Using AI to Build Tables and Fields in Dynamics 365 with PowerMakerAI’s AI Entity Builder & Visualizer (Tool Showcase)


Recently, I came across a very interesting tool called PowerMakerAI, developed by a fellow community member. I felt it’s worth sharing here because it directly helps us in one of the most common and time-consuming tasks — creating tables and fields in Dynamics 365.

Creating custom entities and fields in Microsoft Dynamics 365 is essential — but let’s be honest, it’s often tedious and time-consuming. Navigating through multiple forms, selecting field types, defining metadata, and ensuring consistency takes significant effort, especially for complex data models.

That’s where PowerMakerAI’s AI Entity Builder with Visualizer comes in.

🎯 What is the AI Entity Builder?

The AI Entity Builder is a natural language-powered tool that lets you create complete entity definitions by simply describing what you need — just like talking to a junior developer.

Instead of clicking through menus or filling out field properties manually, you can say:

“Create an entity called ‘Customer Feedback’ with fields for Name, Email, Rating (1-5), Comments, and Submitted On.”

PowerMakerAI understands your intent and instantly generates a complete schema, including:

  • Logical names
  • Display names
  • Field data types
  • Required levels
  • Primary field selection
  • Relationship suggestions (coming soon)

👁️ Visualizer: See What You’re Building — Instantly

One of the most powerful additions is the interactive schema visualizer.

Once your entity is generated, the visualizer shows you:

  • All attributes in a structured format
  • Field types (text, number, option set, date, etc.)
  • Required vs optional fields
  • Entity-level metadata
  • [Coming Soon] Relationships with other entities

You can drag, zoom, and explore your schema visually — no need to switch back and forth between the Dynamics UI and your schema documentation.

🧠 How It Works (Under the Hood)

PowerMakerAI uses a combination of:

  • Natural Language Understanding (NLU): To detect intent, field names, data types, and relationships.
  • CRM Schema Intelligence: Built-in logic that maps certain keywords to CRM field types (e.g., “status” = OptionSet, “submitted on” = DateTime).
  • Dynamic Validations: Prevents common issues like duplicate logical names or unsupported characters.

It then presents the results in human-readable formats.


⚡ Benefits

  • 🕒 Save Hours: No more manual field creation
  • 💬 Speak Requirements: Great for functional consultants too
  • 📦 Deployment-Ready: Export and import with minimal edits
  • 🧩 Visual Confidence: Know what you’re building before you build it
  • 👥 Perfect for Teams: Let non-technical users define schema, and devs just approve and deploy

🧪 Example Use Case

A marketing team wants a “Campaign Response” entity. Instead of submitting a spec document and waiting for dev time, they use PowerMakerAI:

“Create a Campaign Response entity with Contact, Campaign Name, Response Type (dropdown), Notes, and Created On.”

💡 In under 30 seconds, the entire entity is ready, visualized, and exportable.


🚧 Coming Soon

We’re just getting started. Upcoming features include:

  • 🔁 Relationship suggestions (1:N, N:N)
  • ✅ Auto-validation for solution compatibility
  • 📤 One-click push to your CRM environment
  • 🔄 Integration with PowerMakerAI’s chatbot for conversational updates
