AI Related Features

Before commencing, please check out the quick Recap of what we achieved in 2025. Net, net, support for -

Create B2B Trading Partner based on Natural Language

Let's try this out with the following input - - This TP profile sends X12 4010 850 via AS2 protocol.

- Application Partner ID for the TP is AI_TP

- AS2 Identifier is AI_TP_AS2

- Here is the ISA and GS segment from an X12 850 that was sent to OIC by the TP. Create B2B identifiers from this sample.

ISA*00*00*01*AI_TP*01*MyCompany*241112*1245*U*00401*000000015*0*P~

GS*PO*AI_TP*MyCompany*19960807*1548*000001*X*004010~

Here's the result -

This is exceedingly useful, especially when you have to create multiple trading partners. You can use the input as a template, then amend as necessary, for each new Trading Partner.

Create Integrations, based on those in the Integration Store

This is about jump starting your integration implementation journey. You describe your business use case in natural language and we identify potential integrations that could fulfill your requirements. These integrations could be part of a larger recipe / accelerator, however, only the relevant integration is imported into your project.
