This whitepaper from Innovatix Technology Partners provides a comprehensive guide to understanding how AI Builder works, what types of AI models it offers, and how it can be applied to real business scenarios across industries.

By downloading this paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into:

• How AI Builder integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Power Automate.
• The distinction between pre-built and custom AI models.
• Real-world examples of AI-driven process automation.
• How mid-sized businesses can achieve hyperautomation.
• Why Innovatix recommends AI Builder as a cornerstone for digital transformation.

 

Introducing Microsoft Power Automate AI Builder

AI Builder extends Power Automate’s capabilities by embedding intelligence directly into automated workflows. It allows organizations to automate not just repetitive tasks, but also those requiring analysis, recognition, or prediction — traditionally tasks reserved for data scientists or developers.

Through an intuitive point-and-click interface, users can access pre-built AI models or create custom ones tailored to their business data. AI Builder integrates seamlessly into Power Automate flows, Power Apps, and even Dynamics 365, transforming simple automations into smart, adaptive systems.

With AI Builder, business users can:

• Analyze and understand text using language models.
• Recognize and extract information from documents and images.
• Predict outcomes based on historical data.
• Detect, count, or classify objects in images.
• Extract key details from forms or receipts.

In essence, AI Builder democratizes AI — making it accessible to everyone.

 

Why Innovatix Focuses on Power Automate and AI Builder

At Innovatix Technology Partners, a Macrosoft Inc. company, we have worked extensively with Microsoft Power Platform tools — including Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI — to build intelligent business solutions.

Our teams have delivered numerous Proof of Concepts (POCs) and enterprise implementations where AI Builder played a crucial role in automating decision-driven workflows.

This whitepaper is part of our ongoing thought leadership series on Microsoft Power Automate. Each paper in this series explores a major feature or capability — from AI integration to real-world automation case studies — demonstrating how these technologies can accelerate digital transformation for businesses of all sizes.

 

Overview: What Is AI Builder?

AI Builder is Microsoft’s low-code/no-code platform for integrating AI capabilities into automation. It simplifies the use of machine learning and AI by offering:

• Pre-built models that are ready to use immediately.
• Custom models that can be trained on your own data to meet unique business needs.

Unlike traditional AI development that requires deep data science expertise, AI Builder operates within the familiar Microsoft ecosystem. Users simply connect their data, select a model, train it (if needed), and embed it into their workflows — all within minutes.

The Two Pillars of AI Builder:

1. Pre-Built Models:
   Ready-to-use AI components designed for common business tasks such as form processing, sentiment analysis, language translation, or object detection.
2. Custom Models:
   Tailored AI models that businesses can train using their own data to address specific challenges — such as predicting sales performance or categorizing unique document types.

 

AI Builder Capabilities: Turning Data into Action

AI Builder provides a suite of model types categorized under Text, Vision, and Prediction capabilities. Let’s explore what these models can do and where they add the most business value.

1. Text Analysis and Understanding

AI Builder can process and analyze large volumes of text using natural language processing (NLP).
Key functions include:

• Language Detection: Identify the language of incoming text data automatically.
• Sentiment Analysis: Understand customer feedback and detect emotions or satisfaction levels.
• Key Phrase Extraction: Extract the most important terms or topics from textual content.
• Text Classification: Categorize messages or documents based on content.

Example:
A customer service department can automatically classify and route customer emails based on sentiment and topic, ensuring faster response and better prioritization.

 

2. Prediction Models

AI Builder’s prediction models analyze historical data to forecast outcomes or events.
Businesses can use these models to answer questions such as:

• “Will a customer renew their subscription?”
• “Is this loan application likely to be approved?”
• “Will this product be out of stock next week?”

Example:
Banks can use prediction models to determine the probability of loan defaults based on applicant history and external factors, improving lending accuracy.

 

3. Object Detection

With object detection, AI Builder can identify, locate, and count specific items within images.
Common use cases include:

• Counting people entering a retail store.
• Detecting damaged parts in a manufacturing line.
• Identifying product placements on shelves.

Example:
Retailers can use object detection to monitor compliance with in-store display standards or track real-time occupancy limits.

 

4. Form Processing and Document Understanding

AI Builder automates data extraction from structured or semi-structured documents. It reads invoices, receipts, or application forms and captures key details automatically.

Example:
An HR department can use form processing to digitize and extract data from job application forms, significantly reducing manual data entry effort.

 

5. Entity Extraction

Entity extraction identifies specific entities such as names, locations, dates, or product types from large text datasets.

Example:
A logistics company can extract destination cities from hundreds of shipment records to optimize route planning.

 

How AI Builder Works

The simplicity of AI Builder lies in its guided workflow.
Users typically follow these five steps to embed AI into business automation:

1. Choose an AI Model Type – Select from a growing list of pre-built or custom models suited to your need.
2. Connect Data Sources – Import structured or unstructured data from Excel, Dataverse, SharePoint, or SQL databases.
3. Tailor and Configure the Model – Adjust fields, labels, or parameters to align the model with business context.
4. Train and Validate the Model – The system automatically learns from the provided data to improve accuracy.
5. Use Insights in Power Automate – Integrate AI-generated predictions, classifications, or detections directly into your workflows.

This streamlined approach ensures that even users with minimal technical expertise can build sophisticated AI-driven automation systems.
