AI Builder in your Power Apps

With AI Builder, you can now add intelligence into your applications; with functionality such as image recognition or prediction models without requiring a data science degree or knowledge of advanced linear algebra. Using Microsoft's framework, building your AI Model is now infinitely easier, shaving time off training and configuring your model with a very rigid step by step process (wizard-based interface).

Again, AI Builder just like the rest of the Power Platform doesn't require any code for you to utilise Machine Learning; instead you can take advantage of pre-built infrastructure or even custom build your own AI from scratch. This means you can quickly implement Azure Machine Learning and Cognitive Services into your application on Day 1!

Business Card Reader

One ready to use out-of-the-box AI component is the business card reader. This AI component first uses object detection/classification when reviewing a photo determine if it is a business card and if so, then proceeds to utilise OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the information from the business card.

This model therefore can easily automate a system to process hundreds and thousands of business cards to obtain business contact information that can be stored elsewhere, removing the need for a human operator to manually read through and input this info into a registry. Implementing and building custom models is thereby made easy, with a wizard to guide through all the steps from building to training and finally implementing the model into your Power App.
