Microsoft Syntex is a Microsoft 365 service that helps organizations to:

Use advanced AI and machine teaching and learning to amplify human experiences
Automate content processing
Transform content into knowledge

The resources on this page are designed to get you started with learning about and using Syntex in your organization.

Get started

The resources in this section help you learn more about the methods of data classification and extraction used by Syntex. There are two custom model types—document understanding and form processing—and a prebuilt model type.

Note

You can get started with Syntex without buying licenses by creating a content center from the SharePoint admin center. Unlicensed users can create document understanding models but can't apply them to a document library.
