How AI is Transforming the Microsoft Power Platform

The AI revolution is underfoot, and with the technology becoming increasingly advanced, more organisations, especially those engaging with Managed IT services, are focusing on AI tools. Microsoft, an industry leader in Cloud Computing, isn't lagging behind. The focus on AI in 2023 has seen Microsoft infuse its products with the immense power of generative AI.

The robust AI implementations within Microsoft’s Power Platform — a suite designed for businesses — are a testament to this shift. AI Builder, a vital feature of the Power Platform, is making the platform more potent than ever.

What is AI Builder?

AI Builder is a feature of the Power Platform aimed at streamlining your business processes. By utilising AI-powered tools, you can boost the efficiency of your business operations by automating processes and deriving insights from your data, a vital aspect of effective Cybersecurity and network security strategies.

The magic of AI Builder is that it allows all of this without requiring coding or data science skills. This means you can craft the tools your business needs, either with custom functionality or by leveraging one of the prebuilt models designed with typical business scenarios in mind. As a provider of Managed IT Services, ACS knows the power this tool will give to SMEs.

AI Builder in Microsoft Power Apps

AI Builder finds its application in Microsoft Power Apps in two primary ways. You can either use prebuilt AI models in the formula bar or add AI Builder components to your Power Apps. These tools can be game-changers for your organisation, enabling capabilities from information extraction and form processing to object detection and even prediction.

Moreover, Power Apps now boasts of GPT-enabled data exploration, further strengthening the suite of business intelligence tools at your disposal.

AI Builder in Microsoft Power Automate

In the world of Managed IT, automation and AI are synonymous. Microsoft Power Automate takes full advantage of AI Builder, employing pre-built AI models that can automate human tasks such as translation and text recognition, while also enhancing the suite's Cybersecurity capabilities.

Conversation Booster in Microsoft Power Virtual Agents

The AI transformation extends to Microsoft Power Virtual Agents as well, where the Conversation Booster feature is enhancing chatbot technology. With generative AI capabilities, your chatbots can utilise resources from within your organisation, such as SharePoint and OneDrive, to deliver more accurate responses to customer queries.
