Reviewer's verdict

A useful, free 40-minute tour of a specific feature. It won't teach you prompt engineering, but it shows you exactly where to click to make AI Builder generate text in a flow.

Who it's for

Power Platform users curious about the text generation block

Who should skip it

Developers looking for direct OpenAI API integration

Pros

  • Quick, hands-on intro to the text generation feature
  • No setup required, all happens in the browser
  • Connects the dots between the Azure OpenAI model and a usable Power Automate flow

Cons

  • Feels more like a product tour than a deep tutorial
  • The 'Create your own instruction' part is very basic
  • Skips over any discussion of cost or token limits in a real production environment

You just click through a guided template. First, pick “Summarize text,” paste in some boilerplate, and watch the flow work. Then you do the same thing again, but inside a Power App. It’s a fast demo of where the text generation block lives, not a real lesson on using it well. The 'Create your own instruction' part is just one text box with zero guidance on what makes a good prompt.

For a free 40-minute module, it’s fine. It confirms the button exists and that it's wired up to Azure OpenAI. But there's no real learning. You don't write code, debug anything, or learn prompt engineering. It's basically a slightly more interactive version of a documentation page. Good for a quick feature overview, but that's it.
