Technical requirements

AI models (managed through AI Builder in the Power Platform) require access to the Microsoft Dataverse.

If you haven’t created a Dataverse database yet, you can use the following process:

1. Navigate to the Power Automate web portal (https://flow.microsoft.com).
2. Expand AI Builder, and then select Explore:
