# What is Power Platform?

Power Platform is a set of **tools,** **API**'s and **SDK**'s that helps you **analyze your data** and build **automations,** **applications** and **virtual agents** with or without having to write any code.

### What are Power Apps?

Power Apps is a set of tools that allows you to create applications with a drag and drop UI and easy integration of your data and 3rd party APIs through connectors.  

A [**connector**](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/connectors?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) is a proxy or a wrapper around an API that allows the underlying service to talk to Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Power Apps, and Azure Logic Apps. It provides a way for users to connect their accounts and leverage a set of pre-built **actions** and **triggers** to build their apps and workflows. For example, you can use [Twitter connector](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/twitter/?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) to get tweet data and visualize it in a dashboard or use [Twilio connector](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/twilio/?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) to send your users text messages without having to be an expert in Twitter or Twilio APIs or having to write a line of code. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Check out the[ list of connectors for Power Apps](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/connector-reference/connector-reference-powerapps-connectors?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) to see all the APIs that are available. Notice [Power Automate](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/connector-reference/connector-reference-powerautomate-connectors?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) or [Logic App connectors](https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/connector-reference/connector-reference-logicapps-connectors?WT.mc_id=aiml-8438-ayyonet) might not be the same.

### What is AI Builder?

**AI Builder** is one of the additional features of Power Apps. With AI Builder, you can **add intelligence to your apps** even if you have no coding or data science skills.

#### What are some of the use cases for AI Builder?

You can use pre-trained models to:

* **Detect** **objects** from images
* **Analyze** your customers **sentiment** from feedback
* Detect **keywords** from text
* **Extract** **specific** **information** about your business from text

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.xrdev.app/mixed-reality-docs/ai-lessons/fundamental-ai-concepts/project/how-to-create-an-application-with-ai-whiteout-coding/what-is-power-platform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
