CDS – Common Data Service allows you to store and manage data that business applications use securely. Data is stored on a set of entities within the Common Data Service. An entity is a set of data storage records, similar to the way a table stores data within a database. Common Data Service includes a basic set of standard entities that cover typical scenarios, but you can also use Power Query to create and populate custom entities specific to your organisation with information. Then app makers can use Power Apps to use this data to create rich applications.

AI Builder – is a capability of Microsoft Power Platform that you can utilise to improve business performance by automating processes and predicting results. AI Builder is a turnkey solution which delivers AI power through a point-and – click experience. You can add intelligence to your apps with AI Builder, even if you don’t have the coding or data science skills.

The simple wizard like experience is tailored to empower every developer in accordance with the power platform’s essence. Under the ‘Models’ tab of the AI Builder, you can access all of your AI models in a single pane, providing up front key information about each model in a tabular format.

How does Power Platform collaborate together with all 4 apps? 

All four of these applications have different functionality but can work together to significantly improve your operations. In fact, to gain a deep perception, here is a case in which all applications in the Power Platform can work together. 

An app has been created on Power Apps which allows salespeople to create sales orders on the go, meaning they don’t have to wait until they’re back in the office to fill out the sales order. The salesperson goes to a client site, finds out what they need to order and fills out the required information on the app, storing the data in the CDS. Then Power Automate workflow has been set up to send an automatic email notification to a manager to approve the sales order as soon as it has been filled out. A Power BI dashboard has been created to display sales data, tracking various metrics relating to item sales, sale locations, number of sales for each salesperson, etc. Finally, with the help of Power Virtual Agent AI bots, you can know the status of your order, whether it’s approved or at what stage.
