artificial intelligence or AI, was a thing of science fiction novels and
films. And in the real world App building and
AI, were reserved for highly skilled computer professionals. With Power Apps,
you can not only create your own apps, but you can also add AI all without
advanced computer knowledge. Now let's take a closer look
at some of the many things, Power Apps can do for you. With power apps, you can add AI
functionality like image recognition, without writing code, designing, and
training data models or complicated logic. Power Apps has made AI accessible to all, with a wizard based interface that you
can use to build and train your model. This unlocks the power of Azure machine
learning and cognitive services, without writing a single line of code. Or creating complex
machine learning models, Ooe ready to use AI component
is the business card reader. It reviews an uploaded photo, or picture
taken to see if it is a business card, and subsequently extracts
the relevant information. No configuration needed, you can even
use the underlying AI components in other ways, by first building a model. Power Apps provides a wizard that guides
you through building and training the model, you can find the link in
the additional resources for this lesson. Currently there are four AI models
available to you in Power Apps, form processor, object detector,
text classification and prediction. You may be wondering what each of them
can do for you, the form processor, extracts text from an image
like the business card reader. By contrast, the object detector
identifies and counts objects, from an uploaded image or taken photo. Next is the text classification model, this model categorizes text by its
meaning, making it easier to analyze. Lastly the prediction model predicts
whether something will happen, it uses previous data to predict yes or
no outcomes. All you need to do to train the model, is provide historical data that includes
the yes or no outcome, AI does the rest. You can then use the prediction models,
you have built to solve business problems such as, will a lead become a customer,
will a project be profitable. Will a customer stop doing business
with you based on activity, as you can see AI can help you
answer powerful business questions. Without writing a single line of code,
and if all of that isn't enough, Power Apps has a host of tools for
