# AI Hub fundamentals

> Introduction to Instabase's unified document automation platform.

Welcome to AI Hub fundamentals, your introduction to Instabase's unified intelligent automation platform. This course is designed to be accessible to all users, whether you're a business professional with no coding background or a developer looking to build complex enterprise solutions.

In this course, you'll learn how anyone can use the app editor to create document applications with visual, low-code/no-code configuration. You'll also see how the same platform scales to support technical developers building customized advanced apps with advanced logic and code.

By bridging no-code configuration and developer-grade customization, this learning path teaches you how to design, run, validate, and scale automated workflows in a single environment.

## Who should attend

This course is built for a dual audience:

* **Business users and analysts** -- Build and deploy production-ready applications with the app editor using point-and-click tools. No technical background or coding required.

* **Developers and solutions architects** -- Understand how to extend standard applications into advanced apps using complex schemas, custom logic, and developer tools.

## Learning objectives

By the end of this training, you'll be able to:

1. Navigate AI Hub and explain its core value in transforming unstructured data.

2. Understand how applications are constructed within the low-code/no-code app editor.

3. Gain familiarity with the end-to-end workflow of a document application--from initial ingestion to human-in-the-loop validation and data export.

4. Identify the core differences between standard apps and advanced apps, and how they're created. You'll understand when a project can be built in the app editor and when a task requires the flow editor's advanced tools like Refiner or Python UDFs.
