Overview of SharePoint Syntex

SharePoint Syntex is an M365 Service that uses AI and Machine Learning Models to augment human experiences, content processing, and knowledge transformation. It does not necessitate the creation of any code, unlike other machine learning algorithms. It automates the organization, classification, and tagging of structured, unstructured, or semi-structured documents in document libraries.

SharePoint libraries have long been used as a file repository, but there was no way to organize, classify, sort, and group documents based on their content.

SharePoint Syntex solves the content extraction problem and implements classifications It not only aids in content extraction, but it can also generate the document based on the contents stored in the database.

For classification and extraction, SharePoint Syntex already includes two prebuilt models.

Document understanding

The document comprehension model is used to extract information from unstructured documents such as contracts or letters. These documents must contain text that can be recognized using a pattern or phrase. When this model is applied to a document library, the extracted information is stored in the columns that correspond to a content type. It can also create a new content type or use an existing one.

Form processing

SharePoint Syntex creates a model in SharePoint document libraries using MS Power Platform AI builder form processing. Users can use the AI builder to create a model that extracts key-value pair or table data from unstructured documents such as forms, purchase orders, or invoices. The same information can be saved in the SharePoint list.
