Area of Expertise
Topics
Building on the basics, the path to high autonomy in planning
What happens after we built a foundational planning system and automated much of our core work? Agents, autonomy, changing team composition, and value-driven work. We'll go into how the team leveraged AI (VS Code, GitHub Copilot) to massively boost our Microsoft Power Platform capability to plow through business context and deliver on bottom line results. We'll showcase real pieces of automation that allow for us to remove the human-in-the loop at times as well as those that center around agentic recommendation engines. The session will require basic understanding of PowerApps, Flows, and LLM capabilities and limitations (or a lot of enthusiasm!).
Optimizing Material Management with AI: Combining OCR and AI Prompts for Key Insights
Explore how AI Builder and AI prompts can transform material management processes. This session will showcase the power of OCR models to extract critical data from material tags, followed by leveraging AI Prompts and Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze and retrieve key material properties. Learn how to automate manual tasks, enhance data accuracy, and drive smarter decision-making in material handling and inventory management.
Empowering Project Management with AI: Leveraging AI Builder and AI Prompts for Efficiency
Unlock the power of AI Builder to revolutionize project management and accelerate key workflows. In this session, we'll dive into real-world applications of AI to automate routine tasks, simplify decision-making, and improve overall efficiency. Discover how AI-driven insights and intelligent prompts can help project teams stay agile, enhance collaboration, and deliver projects faster in today’s dynamic business environment.
Empowering Developers with Ready-to-Use AI Models
What if I told you that you could integrate advanced AI capabilities into your applications without the usual complexities? In this session, we'll explore how AI Builder enables developers to implement features like GPT-powered error detection in log files, OCR-based data extraction, and AI-enhanced project management, all while minimizing traditional development overhead.
Dynamic AI Prompts in Power Apps: Build a Smart Analysis Engine
Stop hardcoding AI prompts! In this session, you'll learn a powerful pattern for building Power Apps that dynamically select AI prompts at runtime, enabling users to choose their analysis type and receive tailored AI-generated insights with a single button click.
Using a real-world project management solution, I'll demonstrate how to create a "prompt as data" architecture where AI Builder GPT prompts are stored in collections and retrieved based on user selection. This approach transforms static apps into intelligent, configurable tools that citizen developers can extend without modifying code.
What You'll Learn:
• Store multiple AI prompt templates in Power Apps collections
• Build dynamic context strings from SharePoint data to feed AI models
• Integrate AI Builder GPT using the Predict function with variable prompts
• Design user interfaces for analysis type selection and result display
• Apply prompt engineering techniques for structured, actionable outputs
Live Demo:
Watch as we select a project, choose from 6+ analysis types (Risk Assessment, Performance Analysis, Health Check, Stakeholder Update, Recovery Plan), and generate professional AI insights—all in one app, one screen, one button.
Key Takeaway:
A reusable pattern you can apply to ANY domain—sales analysis, HR insights, customer support, operations—wherever dynamic AI analysis adds value.
Whether you're a Power Platform developer adding AI to existing apps or a citizen developer exploring AI Builder, you'll leave with a complete, adaptable blueprint
AI-Powered IT Incident Management: Using AI Prompts to Detect and Resolve Errors
Leverage the power of AI prompts, Power Automate, and Power Apps to streamline IT incident log analysis. In this session, you’ll learn how to use AI to detect error lines in log files, highlight issues, and suggest solutions—all while automating the process with Power Automate. Explore how a custom Power App can interface with this data, providing a seamless user experience for real-time incident management and resolution. Enhance your IT operations by integrating AI-driven insights with the Power Platform.
AI Builder Food Analysis: Analyzing Food Labels & Meal Macros with Multimodal AI Prompts
Unlock the power of AI Builder and multimodal AI prompts to transform how we analyze food data! In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how to leverage AI to extract meaningful insights from food labels and photos. Using the latest multimodality feature, we’ll demonstrate how to pass food images and nutritional labels into AI models to generate structured insights, helping users make informed dietary choices.
Attendees will learn how to:
✅ Use AI Builder and Power Apps to create a food analysis tool that processes food labels and photos.
✅ Design AI Prompts to analyze food labels for ingredients, additives, and potential health risks.
✅ Extract macronutrient data from food photos, returning JSON-formatted estimates for calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
✅ Aggregate meal-level nutritional insights using AI-generated responses.
✅ Automate data processing workflows using Power Automate to integrate AI analysis into Power Apps.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to leverage AI in the Power Platform to build intelligent, real-world applications. Whether you're a developer, Power Platform enthusiast, or someone interested in AI-powered food tracking, this session will provide the tools and knowledge to bring AI-driven food analysis to life!
