Your company wants to use AI to analyze customer feedback from surveys and identify common themes. The solution should be built using Microsoft Power Platform. Which capability should you use?

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Power Virtual Agents with a topic
Why it's wrong here
Power Virtual Agents builds conversational chatbots that respond to user input, not analyse survey text for themes. It is tempting because it is the Power Platform's AI-facing component, but it handles dialogue, not unstructured feedback mining; AI Builder's text classification or sentiment analysis is the capability for extracting themes from survey responses.
- ✓
AI Builder
Why this is correct
AI Builder supplies prebuilt and custom AI models, including text classification and sentiment analysis, that can be invoked from Power Apps and Power Automate. It analyses survey feedback text and surfaces recurring themes without bespoke machine-learning development.
- ✗
Power BI with natural language queries
Why it's wrong here
Power BI with natural language queries lets users ask questions of existing data and visualise results; it does not perform AI theme extraction over unstructured survey text. It is tempting because it delivers analytics and insights, which would be correct for exploring structured datasets rather than deriving themes.
- ✗
Power Automate with a custom connector
Why it's wrong here
Power Automate orchestrates flows and connectors between services; it has no theme-extraction or text-analytics capability, so it cannot identify common themes from survey text. It is tempting because it integrates systems and triggers actions, which would be correct for routing feedback or invoking an external AI service.
