if using AI Form Processing, which plan should i use

[JoeAu]

i want to use AI Form Processing, whenever PDF invoices upload to OneDrive for Business, then extract data into Excel file or SharePoint list.

do i just buy "Per user plan with attended RPA" license is enough?

what is the meaning "5,000 AI Builder service credits per month"? does it mean processing only 5000 pages per month?

if i use RPA later, does this license only support attended RPA? no un-attend mode?

thanks.

@JoeAu 

You have to buy AI builder add-on, the RPA license add-on are for desktop flows. If you want to run a desktop flow then you can go with the RPA license with attended/unattended automation.

As you have the AI form processing model, you have to buy the AI builder add-on, for estimating the costs based on the load you can check the link - AI Builder Calculator | Microsoft Power Automate here you can input the number of forms you will be processing and it will display the effective cost and number of add-ons required.

You can plan the  licenses accordingly, for more assistance you can also contact sales team from the link

So, if i just need the AI Form Processing module to extract 300 pages of the invoice in a month, i need to purchase:

Per user plan with attended RPA $40 + AI Addon $500 = $540 per month

do i right?

Is there any cheaper solution to do that?

Thanks.

Hi,

"i want to use AI Form Processing, whenever PDF invoices upload to OneDrive for Business, then extract data into Excel file or SharePoint list."

To achieve this scenario you need only an AI addon which is indeed $500 per month

[JoeAu]

if i just need the AI Form Processing module to extract 300 pages of the invoice in a month, i still need to purchase AI Addon $500. It is too expensive.

Is there any cheaper solution to do that?

Unfortunately, this is the minimum add-on subscription at the moment.
The default assignment with RPA only enable to assess the feature with a couple of documents which can be processed.

[JoeAu]

where can i find more info. of your mentioned default assignment with RPA?

thanks,

 So I built this template that processes any document just using the less expensive image recognition AI Builder service & GPT.

It seems much less expensive with a much lower barrier to entry only requiring a premium Power Automate license with 5000 AI Builder credits per month & some on-going LLM / GPT costs…

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Cookbook/Extract-Data-From-PDFs-and-Images-With-G...

If I’m looking at this right, this method should cost

Image recognition +.0017

GPT prompt & output +.007

Flow actions +.00375

So about $ .013 per page.

Less expensive than any of the other microsoft document/receipt/invoice processing options. And several of those take about 30 seconds to run.
And the 5000 AI Builder credits that come with the now $15 premium Power Automate license is enough for 1500 Image recognition pages. So you could probably pro...

So it seems this method is faster, less expensive, easier to adjust, & requires less set-up than other standard AI builder set-ups.

Once the GPT actions are in general availability, I don’t know why I’d use any of the other services. 🤷‍
