AI Builder – Connect, Code & Grow

In today’s dynamic digital economy, organizations are constantly seeking smarter ways to automate tasks, gain insights from data, and scale faster—without being slowed down by complex development cycles. Microsoft AI Builder, a low-code AI capability built into the Power Platform, empowers businesses to connect data, code smarter, and grow faster by seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence into apps and workflows.

Let’s explore how AI Builder makes it possible to Connect, Code, and Grow—whether you’re a developer, business user, or IT decision-maker.

Connect: Unleashing the Power of Your Data

Every organization sits on a wealth of untapped data across emails, documents, images, forms, and conversations. AI Builder connects your data with intelligence—bridging your existing infrastructure with AI capabilities, without needing extensive data science expertise.

Key Features of Data Connection with AI Builder:

• Seamless Integration: Use AI models in Power Apps, Power Automate, Dynamics 365, or even Teams, connecting to data sources like Dataverse, SharePoint, Outlook, Excel, and third-party APIs.
• Prebuilt AI Models: Jumpstart productivity with ready-to-use models for invoice processing, business card reader, category classification, and form processing.
• Custom AI Models: Train custom models on your own datasets for unique use cases such as predicting churn, detecting anomalies, or extracting data from complex documents.

Real-World Example: A logistics firm connected invoice PDFs in SharePoint to AI Builder’s document processing model to automatically extract key fields—saving hours in manual data entry.

Code: Build Smart Apps Faster (Low-Code to Pro-Code)

AI Builder embraces a low-code ethos but offers flexibility for professional developers too. Whether you’re dragging-and-dropping AI components into an app or integrating AI models into custom APIs, the platform scales with your needs.

Ways to Use AI in Code:

• Power Apps + AI Builder: Add intelligent features like image recognition or language detection directly into your canvas apps.
• Power Automate Flows: Use AI models as steps in automated workflows—e.g., trigger an alert when a sentiment analysis model detects negative customer feedback.
• Custom Connectors & Azure AI: Developers can go further by integrating Azure AI services or writing custom logic using AI Builder outputs.

Pro Tip: Combine AI Builder with Power Fx and Power Automate expressions to build context-aware, intelligent apps without writing full-scale codebases.

Grow: Drive Innovation and Business Value

The real value of AI Builder is in how it accelerates business outcomes. By reducing dependency on complex AI development cycles and enabling rapid prototyping, AI Builder empowers organizations to innovate at speed.

Growth Benefits:

• Faster Time to Market: Launch AI-powered solutions in days, not months.
• Cost Efficiency: Save on hiring specialized AI engineers for simple use cases.
• Scalable Intelligence: As your business grows, AI Builder can scale across departments and scenarios—from marketing and finance to HR and customer service.
