Generative features (Unified)

Depending on the version of the activity package you are using, there are slight differences related to Platform Units consumption:

Activities version 24.12-preview and above
Activities version up to 24.12-preview

Generative prelabeling does not consume Platform Units when using public endpoints or skills deployed in Automation Cloud™ from Document Manager sessions hosted on Automation Cloud. Generative prelabeling consumes Platform Units when calling a public endpoint from a session hosted on Automation Suite, or when calling a skill deployed in Automation Suite from a Document Manager session hosted on Automation Cloud.

Activities version 24.12-preview and above

This consumption is applicable in the following situations:

Using activities version 24.12-preview and above with PredefinedGenerative projects.
Using Document Understanding API v1.1 with PredefinedGenerative projects.

There are no additional AI units consumed when using Generative Classification and Generative Extraction. There are only 0.2 Platform Units charged, regardless of the operations performed on a page at runtime, including Generative Classification and Generative Extraction.

Note: Using Generative Validation consumes an additional 0.2 Platform Units for each processed page. This brings the total of 0.4 Platform Units consumed for processed pages using generative validation.

Activities version up to 24.12-preview

This consumption is applicable in the following situations:

Using activities version up to 24.12-preview with the Predefined project.
Using Document Understanding API v1.0 with the Predefined project.

Using generative features incur specific charges for each operation, as described in the following table.

Table 1. Generative features Platform Units consumption for activitities version up to 24.12-preview
Generative feature	Consumed Platform Units
Generative Classifier	0.0.4 per operation
Generative Extraction	0.24 per operation
Generative Validation	0.2 per operation
