Microsoft previewed Project Cortex, a suite of cloud-based AI-powered services designed to understand content and help users automate processes with it, at its Ignite developer conference in Orlando last year.
The first of those services to go on sale, SharePoint Syntex, will be revealed at this year’s Ignite, a virtual event taking place in your browser this week.
The content management tool learns to extract important or relevant semantic information from documents for use in workflows or for enforcing policies. Enterprises might use it to automate the processing of requests for proposals (RFPs) or service contracts to filter out those that don’t meet requirements, or to pay expenses claims based on scanned receipts.
