Empowering Azure using AI Builder

Introduction

AI Builder is a Low code, no code feature in Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) that allows you to add artificial intelligence capabilities to your apps and workflows without the need for extensive coding or data science expertise. AI Builder offers a set of prebuilt AI models that can be easily integrated into your Power Apps and Power Automate solutions, enabling you to leverage AI functionality to automate tasks, make data-driven decisions, and enhance user experiences.

AI builder is in Power Apps and Power Automate

AI builder is available in PowerApps and Power Automate, which would be leveraging Artificial intelligence and Machine learning technologies. Whether you are a business expert or an experienced AI developer, AI Builder is providing a way that intuitively trains AI solutions for the app makers and easily incorporates them into your workflows and the application. It leverages over 230 connectors that are available to onboard the business criticality data that are loaded from external sources.

AI builder in Power Automate is available with the option to integrate your AI with the workflows. You will be adding in the AI ideas inside the power automate and build a model based on the ideas that you require.

Various models Provided by AI Builder

AI Builder allows you to choose from several model types that are suited to different business scenarios. You can either choose a Custom AI builder or a prebuilt AI builder based on your choice.

With a Custom AI builder, you can refine a custom AI Builder object detection model for examples like image prediction. With a customizable model, you'll build, train, and publish it for your intended use.

With a Prebuilt AI builder, you can use a prebuilt AI Builder receipt scanning model for examples like scanning and processing business receipts. All prebuilt models allow you to go straight to productivity.

Few AI Builder Models

AI Builder provides the following AI models:

Document \ Form Processing: This model allows you to extract information from documents, such as invoices, receipts, and forms, using optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. You can use images or PDFs of your documents to train your model, but text-embedded PDFs will provide the best results. Images should be as high-quality as possible to avoid any issues in detecting text.

 

Object Detection: With this model, you can build applications that can recognize and identify objects within images. It is useful for scenarios like inventory management and object identification.

Recognize Text Classification: The text classification model enables you to categorize and tag text-based data automatically. For example, you can use it to analyze support tickets and automatically assign categories. These are used in different scenarios of the identification of the text, like assisted typing and automated data entry, etc.

  

Business Card Reader: This model extracts contact information, such as name, email, and phone number, from business cards and stores it in your app.

Language Detection: The language detection model can automatically identify the language used in a text, which is valuable for multilingual applications.

Sentiment Analysis: This model determines the sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) expressed in a piece of text, such as customer feedback or social media comments. Creating text with GPT is one of the new features that has been popular, from which you can use the models that are useful for you.

How to get the AI builder License?

When you use the PowerApps and Power Automate, you have around 30 days of the free version that is available for you to try the trial version and get started with the AI builder and learn how it works and play around with that. At the end of the free trial, you can log in to the PowerApps portal  (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/) and check for the licensing part. If you are using the power automate, then you can use the Power Automate (https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/)

Conclusion

By incorporating AI Builder into your Power Apps and Power Automate solutions, you can enhance automation, decision-making, and data analysis within your applications. AI Builder is available in certain Power Apps and Power Automate plans, and there might be some limitations or restrictions based on the plan you are using. AI builder, overall, provides you and your organization with a tool that would help you to build models based on your need within a quick time. It is suitable for people who are experts in AI and machine learning also. It is suitable for people who don't have knowledge of Artificial intelligence and Machine learning. AI Builder provides you with prebuilt models from which you can pick up and start working easily.
