Creating a project in AI Center vs Document Understanding

I have created a project in AI Center to do invoice extraction by using ML Skill.
But it shows a popup in AI Center as

And when I created a project in Document understanding , it is also visible in AI center project.
My queries are :

What is the difference between these two projects created?
Will both projects created through these 2 different methods has the same action?

Hey @rnahasnahasuddin
Every AI Center project — whether created manually or via Document Understanding - is an isolated environment that holds its own ML packages, datasets, pipelines, and skills.

If you create a project directly in AI Center, it’s meant for managing custom ML workflows (like training or deploying models). But when a DU workflow triggers the creation of a project (e.g. by using an out-of-the-box ML Skill like Invoice Extractor), that project appears in AI Center too - yet it’s tied to the DU pipeline and uses prebuilt models.

They may both show up in the same AI Center UI, but their purpose and usage are different.

I have created a project manually in AI Center. But when I got aware of this pop up, I am little bit confused,

What does this pop up means?
The out of box ML Package created in the AI Center project will be depreciated after a time period? and if the project created in Document Understanding will not be affected?

Can you please help me to clear my confusion?

That popup means UiPath is planning to phase out the use of out-of-the-box ML packages when they’re used directly in AI Center projects created manually.

But if you’re using those same models inside a Document Understanding workflow, nothing changes. Document Understanding is not affected and will continue to support these models.
