Learn how Microsoft AI Builder works, its AI models, business use cases, prompts, and how organizations can integrate AI with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform.

Introduction

Microsoft AI Builder brings AI capabilities into Microsoft Power Platform without requiring organizations to build every AI solution from scratch. It provides prebuilt and custom AI models that can process documents, analyze text, recognize images, make predictions, and generate useful outputs for business processes.

Because AI Builder works with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse, organizations can embed AI into applications and workflows they already use. This makes it particularly relevant for businesses looking to automate repetitive work while keeping AI connected to operational data.

Key Takeaways

• Microsoft AI Builder provides prebuilt and custom AI capabilities.
• AI models can process documents, text, images, and structured data.
• AI Builder prompts can work with business-specific information.
• Power Apps and Power Automate make it possible to use AI outputs in business processes.
• Data quality, governance, security, licensing, and model performance should be considered before deployment.
• AI Builder can extend Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions with practical automation.

What Is Microsoft AI Builder?

AI Builder is a low-code AI capability within Microsoft Power Platform. It enables users to create or use AI models without requiring advanced programming or data science skills.

Businesses can choose between prebuilt models and custom models.

Prebuilt models are designed for common scenarios such as invoice processing, receipt processing, sentiment analysis, text recognition, language detection, entity extraction, and translation.

Custom models allow organizations to train AI against their own business data for scenarios such as prediction, document processing, category classification, entity extraction, and object detection.

The distinction is important. A prebuilt model can accelerate a common requirement, while a custom model is more appropriate when the business process depends on organization-specific data or rules.

How Does AI Builder Work?

The AI Builder process generally follows a simple lifecycle:

1. Identify the business scenario: Determine which manual or repetitive task could benefit from AI.
2. Select the model: Choose an appropriate prebuilt model or create a custom model.
3. Connect the data: Provide the documents, text, images, or structured information required.
4. Train and evaluate: Custom models are trained and evaluated before deployment.
5. Publish the model: Make the approved model available for business use.
6. Connect it to a process: Use the model through Power Apps or Power Automate.

This approach allows organizations to start with a focused use case instead of attempting a large-scale AI transformation immediately.

For companies already investing in Power Platform consulting, AI Builder can therefore become another capability within the broader application and automation strategy.

What AI Models Does AI Builder Support?

AI Builder covers several categories of business requirements.

Document Intelligence

Document processing can extract information from business documents and reduce manual data entry. Invoice processing, receipt processing, contract processing, business card reading, and ID recognition are examples of scenarios supported through AI capabilities.

Consider an accounts payable process. Instead of asking an employee to manually read every invoice and enter supplier, amount, and invoice information, an AI model can extract relevant fields and pass them into an automated approval workflow.

Text Analysis

AI Builder can analyze text for sentiment, categories, entities, key phrases, language, and other characteristics.

A customer service organization, for example, could classify incoming messages before routing them to the appropriate team. Sales teams could also use AI to summarize or categorize information associated with customer interactions.

When these capabilities are incorporated into Dynamics 365 CRM thru Dynamics CRM development services, AI can become part of the CRM workflow rather than remaining a separate experiment. This allows organizations to connect AI Builder with existing CRM processes, data, and automation.

Prediction and Image Processing

Custom prediction models can identify patterns in structured data. Image-based capabilities can support object detection and text recognition.

The best use case depends on the business problem. AI should be introduced where its output can reduce manual effort, improve consistency, or help employees make better decisions.

How Do AI Builder Prompts Work?

AI Builder also supports prompts that allow users to instruct generative AI to perform specific tasks.

A prompt can contain an instruction, business context, and inputs such as text, documents, or images. Supported business data can also be used to ground responses.

For example, a business could create a prompt that summarizes an account record, classifies an incoming message, extracts information from a document, or prepares structured output for a workflow.

AI Builder supports JSON output for scenarios where individual values need to be passed into subsequent actions. This is particularly useful when an AI response needs to trigger several downstream steps.

Power Platform development services can help organizations connect AI Builder prompts with Power Apps, Dataverse data, Power Automate workflows, and existing business systems.

