Important
The 2023 release wave 2 plan covers all new functionalities planned to be delivered to market from October 2023 to March 2024. In this article, you'll find the product overview and what's new and planned for AI Builder.
Overview
AI Builder allows citizen developers to use, customize, and govern AI models across their organization with a no-code configuration engine. By using AI models, you can build more powerful applications and automate workflows that previously required human intervention–reducing errors and saving time in the process. Azure AI backs the capabilities in AI Builder, which allows you to process documents, text, images, and generate predictions from structured data. If you have in-house AI models built by data scientists, you can import them into AI Builder to make them accessible for their citizen makers in Power Platform.
A key point of focus is facilitating document and email processing with integrated solutions powered by GPT. AI Builder already integrates with GPT to allow you to automate content extraction, text classification, and content generation. You're provided tools like a human validation station to simplify how you can review and edit content that's processed and generated by AI. We've expanded the breadth of prebuilt scenarios for document processing that are supported by AI by integrating new pre-trained model capabilities for contract processing, tax form processing, document classification, document translation, and personally identifiable information. GPT is enabled for you to use for document processing and email processing scenarios with easily accessible off-the-shelf solutions. In terms of governance and administration, you can move trainable models across environments for added flexibility in deploying models across the enterprise. In addition, we support model versioning so that you can improve model performance in an iterative approach.

Investment areas
Extend copilot capabilities with AI
Copilots make business users more productive and satisfied at work. But to truly revolutionize the workplace, copilots need 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. Your copilot includes conversational responses, which you can use as a starting point for further development. For example, makers can add Dataverse data records to their GPT prompts, allowing users to get insights. In addition, you can interact with documents directly from copilot, 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
New capabilities for intelligent document processing allow you to process a broader range of document types with increased accuracy.
Prompt builder
Prompt builder is AI Builder's new interface that allows you to build, test, and deploy generative AI prompts for large language models (LLMs). Prompts are a set of instructions that are sent to Generative AI models to accomplish a task. You can use prompts to perform a wide range of scenarios, like content generation, content classification, insight generation, or information extraction.
Once you create a prompt, you can use it across multiple Power Platform products to invoke generative AI capabilities in every business solution that you are building, whether it's a copilot, an app, a flow, or a Microsoft Dataverse table. Prompts are also solution-aware components and can be triggered with Power Fx expressions. This allows you to reuse and deploy them across your different low-code components.
