Scott’s expert experiences provide valuable guidance for anyone who is learning to develop their own PCF components and highlights things to be aware of if you’re working with other people, like developments teams, partners, or ISVs. 

By using custom PCF controls for high-traffic and high-value user interfaces, being on track with efficiency updates like virtual controls, and evaluating the total cost of ownership of third-party vs in-house development, app makers can effectively harness the power of PCF controls and create deeply tailored and efficient UI in Power Apps.  

Summary: 

• Know when to use PCF controls – choose high-frequency and high-value
• Use virtual PCF controls to boost your app performance 
• Understand your data binding method
• Use Fluent 9 to align with the rollout across Power Apps 
• Balance customization and maintenance  
• Don’t skip performance testing 

Know when to use PCF controls – choose high frequency and high value 

PCF controls are the key to providing Power Apps with highly customized user interface features, enabling developers to create rich, custom UI features.  

Scott says app makers ought to discern whether they actually need them. 

He suggests using native functionality within Power Apps before reaching for PCF controls. “Push it as far as you possibly can. See how far you can possibly get with the native functionality that you get in Power Apps and Power Pages; it is such a rich environment.” 

He thinks that PCF controls should be used strategically – in high-traffic functionality and high-value user experiences. Their greatest value comes in high-frequency tasks where efficiency is crucial.  

“There might be one area in your app where you’re editing, updating, or visualizing data multiple times a day, and the efficiency of using that user interface is key,” he explained. 

Custom PCF controls are game changers that lead to better user adoption and satisfaction.

Use PAC CLI to enable PCFs in Canvas apps  

Before using PCF controls in Canvas apps, you must enable them in the Power Platform admin center. 

“Instead of doing it manually, you can install the Power Platform tools inside VS code and you can use Pack Env command to make an automated script to do it for every new environment,” said Scott.  

This method ensures consistency, reduces errors, and speeds up deployment, especially in enterprise environments. 

Use virtual PCF controls to boost your app performance 

One of the key technical advancements Scott discussed was the introduction of virtual PCF controls. These controls ensure more efficient rendering and quicker apps. 

“Virtual controls share React and Fluent libraries, so they’re loaded only once because they’re part of the platform anyway, and each code component reuses those React and Fluent libraries,” says Scott. 

Previously, PCF controls required each component to include its own copy of React or Fluent UI, slowing down performance. Virtual PCF controls eliminate this issue by allowing all components to share a single instance of these libraries. This reduces load times and memory usage, making applications more responsive. 

“You can use a framework parameter from a shared library to automatically create the scaffolding. Rather than returning HTML from your component, you would return a React component – which is a more modern way of working,” he added. 

Virtual PCF controls were in preview and have now reached general availability. Watch the full webinar to get Scott’s full breakdown.  

Understand your data binding method 

When you need complete control over data handling in a PCF control, or when using one from someone else, understanding its data binding method is key.  

By default, Power Apps and Power Pages handle two-way data binding, automatically syncing data between Dataverse and other connectors. 

For greater control, developers can bypass this and call the Dataverse Web API, enabling precise CRUD operations. “If you have an application where performance is really important, and you want to be very clear about how you get data – and how you update data – then the web API then gives you this ability.” 

Whether building or using a PCF control, knowing if it relies on automatic binding or API calls is essential for performance and maintainability. 

Use Fluent 9 to align with the rollout across Power Apps 

Scott highlighted the importance of aligning PCF controls with Power Platform’s Fluent UI standards to maintain a consistent look and feel.  

“With Fluent version 9 rolling out across Power Apps, it’s important to ensure that your PCF controls use the latest Fluent styles to look native inside the platform.” 

Balance customization and maintenance 

Scott stressed the need to weigh the benefits of building custom PCF controls against the total cost of ownership. He warned that reusable components require ongoing maintenance and compatibility testing.  

“Every time you reuse something, it introduces an additional cost… if you’re going to build a reusable component, then you have to take on that responsibility of making sure that you’re going to test it every time.” 

For organizations considering third-party or open-source PCF controls, Scott advised due diligence. While resources such as the PCF Gallery provide many examples and open-source components, they often lack official support, required for enterprise apps. Maintained third-party libraries provide more support and handle the maintenance.  

“PCF Gallery is a great way to learn because most controls link to GitHub repositories where you can see the source code. But remember, open-source PCFs often don’t come with official support, so you’re on your own if something breaks.” 

You’re going to have to figure out where you sit in this spectrum of ownership you’re going to have to take– you can build your own PCF and manage the testing, regression testing and maintenance. You can use PCFs from Microsoft, or paid libraries, like Resco Power Components, which gives you more support and handles the testing and maintenance for you, or you can use open source, but make sure you’re checking the code and that you generally know what you’re doing.  

