Pega AI & GenAI Capabilities

We are working for an australian bank customer. We have several Pega applications of varying versions from Pega 7.1.9 onwards till Pega Infinity23.

Now, we are exploring to leverage Pega AI & GenAI features like BluePrint, AutoPilot, ProcessAI etc. that are useful for new applications.

How Pega GenAI Capablities can be leveraged for existing applications?

If the existing applications are built on older versions of Pega (like Pega 7.1.9, 7.2, 7.4, 8.5, 8.7 etc.) On-premise and / or cloud, is there any plug-in/hot-fix or anything of that sort, that Pega can provide?

It would be helpful if we can get any consolidated view of

  1. Pega AI features that can be straight away applied for the any of the above versions and

  2. Pega AI features that can be applied using plg-in/Hot fix

Kindly clarify.

Thanks
Ashok

@ASHOKKUMAR see below for our GenAI -tool answer to your question.

If you need a more in-depth discussion can you please use the Contact Sales details on the main pega.com website so that they can discuss your requirements in more detail.

Pega GenAI capabilities are available exclusively for Pega Cloud clients with active subscriptions and are integrated into Pega Infinity '23. For older versions of Pega, including Pega 7.1.9, 7.2, 7.4, 8.5, 8.7, etc., these capabilities are not directly available. There is no plug-in or hot-fix that can be provided to enable these features on older versions. To leverage Pega GenAI, you would need to upgrade your applications to Pega Infinity '23. It’s also important to note that Pega GenAI is designed to accelerate low-code development for new case types and does not directly apply to existing applications or case types.

Thank you so much Marije for the clarification.

I understand that Pega GenAI features are available only with Pega Infinity23 & beyond, but not available with any lower versions. However, I have the below questions -

General AI capabilties Question:

  1. What kind of Pega AI capabilities (not GenAI, I am referring general AI capabilities) that are available with older versions like Pega 7.1.9, 7.2, 7.4, 8.5, 8.7, etc. I know CDH leverages AI capabilities, so, question has two parts

Part A - What AI capabilties that the above old Pega versions come without CDH

Part B - What AI capabilties that the above old Pega versions come when CDH is included

GenAI Capabilties:

  1. Can the Pega GenAI features are available for applications built using Pega Infinity23 & beyond on-premise also or only on Cloud based applications? If so, need more details of

Part A - What GenAI capabilties available with On-premise applications and

Part B - what GenAI capabilties available with On-premise applications?

Kindly help.

Thanks

@ASHOKKUMAR Contrary to previous comments made by users on the forum (which have since been deleted…) I know Pega Support will not be able to help you with questions about hotfixes to ‘enable AI’. Hotfixes are no longer issued to ‘enable functionality’. Please check our latest documentation.

The short answer to your question 'How Pega GenAI Capablities can be leveraged for existing applications [on Pega 7.x versions]? ’ is likely, 'they cannot’.

Regarding “On-Prem” questions, The connector used to allow Infinity 24 customers to use GenAI is called GenAI PremBridge ..

As suggested previously I recommend that you call the Sales team to discuss things further.

@ASHOKKUMAR You can only use Knowledge Buddy, and within Buddy Application: 24.1+ & Buddy Gadget: 24.1+ & 8.7+

Moreover Blueprint, Coach & Autopilot requires Constellation.
