How to use it in Power Apps?

Is there any Sample for Power Apps to use ?

Is there any Sample for Power Apps to use ?

Would the use case here be a Canvas app that calls out to a function that hosts SK? Something else?

@xunyicjq , here are the steps, but there is some work for you to do to get it all setup:

1. Deploy Semantic Kernel to Azure
2. Once in Azure you need to create a Swagger / OpenAPI spec for the Kernel and for the skills you want to use in Power Apps / Power Automate (You can use API Management for this)
3. On the go to the API definition tab - if you deployed Semantic Kernel as a web app and put in the URL to the JSON for the Swagger definition. There is a button on that page that will create you a custom connector.
4. Go to Power Apps or Power Automate and select the environment you pushed the custom connector to
5. Create a new app or flow and use that custom connector. You should be able to pass the ask over and get results.

When you say "Deploy Semantic Kernel to Azure", how exactly would you do this? What resource type would host SK?

Thank you

[evchaki]

You can do it this way - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/how-to-deploy-semantic-kernel-to-azure-as-a-web-application-service/ or this way https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/how-to-deploy-semantic-kernel-to-azure-in-minutes/ - depending on your needs.

Ah, ok. I like the option of hosting SK as an API using an Azure Function. (Your second option).

Thanks for the write up.

@evchaki How can I integrate power app dataverse endpoint as skill into semantic kernel?

[evchaki]

you will need to call the end point to your Dataverse environment and grab the API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/webapi/query-data-web-api) from that. You can try to use the OpenAPI skill (https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/main/dotnet/src/Skills/Skills.OpenAPI) we have.

Actually, I would like to implement a semantic copilot chat. It should be able to look into the data of Dataverse and provide me with the answer. Additionally, I would like to integrate other skills, such as MS-Graph and other unstructured data from documents. Could you please guide me on how to implement this? Do you have any blogs or references that I can refer to?

[evchaki]

Perfect, start with our copilot chat starter app (https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/main/samples/apps/copilot-chat-app & https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/samples-and-solutions/copilot-chat). You can see how we are calling out to other connectors in the app.

[pschandekar09]

Yes, I have already run that sample application on my local machine. Now, I want to explore more on integrating Power Apps, Dataverse, MS Graph, etc. So please guide me on this how to integrate it.