When deciding, it is important to understand the implications and the total cost of ownership.  

Don’t skip performance testing  

Performance testing is important particularly when deploying PCF controls in large-scale applications.  

“In development, where we’ve got 10 test records, it’s okay… but how many records do we have in production? We have 10,000 records. How is it going to work for that?”  

Thinking about this early on is essential for ensuring that PCF controls function smoothly under real-world conditions. 

Final thoughts  

PCF controls have come a long way. They started out in model-driven apps and then spread throughout the Power Platform. They are now an integral part of the platform.  

“Before PCF, the only way was to embed web resources and use iframes. There was always a glaring difference between the user and the interface you would get. The great thing is, with PCF, the users don’t see a difference. The job is so much easier now and you can make things look amazing. The sky is the limit. I think that’s the real power of PCF,” says Scott.  

And that’s it! You made it to the end of the article!

It was great to host this year’s Resco Next in Vienna and discuss the direction our industry is taking with our fellow enterprise app professionals.  

Attendees were welcomed by Andrew Lorraine, who introduced key insights, opportunities and trends shaping our space. If you did not make it to Vienna this year, read this blog to get the main takeaways from his keynote.   

Only one-third of frontline professionals have sufficient apps for work

Frontline professionals are not experiencing productivity gains at the same rate as other sectors. Only about a third are satisfied with their tech tools and applications. If you dig into it, you will find that productivity for frontline workers is more than just efficiency and technology.  

“There’s a human factor that matters when you’re trying to help people become more productive, and it’s their experience with technology. Companies that understand this and prioritize and invest in their frontline technology end up being more productive,“ said Andrew.  

When frontline workers are provided with technological tools to support them in performing their jobs, productivity is estimated to increase on average by 22%, with an overall bottom-line growth of more than 20%.  

Mobile Solutions for verticals are a great opportunity for partners  

Given the significant gap in sufficient productivity tools for frontline workers, Resco’s solutions offer an important opportunity for partners. Resco provides the necessary tools to enhance frontline productivity and drive financial growth.

Both the Mobile App Development Toolkit and the Mobile Solutions are tools for partners to build their own industry verticals and build new income streams.   

The pre-built white-label solutions for property and energy industries can be used as a base for partners’ own solutions. “They come with a model-driven Power App that’s enhanced with Resco tools. This allows organizations or partners to take advantage of the great capabilities and innovations on the Power Platform,“ said Andrew.  

Some partners have already been successful in creating a strong income stream based on our solutions. Read more about Johnathan Taub and his FIELDBOSS solution for HVAC companies or Tom Moortgat’s Fearless Leader solution for pharma sales.  

We have added a new solution to our offering, Resco Inspections+ Property, which allows users to schedule visits, inspect properties, gather data, report, and analyze field data.  

Power Platform is the next space for frontline enterprise apps and AI innovation 

Power Platform has evolved into a strategic tool for building enterprise apps, gaining interest from Resco Next attendees. From 100 of the enterprise app professionals asked, two-thirds of them expect to develop most of their apps on the Power Platform by 2025.* 

We are excited to contribute our expertise to it. “Thanks to our experience and the 1.2 million lines of code we have written for mobile CRM apps, we can add value to partners and customers building apps on it,” said Andrew.  

During the keynote, Andrew was joined on stage by Microsoft’s Principal Cloud Advocate, April Dunnam, who spoke more in-depth about how Power Platform can significantly decrease the time it takes to build a solution. She invited ISVs to contribute their expertise to the platform.  

“We really need ISVs in the Power Platform space to innovate and specialize. There are going to be gaps in the product where we need to be able to extend the out-of-the-box experiences, and that’s where ISVs are strategically placed to help,” said April. 

Resco Power Solutions enable partners to build faster 

Following April Dunnam’s insights about the growing opportunities on Power Platform, Resco is proud to be an early adopter of this innovative space. We offer Power Solutions and Power Components to help partners build business solutions more quickly and with less maintenance. 

Resco’s Power Solutions provide a comprehensive framework that includes essential functionalities for data collection or document generation, allowing app makers to focus on tailoring their applications to specific business needs without starting from scratch. This not only accelerates the development process but also ensures consistency and reliability. 

Our Power Components are pre-built modules that can be easily integrated into apps, offering capabilities such as image gallery, Kanban board, tree view, or file upload. These components reduce the development effort and time significantly, enabling partners to deliver robust solutions faster. 

A new class of software solutions  

We encourage our partners to leverage the full suite of Microsoft Business Applications and Resco technology to provide users with a great experience and seize opportunities.  

