Discover how open-source thinking, practical licensing solutions, and AI-powered development are reshaping the way business and tech professionals build, protect, and scale technology on the Power Platform. Gain actionable insights on responsible AI adoption, developer productivity, and building trust through transparency. Check out this episode of AI Unfiltered Show with Florian Krönert.

🎙️What you’ll learn 

• How to protect intellectual property in Dataverse and Power Platform 
• Practical approaches to offline licensing using JSON Web Tokens 
• Strategies for using AI as a coding partner, not a replacement 
• The value of open-source tools for trust and transparency 
• Key differences between consulting and in-house tech roles 

✅ Highlights 

• “If you have an administrator who decides to mess with your logic to override your assemblies, there’s nothing to do against that.” 
• “Licenses are JSON web tokens which are signed by you digitally so that they can be stored offline, validated offline, and will work as seamlessly as possible.” 
• “I wanted to have a trust relationship with everyone who incorporates my solution.” 
• “You just install the NPM package. You insert some data that you can generate on the Yanis Guard portal.” 
• “I like it a lot for telling it ideas that I want to implement and how I want to implement it.” 
• “What turned out the best for me personally was to use AI like as a partner programming peer.” 
• “If I’m not able to really reliably reproduce what AI wrote for me, then I better not use it as much as I did before.” 
• “You are very nearer to your end users. The feedback is very direct and you really see where the pain points are for the end users of your product and your platform.” 
• “If you want to grind your way up fast, I can only recommend doing so. You can never learn as much in so little time as when doing it in big companies that have so many customers in parallel.”
