AI Builder is a windows-based software application providing a graphical user interface and integrated development environment for the development of sophisticated data-analysis and decision making systems. These computational systems are created from the ground up by adding any of the current set of template components to the work area, and attaching the inputs and outputs of these components to other components or external inputs and/or outputs.
To begin using AI Builder, please check your system to ensure it meets the minimum system requirements as provided below, and follow the instructions for installing.
