Extending and enhancing your apps with the power of AI (I won’t use the C Word!)
Have you heard of AI? Of course you have! Are you wondering how you can extend and enhance your Power Platform apps and flows using OpenAI and Azure services to bring the power of generative AI to your solutions? Well, this session is just for you!
On this session, I’ll take you through the fundamentals of adding AI services to your apps and flows, an overview on promoting and adding guardrails to your requests to ensure your generative services don’t go wild! We’ll also have a lot of fun too, probably at my expense!
After this session you will be comfortable in doing the following:
+ Adding generative functionality to your apps and flows
+ Write good system prompts that get the AI doing what you want it to do and master Prompt Engineering.
+ Understand the different parameters available on OpenAI services.
+ Add parameters to your generative AI calls from data within your solution.

Whether you’re a seasoned Power Platform maker, of if you’re just starting out on the platform, you’ll definitely find value in this session with easy to understand examples and live demos.
