At Ignite we <a href=\"https:\/\/myignite.microsoft.com\/sessions\/a5da5404-6a25-4428-b4d0-9aba67076a08\">unveiled<\/a> new features for AI Builder, which dramatically increase the ways you can use AI in Power Apps, making it easier than ever to add more kinds of intelligence to your business solutions.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Use AI in your apps with Power Fx (Preview)<\/strong>. Using Power Fx, makers can now use any AI model on any control in canvas apps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring Your own AI model<\/strong><strong> (GA)<\/strong>. Companies can leverage existing investments in data science. Any AI model, built with any language, framework, or tooling, can now be used in Power Platform via AI Builder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Image classification with Lobe (Preview)<\/strong>. Domain experts can train image classification models on their computers with <a href=\"https:\/\/lobe.ai\/\">Lobe<\/a>\u00a0and upload those models to AI Builder to be used in Power Platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Builder starter capacity is now included <\/strong>in select Power Apps and Power Automate license plans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s walk through these in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Use AI in your apps with Power Fx<\/h2>\n<p>Until now, the only way you could use AI in your canvas app was through our five AI Builder controls. This worked, but the controls were limited in the ways you could customize them, and only supported five of our sixteen AI model types.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are making it easier than ever to add intelligence to your Power Apps directly through Power Fx. This gives you access to all the pre-trained and custom AI models, and can be used with any control within your app.<\/p>\n<p>Let me show how you can use AI with Power Fx with an example app I made to report car damage claims with a picture and description.<\/p>\n<p>First, add the AI model you\u2019d like to use as a data source to your app. For this example, I\u2019m adding the model \u2018Car Damage Classifier\u2019 that I trained with Lobe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A GIF showing how you can add an AI model as a data source to a canvas app in Power Apps\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17354 size-full\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/powerappsblogmedia.azureedge.net\/powerappsblog\/2021\/11\/Add-AI-as-data-source-1920x1080.gif\" width=\"1920\"\/><br \/>\n<em>Figure 1:\u00a0 Add an AI model as a data source<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once the AI model has been added as a data source to your app, select any control and call the AI model through Power Fx to make a prediction. In this example, I&#8217;ve uploaded a car image for the AI model to classify the type of damage.<\/p>\n<pre>'Model Name'.Predict(Image).Prediction<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A GIF showing how you can make a Power Fx prediction call to an AI model in a canvas app in Power Apps\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17731 size-full\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AI-in-Power-Fx.gif\" width=\"1920\"\/><br \/>\n<em>Figure 2: Use AI through Power Fx\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up your model and Power Fx you can test it out.

But over time, and after talking with customers, we\u2019ve learned that companies who have data scientists or machine learning engineers could not easily enable citizen developers to leverage their custom AI models in the Power Platform.<\/p>\n<p>Now, anyone can bring their own custom AI models into AI Builder \u2013 enabling you to build solutions around your company&#8217;s investments in AI. You can build custom models using any developer tool chain and deploy your models to any cloud service, like Azure. All you need to do is register your model with AI Builder, and it can be used alongside any other pre-trained or custom models.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A GIF illustrating that you can now bring your own AI model to AI Builder to use in Power Platform\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17348 size-full\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BYOM-GIF-1920x1080.gif\" width=\"1920\"\/><br \/>\n<em>Figure 4: You can now bring your own model to AI Builder<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re excited to see what business solutions you will build around your own AI models.

We strive to make these tools easier to use with AI Builder &#8211; starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/lobe.ai\/\">Lobe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lobe is an easy-to-use app from Microsoft that helps you build image classification models. It is free to use and trains models on your own computer. All you need to do is add and label images and Lobe will automatically train a custom machine learning model for you. And now you can easily upload your model from Lobe directly to AI Builder to use in Power Apps and Power Automate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An image of Lobe showing a car damage image classification dataset and trained model\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17359 size-full\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080.png\" width=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lobe-App-1920-x-1080-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Figure 5: Use Lobe to train models and upload to AI Builder<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Using Lobe with Power Platform will be available in preview in select regions starting next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>AI Builder starter capacity<\/h2>\n<p>We want to make it easy for everyone to get started with AI Builder, a premium service in the Power Platform.
