Artificial intelligence (AI) based automatic rule generation

An AI-based rule generation system generates an ontology from user-provided information and further enables generating rules that govern processes via drag-and-drop operations by automatically generating code in the backend. The rule generation system after generating the ontology, provides access to the entities of the ontology via a drag-and-drop GUI which also includes operators required to generate the rules. The user can drag-and-drop the entity elements and the operator elements as needed onto a whitespace in addition to providing the requisite values in order to generate a rule flow. The rule flow is validated and published to an execution server for use by downstream processes. The rule generation system further includes custom functions in addition to enabling distributed knowledge base processes for generating the rules.