What Are the Business Benefits of AI Builder?

AI Builder can provide value in several areas:

Reduced manual work: Repetitive document and text processing can be automated.

Faster processing: AI can extract and classify information without requiring employees to review every item manually.

Better consistency: Automated processing can reduce variations caused by manual data entry.

Connected automation: AI results can trigger actions through Power Automate.

Improved applications: Power Apps can use AI capabilities directly within business applications.

Accessible AI: Low-code tools make AI more approachable for business and technical teams.

However, AI Builder should not be viewed simply as an automation shortcut. The quality of the underlying process and data still determines how valuable the resulting solution will be.

What Should You Consider Before Implementing AI Builder?

A successful AI implementation requires more than selecting a model.

Data Quality

Custom models depend on suitable training data. Inconsistent, incomplete, or poorly structured information can affect model performance.

Security and Governance

Organizations should define who can access models, prompts, applications, and underlying business data. Dataverse security, environment management, and data loss prevention policies should be considered as part of the architecture.

Performance

Custom models should be evaluated before being introduced into critical processes. Organizations should also monitor results and retrain models where supported as business data changes.

Licensing and Capacity

AI Builder usage involves capacity and credit considerations. Organizations should understand consumption requirements before moving a solution into production.

Scalability

A model that works for a small departmental process may require additional architecture when deployed across multiple teams or environments.

For organizations managing larger CRM environments, Dynamics 365 professional services can help address the wider application, integration, and implementation considerations surrounding AI adoption.

How Can AI Builder Work With Dynamics 365?

One of the strongest opportunities is connecting AI capabilities with existing Dynamics 365 processes.

For example, AI could process information arriving through email, classify customer requests, summarize records, extract information from documents, or trigger automated actions based on business conditions.

A sales team could use AI to process customer information while a service team could classify incoming requests. Operations teams could also connect AI-powered workflows to process project information, automate administrative tasks, and support processes within Dynamics 365 project operations.

This creates a broader model of AI adoption where intelligence becomes part of existing business applications rather than another standalone tool.

Organizations with limited internal technical capacity may also evaluate Power Platform outsourcing when they need specialized expertise for development, integration, or ongoing enhancement.

When Should a Business Use AI Builder?

AI Builder is particularly useful when:

• A process involves large volumes of repetitive information.
• Employees spend significant time reading or entering documents.
• Text needs to be classified, summarized, or analyzed.
• Existing Power Apps or Power Automate solutions could benefit from AI.
• The organization wants to introduce AI incrementally.
• Business data already exists in Dataverse or connected systems.

It may not be the right solution for every AI requirement. Highly specialized machine learning scenarios, extremely complex data science requirements, or use cases requiring extensive custom infrastructure may require other technologies.

The decision should therefore be based on the business requirement rather than the availability of a particular AI feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AI Builder require Dataverse?

AI Builder relies on Microsoft Power Platform capabilities and many scenarios require Dataverse. The exact requirements depend on the model and implementation scenario.

Is AI Builder suitable for enterprise AI projects?

AI Builder can be suitable for enterprise scenarios, particularly where organizations want to embed AI into Power Platform and Dynamics 365 processes. Enterprise deployments should include appropriate governance, security, capacity planning, and lifecycle management.

Bringing AI Builder Into Real Business Processes

Microsoft AI Builder provides a practical way to introduce AI into everyday business processes. Its combination of prebuilt models, custom models, prompts, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse allows organizations to move from isolated AI experiments toward connected business automation.

The real value comes from identifying the right process, preparing reliable data, and integrating AI into the systems employees already use.

For organizations that need additional expertise, Inogic can help connect AI Builder with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions, from implementation and customization to broader development requirements. Depending on the project, organizations may partner with a Power Platform outsource company for end-to-end expertise or choose a specialized Power Platform outsource service to handle specific development, integration, or support requirements.

The goal is not simply to add AI. It is to make existing business processes more intelligent, connected, and efficient.

In my earlier articles, I had explained about,

What is Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter – Tool

How to use Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter Tool

and now in this article, I explain about how to retrieve the data using JS and FetchXML using Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter Tool.

