There are different AI model types:

• Custom Models:

  • Needs to be trained.
  • Needs historical data.

• Pre-built Models:
  • Capabilities: key phrase extraction, language detection, sentiment analysis, text recognition (OCR), business card reader, entity extraction, receipt processing, and category classification.
