AI integration has become so common, some people use AI every day without even realizing it. While AI use is simple, embedding it into your workflows can be challenging. Microsoft’s AI Builder allows organizations of all sizes to embed AI into their workflows without writing a single line of code. Whether you’re in IT, development, or business operations, AI Builder empowers teams to automate processes, extract insights, and make smarter decisions faster. The best part is that it’s built right into the Microsoft Power Platform.
What Is Microsoft’s AI Builder?
AI Builder is a feature within the Microsoft Power Platform that allows you to create, train, and use AI models directly inside your apps and workflows. It provides prebuilt models for common scenarios like form processing, object detection, sentiment analysis, and prediction. If you prefer to build your own custom model, you can create one tailored to your business needs.
The process is simple:
- Choose a model type from a library of ready-to-use AI templates.
- Connect your data by feeding in relevant data from your business.
- Tailor and train your model to fit your use case.
- Deploy by embedding AI insights into Power Apps and Power Automate to solve real-world problems.
This puts the power of Azure Cognitive Services and machine learning directly in the hands of your teams.

How Dev and IT Teams Can Use the Power Platform
The real strength of AI Builder is how seamlessly it integrates with Power Apps and Power Automate. Here are some practical ways development and IT teams are using it:
- Document Processing
Use AI Builder with Power Automate templates to extract data from invoices, emails, and forms. Attachments can automatically flow into AI models for processing, with alerts triggered in real-time. - Predictive Insights
Build models that predict supplier compliance risks, customer churn, or equipment maintenance needs. Then integrate the predictions directly into business apps. - Image & Object Recognition
Train AI to recognize your products or detect anomalies in images, then use the insights in field service or quality control apps.
- Workflow Automation
Combine AI Builder with automation to route tickets, flag exceptions, or send real-time notifications. This saves IT and Dev teams countless hours.
Most importantly, these solutions are accessible to non-developers, while still offering powerful extensibility for IT professionals who want to integrate with broader enterprise systems.
