Plan and prepare for AI Builder in 2025 release wave 1

Important

The 2025 release wave 1 plan covers new features coming from April 2025 to September 2025. For AI Builder, see the product overview and the new and planned features.

Overview

The latest AI Builder release enhances content and decision intelligence with advanced capabilities in document processing and prompt engineering that are integrated in Copilot Studio. The document processing agent streamlines content intelligence by providing a ready-to-use data agent specialized in document processing. With this agent, you can monitor, validate, and control your document processing workflows at scale. Advanced capabilities in the prompt builder give you new tools to extend and customize AI actions. New features include the ability to diversify the sets of inputs and data sources that maker prompts can process. In addition, you can generate diverse content types, including documents, going beyond text and JSON formatting.

Updates to AI Builder 2025 release wave 1

Investment areas

AI governance and administration
Governance and administration cover the key sets of themes that allow admins to deploy and monitor AI activities:

• Capacity management
• Usage monitoring
• Application lifecycle management
• Access control
• Sharing and deploying AI models and prompts

Build intelligent solutions with AI capabilities
This area covers all AI model capabilities that new makers can use to build more intelligent solutions with AI. It includes expanding the breadth of AI capabilities and the integration surfaces across Microsoft where AI Builder is available.

Extend copilot capabilities with AI
Copilot makes business users more productive and satisfied at work. To truly revolutionize the workplace, Copilot needs to operate in the specific context of each enterprise.

You can author topics using natural language to describe what you want your topic to do. Copilot includes conversational responses, which you can use as a starting point for further development. For example, you can add Dataverse data records to your GPT prompts, so users can get insights. You can interact with documents directly from copilot tools, which gives you the ability to quickly extract key learning points from documents. It also generates new document templates to enhance productivity.

Intelligent document and email processing
Documents can be structured, like invoices, or unstructured, like resumes. Automating data extraction from documents can speed up tedious manual processes and reduce 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 for 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. Use the prompt with a copilot, an app, a flow, or a Microsoft Dataverse table. Prompts are also solution-aware components that trigger with Power Fx expressions. With this approach, you can reuse and deploy prompts across your different low-code components.
