AI has evolved beyond a simple tool for assistance and has become a dynamic force driving business transformation. Over the past year, generative AI adoption among business leaders and decision-makers has soared from 55% to 75%<\/a>, and the momentum continues to build. AI models have become faster, more efficient, and more specialized, enabling them to handle a vast range of tasks\u2014from writing and coding to advanced reasoning and problem-solving. With powerful capabilities like the o1 model in Azure OpenAI Service<\/a>, these frontier models can analyze complex problems, structure logical steps, and generate responses that closely resemble human decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, mastering how to instruct AI models effectively is now crucial to unlocking tangible results and boosting productivity in the AI age. New tools are emerging that empower users to fully leverage AI\u2019s potential. One such tool is the AI Prompt Builder<\/a>, an advanced capability included in Copilot Studio<\/a> and Power Automate<\/a>. This feature allows users to craft precise instructions and choose the most suitable model for each task, whether automating information extraction from e-mails using GPT-4o mini or enabling agents to analyze customer feedback with o1 to identify pain points. Through this prompt engineering interface, organizations can customize AI to behave exactly as needed for their unique business scenarios.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI Prompts provide structured instructions that guide large language models (LLMs) to perform specific tasks. This technique, known as instruction tuning, allows businesses to optimize AI-generated responses for more precise, relevant, and useful outputs. By clarifying directives, instruction tuning reduces ambiguity and enhances consistency across automated and agentic workflows. With AI Prompts, organizations can also ground models in their enterprise data\u2014respecting runtime user permissions and data policies\u2014so they can securely draw insights from internal resources. By carefully crafting prompts, businesses can extract higher-value insights, automate complex processes, and improve AI alignment with organizational goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are excited to announce that AI Prompts<\/a> can now leverage the o1 model in Copilot Studio<\/strong>, unlocking even more advanced reasoning capabilities for your AI-driven workflows. For instance, imagine a customer support scenario in which agents need to analyze complex troubleshooting data\u2014like error logs or past support tickets\u2014to pinpoint the root cause of an issue. By tapping into o1\u2019s powerful logic and step-by-step reasoning, agents can rapidly identify patterns, suggest tailored solutions, and offer clear next steps for resolution. This enhanced approach not only streamlines support operations but also elevates the overall customer experience. The advanced reasoning o1 model in AI Prompt Builder, currently in private preview, will be available to all customers in March.<\/p>\n\n\n AI prompts leverage several key features to create specialized AI-powered functions. They include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more details on leveraging these features to craft effective prompts, download our Prompt Guide<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n AI Prompts enable an endless number of scenarios and can apply to a multitude of industries and processes. Some of the most common use cases our customers are implementing include: <\/p>\n\n\n\nAI Prompts provide structured instructions to improve AI results<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
