>> Thank you Satya,
and thank you Eric for coming
out to share your story with us today.
>> Okay.
>> Tell us just a little bit about G&J Pepsi.
>> Yeah. G&J Pepsi is
the largest family-owned bottler in the Pepsi system.
>> Okay.
>> We have about 1,600 employees in Kentucky and Ohio.
>> Okay. So private company regional focus here in the US,
tell us how you're using AI in the context of PowerApps.
>> Yeah. You know Ryan, I'd rather
show you then I can talk about it.
>> All right. You want to see it? Let's do it.
>> Let's give the people what they want.
So we live and die
by counting our retail space. It's really important.
>> Okay.
>> So we do a lot of counting,
we do a lot of auditing,
and that's a time-consuming process.
>> I imagine.
>> With this application we can offload a lot of that workload.
>> Okay.
>> So I'm going to go ahead and do this. It's really simple.
So I'm just going to go ahead and hit "Detect" on here,
and we're going to take a file so,
I'm going to take a picture
We've got some beautiful bottles of Mountain Dew here.
>> I'm thirsty already.
>> Me too.
>> Yes bro.
>> So I'm going to go and take this photo,
and we're going to go ahead and do this.
I want you to think about this as scale.
>> Right.
>> So just have a couple of Mountain Dew bottles here.
>> Yeah.
>> We have hundreds of products,
thousands of customers, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Could imagine the time that it takes.
>> That's a lot of manual counting if you're doing it on a clipboard.
>> Yeah, absolutely right.
It's a Herculean effort to do this.
>> Sure.
>> But as you can see the application has done this for us.
>> Wow.
>> We can go ahead and submit these records and
then we can analyze the sales and do a lot with that.
>> That's amazing but level with me here.
What does it take to really put something like this together?
You got to have an army of
software developers, data scientists, right?
>> No. On the contrary Ryan,
when we first got into the Power platform we
had two individuals working on scenarios like this,
none of which had any professional development experience.
>> One of those individuals is you?
>> Yes, surprise. That's why I'm here.
>> Yeah.
>> But let's make no mistake Ryan.
The competition isn't going to let up just because we don't have
the tools or the skill sets to be
able to bring these scenarios to life,
and that's what we've seen the Power platform be
the great equalizer and allow
us to compete and win in the marketplace.
>> So the great equalizer,
I think a lot of us in this room could
use an equalizer regardless how big it is.
>> Yeah. Absolutely.
>> So can you show us a little bit of what it
takes to actually build with AI?
>> Yeah, let's do it. So I've got these pictures already uploaded.
Here's what's great about this Ryan.
It's as easy as drawing a box.
>> I could do that.
>> I would hope so. Yeah, absolutely.
So I'm just going to simply tag it and then what's
great about this is it'll auto box for you
and you can just quickly tag these images in a very rapid fashion.
>> Awesome.
>> Then when you're done, you can simply hit "Train".
>> Okay.
>> Then it's going to present you with a confidence score.
>> Cool.
>> If you're not comfortable with it,
you can add more images,
you can do more tagging, Ryan.
>> Yeah.
>> So you're ready and then
submit your model to be published into an app.
>> Cool. So you upload a bunch of images,
you tag, and we train the model you feel good.
How do you actually put it on a mobile device?
>> This is great.
The process gets even easier.
>> Okay.
>> When we do this. I know it's
hard to believe but it gets even easier.
I'm going to go ahead and go to
my maker screen here, my maker Canvas,
and I'm going to go ahead and just click on the "AI Builder
Control" add the object detector,
and then I'm just going to simply resize this to where I
want and then bind that to my model and we're ready to go.
>> You're ready, that's amazing.
So you're just visually building
an AI infused application right in front of your eyes.
>> Yeah.
>> That's impressive. How many people out there can take
an AI project from a pile of photos?
That's impressive. But you know what?
There's more. You mind if I cut it?
>> I don't like to give up the stage but it's all yours.
>> See detecting objects in images is just one thing that
AI builder can do at
PowerApps.com right now for anybody out there.
We can also classify texts,
understand, and tag meaning in any blob of words,
we can predict outcomes,
any yes or no answer,
any column on any entity in your common data service.
Will we get paid on time?
Will the customer convert?
Will the customer churn?
Really common business scenarios we can predict.
This one is particularly cool.
We can process any physical form,
piece of paper, PDF, you name it.
Now, I know you've been building a lot of apps but there's
probably a few sheets of paper still in your business.
>> We're still churning through that. Yeah.
>> I bet you're not the only one,
the invoices, work orders,
purchase orders, they're everywhere.
AI builder can understand and lift facts right off of the page,
not just the characters, what they mean.
This is a due date, this is
a table with quantity and units and price,
this is a subtotal sales tax,
the actual quantity, and totals,
and then lift that all right into
the common data service and build it
into all of the processes we use downstream.
So we can build apps like you showed us,
we can also automate business processes.
Let me show you a Microsoft Flow.
So we've counted bottles on the shelf.
Now, we're ordering more inventory,
every time an order hits an inbox.
We can lift that order out,
understand the products, and the line items in the quantities,
and then further use AI builder to predict,
how likely are we to be able to fill
that order on time based on past performance?
If the answer is no, we can actually kick off
an approval process downstream
and get that order filled ramp up production on time,
and build that into everything
people are already using whether that's
another mobile app or into the Microsoft 365 experience.
In this case, we're going to drop
that actionable approval card right into
Microsoft Teams approve it where
people are already working and be on our way.
All of this, everything we've shown you,
not a single line of code.
>> That's incredible.
>> That's the power of
the platform that's driving
tech intensity at the largest family-owned
Pepsi bottler in Ohio and Kentucky and thousands of organizations,
large and small around the planet right now.
The question to this room is,
where will you take it next?
