Automatisera ditt teamsskapande med Power Platform
Vill du också effektivisera processen för att skapa teams i er organisation? Eller bara få lite bättre koll? Då är det här föreläsningen för dig!
I den här sessionen visar jag hur vi kan skapa en app i teams där användare i din organisation kan ansöka om ett nytt team, hur dessa sen skickas för godkännande och hur du sen automatiserar skapandet av dessa.
Vi använder oss av flera olika komponenter i Power Platform: Power Apps, Dataverse for Teams, Power Automate och Approval flows.
Använda low-code AI i verksamhetsprocesser
Det finns flera möjligheter att inkorporera AI med hjälp av low-code och på så sätt stötta och effektivisera vissa delar av verksamhetsprocesserna man har.
Man kan till exempel använda AI för att kategorisera ärenden, summera ett kundkort eller skapa utkast av text med olika tonalitet.
I den här sessionen går vi igenom hur man med enkla medel kan använda sig av den lågt hängande frukt som finns inom Dynamics 365 och Power Platform. Vi går igenom olika exempel på användarfall och demonstrerar hur tekniken fungerar.
Daniel Bergqvist från Investor AB kommer även berätta om det fall som vi använder AI i Power Platform för att underlätta en verksamhetsprocess.

No-Code Hacks
A live demo of how to solve a couple of requirements with configurations in a creative way.
Plan Designer: Copilots coola kusin – och hur du blir kompis med den
Vi har alla sett de där Copilot-demona. Du vet, de som får appbygge att se superenkelt ut – tills man plötsligt kör in i väggen och Copilot säger: “Oj, där kan jag tyvärr inte hjälpa till!” 😬
Så... hur är det med Plan Designer då? Är det Copilots coolare och mer kompetenta kusin? Lever den upp till hypen, eller sitter vi fortfarande fast med det tunga jobbet själva? Spoiler: den är faktiskt rätt cool – men vi visar dig var den glänser och var det fortfarande behövs lite finjustering.
Plan Designer handlar inte bara om att bygga appar – utan om att designa hela apparkitekturen. Från att beskriva dina verksamhetsbehov på vanlig svenska (ingen teknisk jargong krävs!) till att ett gäng specialiserade agenter hjälper dig kartlägga användarpersonas, user stories och ett relationsdatamodell i Dataverse. Plan Designer fixar det mesta – till och med förslag på appar och automationer som jobbar tillsammans för att möta dina användares behov. Du kan luta dig tillbaka och se magin hända (eller ta åt dig äran 😎).
Men kom ihåg – det är fortfarande nytt, så vissa skavanker finns kvar (Copilot gillar ju att hålla oss ödmjuka).
Vad du får med dig:
⭐ Hur du får Plan Designer att förstå din vision – utan att prata robotspråk 🤖
⭐ De vanligaste Copilot-quirksen och hur du rundar dem
⭐ Prompt-hacks för att få bättre resultat snabbare (det handlar helt om hur du frågar)
⭐ En live-demo med de bästa bitarna – plus några “vänta, vad?!”-ögonblick
Oavsett om du vill snabba upp ditt appbygge eller bara är nyfiken på hur långt Copilot har kommit, så får du här insyn bakom kulisserna. Copilots coola kusin kan faktiskt överraska dig!
Power App Containers for Beginners!
Are you new to building Canvas Apps and Custom Pages? Many new makers tend to place different controls directly on their screens, inadvertently creating a maze of complexity. However, there exists a more streamlined and effective approach—utilizing containers.
What are containers?
Containers are a several controls that helps you with placement of your other controls, as well as your responsiveness and will lead to faster development of your apps once you get the hang of it.
Starting out with containers can be a frustrating experience if you've previously used drag and drop and there is a few things you can learn to make that transit more smooth.
In this session I will show you what containers are, why you should use them and show a demo on how to use them.
This session is targeted for beginners and will go through basics and keep it as simple as possible.

🤖 Click, Prompt, Create: AI-Powered Record Automation in Power Apps 🚀
Unlock the full potential of AI in Power Apps! In this session, we’ll show you how to speed up record creation by combining AI Builder, Dataverse, and custom user inputs. AI Builder is a tool within Power Platform that usually assists with generating text, summarizing information, and making predictions. But did you know it can also be leveraged to create draft records directly from user inputs? By using AI Prompts, you can get structured data in the form of JSON and create editable records within your app.
Imagine needing to schedule a series of course dates based on parameters like course type, start date, and session frequency, all provided by the user. Instead of manually creating hundreds of entries, AI Prompts and Dataverse allow you to automatically generate a complete schedule in just a few clicks. With structured JSON data, Power Apps can produce a full draft of scheduled course dates—ready to be edited and saved in Dataverse without tedious data entry.
We’ll walk through setting up AI Prompts that combine data from Dataverse with custom user inputs, providing a powerful way to speed up the record creation process for tasks, schedules, and more. You’ll see how to capture structured data, how to convert that it into editable drafts, allowing users to quickly review and adjust before saving records to Dataverse. By creating a dedicated draft editing screen, you can make these records fully customizable and tailor them to specific needs.
Key Take Aways
⭐ Gain a practical understanding of how to set up and use AI Prompts in Power Apps, even if you’re new to AI Builder
⭐ Explore different types of input for AI Prompts, merging data from Dataverse with user-generated inputs to create powerful and flexible records.
⭐ Learn to speed up record creation workflows by transforming structured JSON data into editable drafts, reducing manual entry and improving efficiency
Ideal for anyone familiar with Power Apps, this session requires no previous experience with AI Builder or AI Prompts. Join us to discover how AI can do more than text processing—learn how it can drive true automation for record management within Power Platform!