Requirement: Retrieve all the Active Contacts created in last 1 hour.

Solution: Follow the below steps.

Step 1: Below is the JavaScript code (Without FetchXML), to fetch all the Active contacts created in last 1 hour.

Step 2: Copy and Paste the JS code into the fetchXML variable (FetchXML sample is from my previous article Step 5 in Explore Dataverse Tools: FetchXML Formatter Online by Arun Potti – Usage).

After updating it, the final JavaScript looks like the below.

async function getContacts() {
    try {
        // Use with Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords or equivalent.
        const fetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>" +
            "  <entity name='contact'>" +
            "    <attribute name='fullname'/>" +
            "    <attribute name='address1_composite'/>" +
            "    <attribute name='mobilephone'/>" +
            "    <attribute name='birthdate'/>" +
            "    <attribute name='contactid'/>" +
            "    <order attribute='fullname' descending='false'/>" +
            "    <filter type='and'>" +
            "      <condition attribute='createdon' operator='last-x-hours' value='1'/>" +
            "      <condition attribute='statecode' operator='eq' value='0'/>" +
            "    </filter>" +
            "  </entity>" +
            "</fetch>";
        const encoded = encodeURIComponent(fetchXml);
        const response = await Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords(
            "contact",
            "?fetchXml=" + encoded
        );
        console.log("All Active Contacts created in last 1 hour");
        response.entities.forEach(cnt => {
            console.log(`Contact: ${cnt.fullname} (${cnt.contactid})`);
        });
    } catch (err) {
        console.error("Error while fetching the Contacts in getContacts(): ", err);
    }
}

Step 3: Configured the below Script on On Load of Contact Form.

Step 4: Open any Contact record in a Model-driven app. Right Click anywhere on the screen and click on Inspect and Click on Console to check the data.

I hope you had successfully retrieved the data using Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter, Fetchxml and JS code.

In the next article, will explain how to use them in real code C# and Web API and get the desired results.

How to Create Microsoft Power Apps 30 days Online Trial Version and an Environment?

Managing enterprise applications across Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 can be challenging for administrators. Teams must continuously monitor storage, licensing, environmental health, operational failures, and platform updates across multiple systems.

As organizations increasingly depend on these platforms for business-critical operations, even a minor issue can quickly disrupt users and impact overall business processes if not identified and resolved in time.

Consider a company using Power Apps and Dataverse for customer service operations across multiple departments. One day, Dataverse storage begins nearing its limit. Because Dataverse throttles performance when storage exceeds allocated capacity, workflows begin slowing down, users face delays while creating records, and some automations stop working properly.

Because the alert is often buried across emails, dashboards, or separate monitoring tools, administrators may not notice the issue immediately. By the time teams investigate, business operations are already impacted.

To address challenges like this, Microsoft introduced Notifications and Announcements (Preview) in the Power Platform admin center.

This feature provides a centralized and proactive administration experience where admins can:

• Monitor tenant health directly from the admin center
• Identify operational issues earlier
• Stay informed about Microsoft platform updates
• Respond faster to critical alerts
• Reduce dependency on multiple monitoring systems

Instead of manually searching across different portals, administrators can now review important operational alerts and product communications directly within their daily workflow. For enterprise teams, this means less firefighting and more proactive control.

Requirements to Access Notifications and Announcements

During the preview phase, access to Notifications () and Announcements () is limited to specific administrator roles in Microsoft Entra ID.

Only users assigned one of the following roles can access these features inside the Power Platform admin center:

• Power Platform Administrator
• Dynamics 365 Administrator
• Global Administrator

Follow the steps to assign required role

• Open the Microsoft Entra Admin Center and sign in with an administrator account.
• In the left navigation pane, go to Identity → Users.
• Select the user who needs access to Notifications and Announcements in the Power Platform admin center.
• Open the user profile, then select Assigned roles or Manage roles.
• Click Add assignments to assign a new administrator role. And
• Assign one of the following Microsoft Entra administrator roles:

1. Power Platform Administrator
2. Dynamics 365 Administrator
3. Global Administrator

Save the changes and sign in to the Power Platform admin center. The user will then be able to access the Notifications () and Announcements () icons from the top toolbar.

