Using Model connections in Document Automation

Connect to any LLMs, including open-source, On-Premises, or custom models to Document Automation using the Model connections feature in AI Agent Studio.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have the required license or permissions. For detailed information, see Model connections erstellen und verwalten.
Task Licenses, roles, and permissions
View Model connections Intelligent Document Processing license. See Verstehen von Lizenzen in Document Automation.
Create Model connections
  • Attended bot runner license
  • AAE_Basic role
  • View Model Connections and Manage Model Connections permissions
Important: If you are updating to v.39 or later release and using BYOK for generative AI providers, then perform the following steps:
  1. Open the Extract data action of the learning instance and set None in the Additional settings option.
  2. Create Model connections for the generative AI provider and then use it in the learning instance.

With Model connections managed in the Control Room, you can access these connections without having to configure them every time. See Modellverbindungen.

You can create Model connections and use them in learning instances created in Document Automation.

Procedure

  1. Create a Model connection. See Model connections erstellen und verwalten.
  2. Use the created Model connection in a new learning instance or an existing learning instance.
    • New learning instance
      1. Click Create new.
      2. On the Create Learning Instance configuration screen, click the Generative AI-driven data extraction drop-down menu.
        Note: It might take some time to display the Model connections in the drop-down menu.
      3. Select the created custom model in the Custom model connections section.
      4. Update and the required fields to create the learning instance. See Create a learning instance in Document Automation.

      Selecting Model connections when creating new learning instances

    • Existing learning instance
      1. Open the learning instance.
      2. Click the Learning Instance configuration (Learning instance configuration icon) option.
      3. On the Edit properties configuration screen, click the Generative AI-driven data extraction drop-down menu.
        Note: It might take some time to display the Model connections in the drop-down menu.
      4. Select the created custom model in the Custom model connections section.
      5. Click Modify.

      Selecting Model connections when editing new learning instances

    Note:
    • You will not be able to delete a Model connection that is being used by learning instances. To delete such a Model connection, you must first remove the connection from the learning instances and then delete the connection.
    • If a Model connection was captured in the version history of the test mode and the Model connection was deleted, an error is displayed when you try to revert to the version that is using this Model connection.
