 ## Generative AI in Power Platform
 
 Enhancing low-code development and application with generative AI is a key focus area for Power Platform. The goal is to enable everyone to build AI-powered apps, sites, dashboards and automate processes with AI, without requiring any data science expertise. This is achieved by integrating generative AI into the low-code development experience in Power Platform in the form of Copilot and AI Builder.
 
 How does this work? Copilot is an AI assistant that enables you to build Power Platform solutions by describing your requirements in a series of conversational steps using natural language. You can use Copilot driven functionalities as feature in your app screens to enable users to uncover insights through conversational interactions. AI Builder is a low-code AI capability available in Power Platform that enables you to use AI Models to help you to automate processes and predict outcomes. With AI Builder you can bring AI to your apps and flows that connect to your data in Dataverse or in various cloud data sources, such as SharePoint, OneDrive or Azure.
 
-Copilot is available in all of the Power Platform products: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages and Power Virtual Agents. AI Builder is available in Power Apps and Power Automate. In this lesson, we will focus on how to use Copilot and AI Builder in Power Apps and Power Automate to build a solution for Edu4All, our fictitious education startup.

 The copilot AI assistant feature in Power Automate enables you to describe what kind of flow you need and what actions you want your flow to perform. Copilot then generates a flow based on your description. You can then customize the flow to meet your needs. The AI Copilot also generates and suggests the actions you need to perform the task you want to automate. We will look at what flows are and how you can use them in Power Automate on this lesson later. You can then customize the actions to meet your needs using the AI Copilot assistant feature through conversational steps. This feature is readily available from the Power Automate home screen.

-Edu4All is a fictitious education startup that provides online courses to students. The startup has grown rapidly and is now struggling to keep up with the demand for its courses. The startup has hired you as a Power Platform developer to help them build a low code solution to help them manage their student assignments and invoices. Their solution should be able to help them track and manage student assignments through an app and automate the invoice processing process through a workflow. You have been asked to use Generative AI to develop the solution.

 When you are getting started with using Copilot, you can use the [Power Platform Copilot Prompt Library](https://pnp.github.io/powerplatform-prompts/?WT.mc_id=academic-109639-somelezediko) to get started with the prompts. This library contains a list of prompts that you can use to build apps and flows with Copilot. You can also use the prompts in the library to get an idea of how to describe your requirements to Copilot.

 The Power Platform has an underlying data platform called Dataverse that enables you to store the data for your apps and solutions. Dataverse provides a low-code data platform for storing the apps data. It is a fully managed service that securely stores data in the Microsoft Cloud and is provisioned within your Power Platform environment. It comes with built-in data governance capabilities, such as data classification, data lineage, fine-grained access control, and more. You can learn more about Dataverse [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/data-platform/data-platform-intro?WT.mc_id=academic-109639-somelezediko).
 
-Why should you use Dataverse for Edu4All? The standard and custom tables within Dataverse provide a secure and cloud-based storage option for your data. Tables let you store different types of data, similar to how you might use multiple worksheets in a single Excel workbook.

-Azure Cloud Advocates at Microsoft are pleased to offer a 12-week, 24-lesson curriculum all about Generative AI basics. Each lesson includes pre- and post-lesson quizzes, written instructions to complete the lesson, a solution, an assignment and more. Our project-based pedagogy allows you to learn while building, a proven way for new skills to 'stick'.
-
-> **Teachers**, we have [included some suggestions](for-teachers.md) on how to use this curriculum. If you would like to create your own lessons, we have also included a [lesson template](lesson-template/README.md).
-
-> **[Students](https://learn.microsoft.com/training/student-hub/?WT.mc_id=academic-99474-cxa)**, to use this curriculum on your own, fork the entire repo and complete the exercises on your own, starting with a pre-lecture quiz, then reading the lecture and completing the rest of the activities. Try to create the projects by comprehending the lessons rather than copying the solution code; however that code is available in the /solutions folders in each project-oriented lesson. Another idea would be to form a study group with friends and go through the content together.
-
-## Pedagogy
-
-We have chosen two pedagogical tenets while building this curriculum: ensuring that it is project-based and that it includes frequent quizzes. By the end of this series, students will have built a number of real-world projects that leverage generative AI.
-
-By ensuring that the content aligns with projects, the process is made more engaging for students and retention of concepts will be augmented.
-
-In addition, a low-stakes quiz before a class sets the intention of the student towards learning a topic, while a second quiz after class ensures further retention. This curriculum was designed to be flexible and fun and can be taken in whole or in part. The projects start small and become increasingly complex by the end of the 12 week cycle.

 - written lesson