Notifications ()

Notifications help administrators monitor important operational issues directly inside the Power Platform admin center. These alerts are tenant-specific and help admins quickly identify issues related to environment health, storage, licensing, compliance, or other operational risks.

For example, if Dataverse storage starts nearing its limit, administrators can take action before workflows, apps, or business operations are affected.

Notifications may include:

• License or capacity alerts
• Dataverse storage warnings
• Compliance or environment-related issues

Admins can access notifications directly from the Bell icon () available in the upper-right corner of the Power Platform admin center, as shown in the screenshot below.

The Notifications pane displays:

• Unread alerts
• Notification summaries
• Severity indicators such as Info, Warning, or Critical
• Timestamps for newly generated alerts

The Notifications pane also categorizes alerts by severity to help administrators prioritize issues more effectively:

• Info – Informational updates or recommendations that do not require immediate action
• Warning – Potential risks or approaching limits that may require attention soon
• Critical – Urgent issues or service disruptions that require immediate action

As shown below, notifications are currently available in this environment because notifications appear only when tenant-level operational events or alerts are generated.

Selecting a notification opens the full message and may provide direct links to related areas such as Capacity, Licensing, or Environments, helping administrators investigate issues faster.

How to Act on a Notification (Example):

If you receive a Dataverse storage warning, clicking the notification typically links directly to the Capacity page. From there, you can view usage breakdowns, purchase additional storage add-ons, or identify tables with stale data to purge. This creates a clear path from alert to resolution.

Admins can also:

• Mark notifications as read
• Dismiss notifications from the list
• Receive toast notifications during sign-in or page refresh for newly generated alerts

About Toast Notifications:

Toast notifications are temporary pop-up messages that appear briefly in the corner of your screen when you sign in or refresh the page. They ensure you don’t miss new critical alerts even if you don’t have the Notifications pane open. After a few seconds, they disappear automatically without disrupting your workflow.

Overall, Notifications improve operational visibility and help organizations respond to platform issues more proactively.

Announcements ()

Announcements help administrators stay updated with the latest Microsoft platform updates directly inside the Power Platform admin center. Unlike Notifications, which focus on operational issues, Announcements are mainly designed for product updates, feature releases, webinars, and upcoming platform changes.

Administrators no longer need to rely entirely on multiple Microsoft blogs and documentation portals to stay informed about important updates.

Announcements may include:

• Public preview features
• General Availability (GA) updates
• Product enhancements
• Microsoft events and webinars
• Release notes and learning resources

Admins can access Announcements from the Megaphone icon () in the top-right corner of the admin center, as shown in the screenshot below.

The announcements panel displays recent updates, summaries, and publication details to help administrators quickly review important Microsoft communications. As shown below, announcements are currently available in this environment because announcements appear based on Microsoft product communications and preview availability.

Another useful benefit is that announcements often include direct links to Microsoft Learn documentation, release notes, and product blogs, helping organizations understand and plan for upcoming changes more efficiently.

Notifications vs Announcements

Although Notifications and Announcements are available together inside the Power Platform admin center, both serve different purposes.

Consider a real-world example:

A company notices that Dataverse storage is reaching its limit. Administrators receive a Warning notification, allowing them to take action before workflows, apps, or automations are affected. This is an operational alert that directly impacts the organization’s environment.

At the same time, Microsoft may publish an Announcement about an upcoming Power Platform feature release or licensing update. While this does not require immediate action, it helps administrators prepare for future platform changes and adoption planning.

In simple terms:

• Notifications help admins monitor and respond to operational or tenant-level issues.
• Announcements help admins stay informed about Microsoft product updates, releases, and upcoming changes.

Together, these features provide a more centralized and proactive administration experience inside the Power Platform admin center.

Relationship with Microsoft 365 Message Center

The Power Platform admin center Notifications are designed to complement existing Microsoft 365 monitoring and communication systems rather than replace them. Together, they help administrators get a complete view of both tenant health and platform-wide updates.

