Understanding AI Builder

AI Builder is a low-code platform within the Microsoft Power Platform designed to empower businesses to create and implement AI models tailored to specific needs. It enables organizations to incorporate AI-driven capabilities without requiring extensive technical expertise. By leveraging this tool, businesses can streamline operations, automate processes, and make data-driven decisions with ease.

Key tasks enhanced by AI Builder

AI Builder transforms various business processes by offering robust features, including:

  • Form Processing:Extract and process data from forms, reducing manual data entry.
  • Object Detection:Identify objects in images to automate tasks like inventory tracking.
  • Prediction: Analyze historical data to make accurate forecasts.
  • Text Classification:Categorize and analyze text data for better insights.

Seamless integration with Power Automate allows businesses to leverage these capabilities to automate repetitive tasks, improve accuracy, and extract actionable insights from data.

Steps to integrate AI Builder with Power Automate

Integrating AI Builder with Power Automate is straightforward, ensuring that even users with minimal technical expertise can benefit. The process can be divided into three stages:

1. Adding the AI Builder Action

  • Log in to your Power Automate account and create a new flow.
  • Search for “AI Builder Action” in the actions list and add it to your flow.
  • Select an appropriate AI Builder model based on your requirements.
  • Configure additional settings or parameters if needed.
  • Save and test the action to ensure it meets performance expectations.

2. Selecting the AI Model

  • Access the AI Builder platform through Power Automate.
  • Click the “Create” button to build a new flow.

3. Mapping Inputs and Outputs

Accurate mapping of inputs and outputs ensures the AI model receives the required data and delivers precise predictions:

  • Define the necessary inputs (e.g., text, images, or data fields).
  • Map these inputs to their corresponding fields in your application.
  • Specify the outputs you expect the model to generate.
  • Map these outputs to appropriate fields in your system.

Benefits of integrating AI Builder with Power Automate

By combining AI Builder with Power Automate, businesses can gain several advantages:

  • Automation of Repetitive Tasks: Streamline processes like data extraction and form filling, minimizing manual effort and errors.
