Microsoft Partners - We're sharing an opportunity for you to contribute to the Microsoft roadmap for tooling and capabilities that help ISVs build, deploy, and monitor Copilots. Voice your company's thoughts on what features and capabilities would help your company whether you're considering a custom Copilot or have already built one. Complete this survey (~5 mins) by EOD 11/22 to influence the roadmap. In this context, Copilot refers custom Copilots, Microsoft Copilots extensions, autonomous agents, and genAI infused Industry applications.Bring Back AI Builder Calculator
Hello, This is my campaign to bring back the AI Builder Calculator. Since Ignite, the AI Builder calculator at https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder-calculator/ simply redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps. I feel like this is a misstep. AI Builder looks to be a huge part of Power Automate and Copilot Studio and not giving users a mostly user-friendly way to go about calculating the # of AI Builder credits they will use doesn't seem like the right business decision. As of today, you'd have to know that the rate card is in the Power Platform licensing guide, know how many AI Builder credits you get in a bundle and do the math yourself. The AI Builder calculator did that for you and was an integral part of Microsoft's websites for years. Perhaps another reason this is nonsensical is that AI Builder has much more to do with Power Automate than it does Power Apps, so if you were going to redirect the site, why have it redirect to Power Apps. Please resurrect the AI Builder calculator for the good of the community. -BlakeBusiness Applications Partner News: Week of March 18

Summary On February 29, 2024, Microsoft announced the public preview of Microsoft Copilot for Finance, the newest role-based extension of Microsoft Copilot. Copilot for Finance works seamlessly with the existing financial systems and data sources companies already rely on, bringing the right data to users in Excel and Outlook, to transform the way finance professionals complete everyday tasks. Microsoft Copilot for Finance Copilot for Finance surfaces insight while in the flow of work to support strategic decision-making and reduces the time spent on manual, repetitive work. By harnessing next-generation AI, Copilot automates time consuming tasks, like data consolidation, to empower finance professionals to focus on what truly matters – driving business performance. Copilot for Finance works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use daily to make financial processes more seamless and automated. At preview, we will support three scenarios: Streamline data reconciliation: Traditionally, accounts receivable (AR) managers spent hours manually pulling data from ERP records to reconcile in Excel. With Copilot for Finance, these critical steps are done with a simple prompt, empowering AR managers to act on inconsistencies found with suggested copy and relevant invoices attached. Accelerated collections: Collection coordinators spend ample time reviewing outstanding accounts and attempting to reconcile them in a timely matter. Copilot for Finance empowers the collections process by suggesting priority accounts, summarizing conversations to record back to ERP, and providing payment plans for customers. Understanding variances: [Live in public preview in April] Instead of reviewing large financial data sets for unusual patterns, users can prompt Copilot for Finance to detect and highlight variances for investigation and follow-up.
