However, I&amp;#39;d like to call out that the three AI Skills that use traditional machine learning technology (Structured Document Extraction, Document Classification, and Email Classification) are designed to &lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/Extract_from_Document_Smart_Service.html#runtime-behavior"&gt;run asynchronously&lt;/a&gt; and thus can take minutes to respond.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If response time has a strong impact on your use case, I recommend using a Generative AI Skill, which &lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/Execute_Generative_AI_Skill_Smart_Service.html#usage-considerations"&gt;run synchronously and&amp;nbsp;support activity chaining&lt;/a&gt;. You can leverage these Skills for Intelligent Document Processing use cases through &lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.3/aidc-2.9/aidc-landing.html"&gt;AI Document Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to increase the execution speed of AI skills</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/151357?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:28:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:1021bd55-ec29-4290-8d4b-e24270ef9e88</guid><dc:creator>Shubham Aware</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="284523" url="~/discussions/f/rules/39679/how-to-increase-the-execution-speed-of-ai-skills"]Is this because my model is not trained enough?

&lt;p&gt;No, training won&amp;#39;t help with speed. Training only improves accuracy, not performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 minutes for that simple table is abnormal. Should take seconds. This is an infrastructure/network issue; contact Appian support as 5 minutes for that simple document indicates a system problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
