# About automation apps

> Automation capabilities transform documents into structured, actionable data.

AI Hub automation capabilities transform documents into structured, actionable data through intelligent document processing workflows. Whether you need to extract data from invoices, process insurance claims, or handle regulatory forms, automation apps provide consistent, scalable solutions for document-driven business processes.

## How automation works

Automation in AI Hub follows a structured workflow that takes you from concept to production.

#### [Creating apps](/automate/creating)

Build automation projects where you define document types and data extraction requirements, then package them into reusable apps.

#### [Testing apps](/automate/testing)

Validate accuracy through ground truth datasets and systematic testing to ensure quality before production.

#### [Running and deploying apps](/automate/running)

Scale your apps through on-demand runs or automated deployments that integrate with business systems.
