Apps are self-contained workflows within the Virtualitics AI Platform (VAIP). Apps are modular, highly customizable, support a wide array of analytics routines, and can be shared across users with access to a deployed instance of the VAIP. A single instance of the VAIP may contain one or more Apps.

Understanding Apps

Apps are at the heart of the VAIP and are useful in the following scenarios:

• You need to programmatically access data for an analytic workflow.
• You have a repeatable analytic workflow that you wish to automate.
• You have a machine learning pipeline that you would like to run without having to expose code.
• You have a machine learning model that you would like to interrogate.

AI Apps enable users to leverage AI and machine learning to quickly identify critical insights in their data.

Running Apps

Apps are made available in the VAIP in one of two ways:

• Developers may create new Apps and deploy them to the VAIP using the Command Line Interface (CLI) tool.
• If Virtualitics (or your company’s) data scientists developed Apps that were available when the VAIP was deployed (or were subsequently integrated into your instance of the VAIP), those Apps will be accessible from the Home page.

Flows

Each individual run of an App is called a flow. Flows can be saved and returned to later in order to review already-defined filters and outputs from that flow. This saves time spent re-loading data.

Running an App

To run an available App from the Home page:

1. Click the tile corresponding to the App you'd like to run.

2. On the screen that appears, locate an already-run flow and click View to return to that flow. To begin a new flow, on the top right of the screen, click New Flow.

   Note: You can name a flow by clicking on the Title at the top middle of the screen and updating the name.

3. Proceed through the App by clicking Next at the bottom of each page.
