Integrating AI Builder

Power Platform is not just a set of low-code tools for automation and rapid app development using low-code tools. In this chapter, we’re going to learn about AI Builder, a component of Power Platform that helps us add AI capabilities to Power Automate and Power Apps. We can integrate Power Automate flows and Power Apps with AI Builder and use its pre-trained models, which recognize patterns or classify data, to help us speed up and automate repetitive or manual processes.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • AI Builder models
  • Adding AI Builder image recognition to Power Automate
  • Adding AI Builder image recognition to a Power App

Let’s dive into AI Builder and learn about its models!
