Exploring the AI Builder

AI Builder is a tool by Microsoft Power Platform that helps your business work smarter. It allows you to use smart features in Power Apps and Power Automate without needing to know how to code. With AI Builder, you can either pick a ready-made smart feature or make one just right for you.

AI Builder has different AI options for different jobs. Here’s what you can do:

• To recognize products in pictures, make your own AI tool with the object detection option.
• To quickly handle expense reports by scanning receipts, use the ready-made receipt scanner.
• To plan a marketing strategy using your old data, create a custom prediction tool.

There are two model choices you can pick from:

1. Pre-built AI models
2. Custom AI models.

Pre-built AI models

AI Builder has ready-made tools that let you make your apps and tasks smarter without needing to create your own from scratch. For instance:

Custom AI models

Custom AI model refers to a tailor-made artificial intelligence solution that users can develop to meet specific business needs using AI Builder.

Tool Name	Description
Prediction model	AI Builder’s prediction tools study trends in old data you give. They learn how these trends link to results. Then, using AI, they spot these trends in fresh data to guess what might happen next.
Category Classification	Category classification is a basic task in understanding language (NLP). It lets you label text for purposes such as: Checking feelings in text 1. Finding spam 2. Directing customer queries 3. Other business needs
Entity extraction	This can help you transform unstructured data into structured data that’s machine-readable. You can then apply processing to retrieve information, extract facts, and answer questions.
Object detection	Object detection can speed up or make business tasks automatic. In stores, it can make managing stock easier, so store managers can spend more time with customers.
Document processing	Document processing allows you to gather and store details from common papers like bills or tax forms. By using Power Automate and Power Apps to automate this, you can quickly sort, pull out, and save this information without manual effort.
