Technical requirements
AI models (managed through AI Builder in the Power Platform) require access to the Microsoft Dataverse. If you’ve completed examples earlier in this book that required access to Dataverse, then you should have already met the requirements. If you haven’t created a Dataverse database yet, you can use the following process:
- Navigate to the Power Automate web portal (https://flow.microsoft.com).
- Expand AI Builder, and then select Explore:

- Select a Currency and a Language, and then select Create my database:
