Absolutely loving your content. Thank you so much Lisa 🙏🙌

Thanks for the highlights video!! I would absolutely love some more videos on AI Builder and what it can do! I just finished my first AI Model for extracting information from PDFs. In my case it is transcripts that I'm processing from uploaded docs to a SharePoint document library. SO COOOOOLLL!!! It processed 50 sample transcripts in about 2-3 minutes! And now I have all the information captured from the transcripts like student name, number, college, contact info!

Nice summary, thanks for shating. It terms of funcionalities, it would also be interesting to be able to use PowerAutomate Desktop, to do automated testing of apps and include it in a software development context, ideally it could be for Windows apps, web apps or even ClickOnce apps.

Thanks so much for this helpful insight!

Hi!
Really enjoy your videos! Very useful and productive!
Can you please also recommend a book to learn the Power Platform?

[@cl1116]

Definitely interested in your AI Builder follow up from this

[@sevenaac4783]

Clear... Excellent introduction

[@cwanja89]

Wonder if the formula explanation is viewed as building off the Copilot in the maker experience today. Less clicks than it takes today, but hope it also actually works. The Copilot in today's maker experience often delivers "Sorry I cannot do that"

Great videos! Do you know how to turn the Comments off when using the Edit mode in PowerApps?

[@SmartLearningAI]

Very interesting thanks Lisa. One thing I desperately need is for the process to get power apps on a phone (natively for clients outside of the org/environment to become easier aka true instant native app capabilities for small canvas apps storing their data in a simple json format directly and independently on the user phone. Also there should be no special monthly license for these small business simple apps. I imagine them to be like a stepping stone to incentivize users to dig deeper and discover the power platform as they evolve. Thoughts?

[@LisaCrosbie]

Power Apps is a business applications platform, designed to connect users to business data, so although there are features that can help with packaging and sharing externally, it's not the focus of the product development and I wouldn't expect to see that change.

cool
