Featured Presentation: No‑Friction AI: Turn Your Classic Power Apps into Smart Agents in Days, not Months
Tuesday June 10, 2025 2:00pm - 2:15pm EDT
Union Hall- Beer Hall (2nd floor)
Power Platform developers don’t have to “learn Python overnight” to ship agent‑powered apps. By combiningchild‑flow reusability in Power Automate, SharePoint lists & libraries as a lightweight data layer, and the new Azure AI Foundry Agent Service connector, you can graft large‑language‑model intelligence onto the skills you already use every day—no extra DevOps pipeline or pro‑code stack required. This session shows exactly how we’ve done it in production: modular agents for intake, routing, and summarization, snapped together like LEGO® bricks and surfaced in Teams, Power Apps, or even headless agents.
