As someone who has worked extensively with Microsoft's Power Platform and AI technologies, made 100's of applications including 2 free open source AI Power Platform apps... "aiinterviewassistant" dot com, and "processsentinel" dot com. I found this book to be an incredibly valuable resource. The author, Aaron Guilmette, does an excellent job of breaking down complex topics in a way that is easy to understand, while also providing practical, real-world examples and use cases.The book covers a wide range of AI services and how they can be leveraged within the Power Platform ecosystem, from ChatGPT and OpenAI to Azure AI and more. What I particularly appreciated was the level of technical detail provided, as well as the step-by-step guidance on how to configure and utilize these services.As an experienced Power Platform architect, I was impressed by the author's depth of knowledge and ability to translate it into a comprehensive and engaging read. Whether you're new to the Power Platform or a seasoned veteran, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to harness the power of AI in their application development and automation efforts.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the intersection of Power Platform and AI. The author's clear and concise writing style, combined with the wealth of practical information, make this an invaluable addition to any Power Platform professional's library.

This book was right on time and is an essential read for both beginner and experienced Power Platform developers. With AI rapidly changing the game in app development and automation, this is one of the few sources that dives deep into how to leverage these new technologies effectively. Knowing Aaron’s extensive experience in the field gave me confidence in the reliability of the content as well.It does a better job than I expected in providing content suitable for both newer, citizen-type developers and experienced professionals like myself. I feel like my wife, who has no dev experience, could pick it up and actually learn from it. It's also great for people in HR, Finance, or other non-IT fields who are curious about how they can use these tools. At the same time, it's detailed enough with technical aspects for those in IT with more experience.As a professional Power Platform Developer, I found the book particularly valuable. Despite my experience, I hadn't previously bootstrapped a PowerApp with Copilot, and Guilmette's step-by-step guide made the process straightforward and achievable. His clear and engaging writing style made the book less of a slog than I thought it might be and kept me motivated to follow-through and get results.Practicality is definitely the book's strong suit. Chapters like "Talking to ChatGPT" and "Using ChatGPT and Copilot to Create Flows and Apps" are hands-on and very useful. The book also covers creating and publishing generative AI bots, providing a guide for enhancing customer experiences through automation and AI, and again, the step-by-step approach and looking at the nuts and bolts of the process makes this achievable rather than just a talking point.The book has given me several strategies on ways I can use emerging technologies at work and has sparked creativity with new ideas at our company. Advanced topics such as sentiment analysis, building AI-powered PowerPoint presentations, and creating an event registration app with identity verification are covered in a way that showcases the Power Platform's versatility. The "Implementing an AI-Enabled Resume Screener" chapter is particularly relevant for streamlining hiring processes, while sections on using AI for crafting executive summaries and tagging images in SharePoint are both innovative and practical.While the content is mostly positive, a bit more depth in some areas would be welcome. For example, the event registration app chapter could delve into more advanced scenarios and potential challenges. Additionally, complete newbies to AI might find the pace a bit quick at times. One area that could use more attention is licensing. Understanding the nuances of licensing for these technologies is crucial, and a more in-depth discussion would have been helpful. However, the assignments and tasks provided throughout the book were helpful in guiding through a step-by-step process and the author does provide some helpful links for more info in sections that might have a bit less detail.Overall, "Power Platform and the AI Revolution" is a must-read for anyone wanting to stay ahead in AI-powered app development. Aaron Guilmette offers a comprehensive and practical guide that will help developers and “citizen-developers’ unlock the full potential of AI within the Power Platform.

This is a great book covering everything from introduction to AI services to publishing a generative AI-based bot, great for all skill levels! In just 13 chapters, this book is easy to read and comprehend and will advance your skillset and knowledge the AI revolution we are experiencing today. As a book worm, I've read a handful of Aaron's books, and this one is on the top shelf in my Power Platform collection. Be sure to check out the table of contents and see for yourself. FIVE STARS!

The practical examples that Aaron has painstakingly documented in Power Platform and the AI Revolution are a great way to navigate how to harness the importance of the new AI tools and how you can use them to create solutions within the Microsoft Power Platform.It is no mean feat to write a book about technologies that are constantly updating with ever-new and improved features, but Aaron does an admirable job by documenting low code / no code solutions that can be created by Microsoft Champions / Citizen Developers who understand M365 and Power Platform but struggle to see how they can combine to create practical solutions which can be used to enhance productivity within the business.
