The toolbar arranges Skills into their respective categories providing easy access to use the skill, via drag-and-drop functionality, in any process.
- Web APIs – Provides a simple UI for configuring Web API definitions which can be used to call out to and authenticate against third-party web services, such as Cloud AI capabilities. Web APIs can also be shared between environments in the same way as Objects and Processes. Web APIs offer the flexibility to call a variety of 3rd party services, including cognitive AI capabilities from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