For organization-wide updates such as feature rollouts, deprecations, breaking changes, or service announcements, administrators continue to rely on the Microsoft 365 Message Center. It is the primary source for Microsoft 365-wide communications that may impact multiple services across an organization, including Power Platform.

In contrast, Power Platform Notifications focus on tenant-specific operational alerts. These alerts help administrators quickly identify and respond to issues related to environment health, storage capacity, licensing, compliance, or service disruptions that directly affect their Power Platform environments.

For example, if a Dataverse environment is nearing its storage limit, administrators receive a notification within the Power Platform admin center and can take action before it impacts applications, workflows, or users.

In simple terms:

• Microsoft 365 Message Center is used for planned changes, updates, and Microsoft-wide communications.
• Power Platform Notifications are used for real-time, tenant-level operational issues.

Together, they provide better visibility by combining long-term platform communication with real-time operational monitoring inside the Power Platform admin center.

Conclusion:

Power Platform admin center Notifications and Announcements (Preview) provide administrators with a more proactive and centralized management experience.

Notifications help teams respond quickly to tenant-level operational issues such as storage, licensing, and environment risks, while Announcements keep administrators informed about upcoming Microsoft updates, features, and platform changes.

Together, these features improve visibility, streamline administration, and complement the Microsoft 365 Message Center for a more complete view of both operational issues and platform updates.

In my previous article, I had explained about Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter and in this article, will explain about how to use this Tool.

Requirement: Get all the Active Contacts created in the last 1 hour using JS, C# and Web API.

Solution:

Follow the below steps,

Step 1: Click on the below link to open the Arun Potti’s FetchXML formatter.

Arun Potti’s FetchXML Formatter

Step 2: Open the Advanced Find and Select the conditions as mentioned below.

Look for: Contacts

Conditions:

Created On – Last X Hours – 1
Status Equals Active

Step 3: Click on Download Fetch XML.

Step 4: Click on Open file.

Step 5: Select and copy the downloaded FetchXML.

FetchXML Code:

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
  <entity name="contact">
  <attribute name="fullname"/>
  <attribute name="address1_composite"/>
  <attribute name="mobilephone"/>
  <attribute name="birthdate"/>
  <attribute name="contactid"/>
  <order attribute="fullname" descending="false"/>
    <filter type="and">
      <condition attribute="createdon" operator="last-x-hours" value="1"/>
      <condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="0"/>
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>

Step 6: Paste the copied FetchXML in the FetchXML Input in the Arun Potti’s FetchXML formatter mentioned in the Step 1.

After the FetchXML input is provided, the tool automatically produces fully formatted JavaScript, C#, and Web API code snippets in the Generated Code section for the direct implementation.

Hope you have successfully downloaded the required FetchXML, provided the Input and saw all the outputs.

In the next article, will explain how to use them in real code JS, C# and Web API and get the desired results.

You invested in Dynamics 365 to streamline operations, improve customer engagement, and drive growth.

But instead of speed and efficiency, your teams are dealing with:

• Delayed deployments/releases
• Unexpected production errors
• Last Minute fixes
• Frustrated stakeholders

Here’s is the truth; Most Dynamics 365 failures don’t come from bad code. They come from broken deployment practices.

At Inogic, we help businesses shift from reactive, error-prone deployments to predictable, automated, and scalable delivery models using modern practices like Azure DevOps CI/CD and Power Platform ALM pipelines.

Why Your Deployments Keep Breaking

For years, Dynamics CRM development followed a familiar pattern:

• Export solutions from Development
• Import into Test and Production
• Perform manual validations

While this may work in simple scenarios, it breaks down at scale.

Common Challenges

• Human Errors: A missed dependency or incorrect configuration can break production.
• Environment Mismatches: What works in Test fails in Production
• Lack of Visibility: No clear tracking of who changed what and when.
• Slow Time-to-Market: Manual processes delay releases and business responsiveness.
• Difficult Rollbacks: Fixing failed deployments takes hours instead of minutes.

