Continia AI capabilities
Continia Suite offers a set of AI-powered features capable of automating common but time-consuming tasks.
Although Continia has offered AI-based functionality for years, such as enhanced line recognition and receipt scanning, Continia itself doesn't provide the models required to run the generative AI capabilities mentioned in this article. Before you can activate and use these capabilities, you must connect an AI provider to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Important
AI can make mistakes. Always double check AI-generated values and carefully scrutinize any high-stakes output.

- Go through the assisted setup guide, making sure to read Continia's terms of use and privacy statement – as well as the AI provider's terms of service. Depending on the selected AI provider, you need to enter different credentials.

The costs and performance of different AI providers and different models can vary significantly. Before activating a capability, make sure you understand your AI provider's pricing structure.
To see the history of an AI capability
Each activated capability produces a log listing every run, including the provider and model used, the start and end times, and the number of tokens used.
- Search () for and select Continia AI Capabilities.
- Select the desired capability and, on the action bar, click History > Runs.
Important
Due to the many variables involved in the cost of tokens across different providers and models, the cost of each run can only be tracked on the account page of your AI provider. Additionally, usage is billed by your AI provider – not by Continia.
