as a design object, then invoking it from the process with the appropriate smart service. In Appian, you create an AI Skill design object to capture the model configuration, inputs, outputs, and any credentials or version information. Once this design object is set up, you add it to the process using the corresponding smart service to call the skill, mapping process variables to the skill’s inputs and handling the returned results. This native workflow eliminates the need for external AI runtimes or API calls, and it isn’t limited to test environments—the skill can be used in production once configured correctly.
