Plan and prepare for AI Builder in 2024 release wave 2

Overview

AI Builder is a low-code AI platform that you can use to customize the latest AI models from Azure AI. With AI Builder, you can build intelligent business solutions across Power Platform. AI Builder gives you access to the latest Azure AI capabilities, including GPT and document intelligence. You access these capabilities through a form factor that's easy for citizen developers to use. It follows responsible AI principles and includes enterprise-grade governance and security.

As part of 2024 release wave 2, AI Builder investments focus on the following themes:

• Generative AI prompts: Use AI prompts to create advanced AI actions that you can use across copilots, apps built in Power Apps, and Power Automate flows. New investments include support for the latest large language models, extended grounding data sources to unstructured data, support for multimodal inputs (documents and images), and extended output possibilities (documents and cards).
• Prompt catalog: Share and reuse prompts across your organization with new prompt template sets.
• AI governance: Control which AI capabilities makers can access across environments.

Updates to AI Builder 2024 release wave 2

Investment areas

Intelligent document and email processing
Documents can be structured, like invoices, or unstructured, like resumes. Automating data extraction from documents speeds up tedious manual processes and reduces the risk of errors. With AI Builder, an AI model extracts content through a controlled process where you specify which fields to capture. You refine the system with feedback and human review for quality assurance.

As AI capabilities advance, customizing an AI model to understand specific documents becomes easier. AI Builder simplifies setting up intelligent document processing pipelines by providing the best and latest document processing models from Azure AI. It also reduces the need for model training by using generative AI capabilities.

Prompt builder
Prompt builder is AI Builder's new interface that you use to build, test, and deploy generative AI prompts for large language models. Prompts are instructions that you send to generative AI models to accomplish a task. Use prompts to perform a wide range of scenarios, like content generation, content classification, insight generation, or information extraction.

When you create a prompt, use it across multiple Power Platform products to bring generative AI capabilities to every business solution you build, whether it's a copilot, an app, a flow, or a Microsoft Dataverse table. Prompts are also solution-aware components that Power Fx expressions trigger. With this approach, you can reuse and deploy prompts across your different low-code components.
