AI Function tasks for jobs
BetaLast seen at this status: 2026-11-04·6d ago
A Lakeflow Jobs task type that runs ai_parse_document, ai_extract or ai_classify on every file in a Unity Catalog volume or every row of a table without writing SQL. Each run processes only the inputs that were added, changed or deleted since the previous run and writes one result per file or row to a Unity Catalog table that later tasks can read. In Beta since November 4, 2026; a workspace admin turns on Lakeflow AI Function Task from the Previews page.
