Appian Development: Build Real-World POCs with AI

Learn Appian by building 3 real-world Proofs of Concept (POCs), including an AI-powered Resume Scout using Appian AI Agent.

This course takes a practical, project-based approach to Appian development. Instead of learning Appian concepts in isolation, you'll see how different Appian features come together to build complete business applications.

POC 1 – Medical Test Management System

Build a record-centric healthcare application for managing patients and medical test results.

You'll work with:

• Record Types and relationships

• Reusable interfaces and expression rules

• Dynamic user interfaces

• Process Models

• Database-driven task management

• Querying data from multiple tables

• Dynamic charts and reports

• Email notifications

• Application security

• Patient and test-result management

You'll build functionality to register and manage patients, add multiple medical tests, update test results, view related patient information, and display dynamic reports.

POC 2 – Agile Development: Acme IT Solution

Build an IT asset and request management application using an Agile development approach.

You'll work through multiple sprints and user stories while building features such as:

• Asset management

• IT request management

• Dynamic interfaces

• Record actions

• Task assignment

• Multiple personas

• Process Models

• Email notifications

• Application security

• Reports, charts and KPIs

• Database-based task management

You'll see how an Appian application can be developed incrementally using an Agile approach.

POC 3 – AI-Powered Resume Scout

Build a practical recruitment application using an Appian AI Agent.

The Resume Scout can analyze multiple resumes and compare candidates against job requirements such as skills and experience.

You'll build functionality to:

• Capture job requirements

• Upload multiple resumes

• Configure an Appian AI Agent

• Analyze candidate resumes

• Identify technical skills and experience

• Compare candidates against job requirements

• Generate AI match scores

• Identify missing skills

• Classify candidates

• Generate AI recruiter summaries

• Display candidate screening results

• Build a recruiter dashboard

You'll build the AI application step by step, including the data model, AI Agent, user interface, Process Model, AI workflow, dashboard, and end-to-end testing.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the projects, you'll learn how to approach Appian development from a real business requirement through implementation and testing.

You'll work with:

• Appian Interfaces

• Record Types

• Expression Rules

• Process Models

• Database operations

• Queries and relationships

• Dynamic UI

• Reports and charts

• Application security

• Agile development

• Email notifications

• Task management

• Appian AI Agents

The goal is not just to learn what to build, but to understand how to think through and build a complete Appian application.

By the end of the course, you'll have built 3 practical Appian applications and gained hands-on experience developing traditional, Agile-based, and AI-powered Appian solutions.