The Business Impact

Every failed deployment isn’t just an IT issue it affects:

• Revenue opportunities
• Customer experience
• Team productivity
• Business continuity

Every unstable release erodes trust in your system.

The Shift: CI/CD with Azure DevOps

Modern businesses cannot afford slow, unpredictable releases.

This is where Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) come in.

With Azure DevOps CI/CD, your deployment process becomes automated, consistent, and reliable.

What Changes with CI/CD?

1. A developer makes a change
2. The pipeline automatically builds and tests the solution
3. Errors are caught early
4. Approved changes move seamlessly to higher environments

What This Means for Your Business

• No more manual exports/imports
• Faster and more frequent releases
• Reduced deployment risks
• Full visibility into every change

Think of it as a factory line for your software, every step automated, tested, and optimized.

Bringing Control to Low-Code with ALM

The rise of low-code tools like Power Apps and Power Automate has empowered business users to innovate faster.

But without governance, this can lead to:

• Uncontrolled changes
• Broken dependencies
• Security risks
• Environmental chaos

The Fix: Power Platform ALM Pipeline

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) introduces structure into low-code development.

Key Environments

• Development – Safe space for building
• Test – Validation and user acceptance
• Production – Stable, business-ready solutions

The Result

• Version control for every solution
• Controlled and automated deployments
• Easy rollback to previous versions
• Scalable innovation without chaos

This is essential for organizations scaling their Power Platform development services.

What Modern ALM & CI/CD Actually Deliver

When you move from manual processes to automated pipelines, the impact is immediate:

• Faster Time-to-Value: Release cycles shrink from weeks to days—or even hours.
• Reduced Risk: Automated testing minimizes production errors.
• Better Collaboration: Developers, IT teams, and business users work in sync.
• Full Traceability: Every change is logged, tracked, and auditable.
• Instant Rollbacks: Failures can be reversed quickly with minimal disruption.
• Scalability: Grow your system without increasing complexity.

Why Inogic?

At Inogic, we don’t just implement pipelines we fix the underlying process.

Our Approach

• Audit your current deployment process
• Identify bottlenecks and risks
• Implement structured CI/CD pipelines
• Establish governed ALM practices
• Train your teams for long-term success

Because tools alone don’t solve problems, process does.

Turn Your Dynamics 365 Into a Growth Engine

If your deployments still depend on manual effort, you don’t have a strategy you have a risk.

By modernizing your development lifecycle, you can:

• Eliminate release-day stress
• Deliver faster, smarter updates
• Build a resilient and scalable system

Let’s Fix What’s Slowing You Down

If your last deployment caused delays, rework, or uncertainty it’s time to rethink your process.

Let’s identify where your deployment pipeline is breaking and how to fix it.

FAQs

What is Azure DevOps CI/CD in Dynamics 365 development?

Azure DevOps CI/CD in Dynamics 365 development is an automated process that builds, tests, and deploys CRM customizations across environments. It ensures that every change is validated before release, reducing errors and enabling faster, reliable deployments.

Why are manual deployments risky in Dynamics 365 environments?

Manual deployments in Dynamics 365 environments are risky because they rely on human intervention, which can lead to missed dependencies, configuration mismatches, and production failures. These issues often result in downtime, delayed releases, and increased operational costs.

What is a Power Platform ALM pipeline?

A Power Platform ALM pipeline is a structured deployment process that manages the movement of apps, flows, and solutions from development through testing and production. It ensures version control, governance, and consistent deployments across environments.

How does CI/CD improve Dynamics 365 implementation services?

CI/CD improves Dynamics 365 implementation services by automating testing and deployment, reducing manual effort, accelerating release cycles, and ensuring consistent configurations across environments.

How does Azure DevOps help in Dynamics CRM development?

Azure DevOps helps in Dynamics CRM development by enabling automated builds, test validation, release pipelines, and version tracking. It provides complete visibility into changes and ensures stable, repeatable deployments.

How does deployment automation reduce downtime in Dynamics 365?

Deployment automation reduces downtime by eliminating manual errors, enabling pre-deployment testing, and allowing quick rollback to stable versions if issues occur during release.
