Introduction to AI Builder

Welcome to AI Builder. This self-paced module will help you build an AI model from the beginning and will show you how to use it in your business without writing a single line of code.

AI Builder is a Microsoft Power Platform capability that helps you improve your business performance by automating processes and predicting outcomes. By using AI Builder, you can quickly bring AI to your apps and flows that connect to your business data that is stored in the underlying data platform (Microsoft Dataverse) or in various cloud data sources, such as SharePoint, OneDrive, or Azure.
