Which is an AI Skill type in Appian?

• A. Email deletion
• B. Document extraction
• C. File archiving
• D. Task scheduling

Answer: (B)

In Appian, AI Skill types are capabilities that use machine learning to interpret or extract information from content. Document extraction fits this because it uses AI (often OCR and ML) to pull structured data from documents, turning unstructured text into usable fields you can map to your data model—like invoice numbers, dates, totals, or supplier names. This automates data entry and accelerates processing of papers, PDFs, or scanned files.

The other options represent routine data-management tasks rather than AI-driven interpretation: deleting emails, archiving files, and scheduling tasks are standard operations and do not involve extracting or understanding content with AI.