“We want to create a new class of software solutions for frontline workers and supply the booming market out there, and an opportunity for all of us,” said Andrew Lorraine.  

Curious to see how it all develops? Let’s talk about it in 2025 at the next Resco Next.

Príspevok Know before you go – Resco Next Vienna – 2024 zobrazený najskôr Resco.

Resco Power Components are designed for app creators to make building business apps on the Power Platform faster and easier.

They are made for consultants, developers, and solution architects—who craft model-driven and canvas apps for their clients in low-code / no-code. Code components allow app makers to add a wide range of functionality to their apps immediately without needing to wait for and budget for custom code from developers.

This makes project delivery more efficient, letting app makers digitize processes quickly and be more productive with ease.  

What are Power Components?

First batch based on popular demand

Based on popular demand, we have selected the first batch of essential tools – an image gallery, Kanban board, video player, signature area, multi-select dropdown list, and a calendar picker.

The Resco Power Components are customizable, meaning that app makers will be able to use them for more than one use case. Instead of having to code components in JS from scratch, app makers will be able to use our components and configure them as they need to without needing to code. Using the configuration section doesn’t require code knowledge.

Each code component can be used for different business use cases. For example, you can use the Kanban board for managing tasks or to build a sales funnel – depending on the data you map it on.

Working with a well-managed library of code components takes care of security concerns as well as maintenance issues. We plan to develop the components continuously, extending their features where needed and adding more components to the library.

Benefits of using Resco Power Components:

• Speed up project delivery to clients
• Save costs on developer hours and custom coding
• Guarantee security, quality, and future compatibility of code
• Build components compliant with Power Apps licensing

It is a spacious and comfortable hotel with plenty of casual spaces to meet and talk. The hotel is located in Leopoldstadt, the second district of Vienna, near the famous Prater amusement park.  

Courtyard by Marriott is also the official hotel of the NFL. A gym and a sauna are available to all guests.

The theme of the conference 

Resco Next 2024 will look at the state of enterprise app development. We are working hard on bringing you the best domain experts, thorough case studies and inspiring speakers. More information about the sessions, speakers, and a full agenda will be revealed soon.

What awaits you in Vienna?  

A lot of inspiration, we hope! Vienna is a truly magnificent city to walk around with many cozy restaurants, iconic cafes and rooftop bars with gorgeous views. It is the ideal backdrop for conversations and networking.

Here is a short overview of what you can find there:  

Innere Stadt (City Center) 

When in Vienna, you should not miss a walk through the historic center. You can walk along the historic buildings of Hofburg, the Art History and Natural History Museums, Stephansplatz and many beautiful palaces. If you’re up for a more challenging walk, walk all the way up to the Gloriette and enjoy a beautiful view of the whole city.

A true metropole, Vienna has many well-kept city parks, such as the Stadtpark, where everyone meets to enjoy some good weather. 

Vienna has a great transportation system, so any of the main parts are easily reachable by metro or tram.  

Café culture  

When you get tired of walking around, stop by for some refreshment at one of Vienna’s iconic cafes. Austrians are notorious for doting on the quality of their desserts, but you can also get a savory snack, or a schnitzel, at most of the cafes. 

Take a run in Prater  

Why not have a bit of fun? Head to the Prater and take a ride on the “Wiener Riesenrad” – a famous Ferris wheel from 1897. The old amusement park is close to our venue, has retro and new rides and is a popular spot with the locals. Runners also like to frequent the spot. 

MuseumsQuartier  

The modern art scene is centered around Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, where you will find the Leopold Museum, Museum of Modern Art (MUMOK), street art and lots of people enjoying a cool drink or espresso.

Read the story of Kate, an administration manager at an elevator service company that went through digital transformation. 

Many companies still rely on paper documents. They know all too well that paper is not effective, and the process is frustrating. However, digitization is daunting.  

Managers fear digitization will be time-consuming and expensive, requiring frequent maintenance. They also fear slow adoption rates that prolong the process.  

The good news is that digital transformation is becoming less demanding with the advent of low-code platforms. 

Digital transformation changes (work) lives  

In recent years, companies are increasingly choosing to build on Microsoft Power Platform. This platform cuts costs and development time with low-code tools. We at Resco make building on Power Platform even easier with our Power Solutions that enhance the core Power Platform experience. With tools like this, the decision to digitize becomes much less distressing. 

To show you how technology for business applications can change lives, let us introduce you to Kate, an admin manager. Observe her day-to-day work before and after the elevator service company she works for went through multiple steps of digital transformation. 

Love watching more than reading? Watch Ludovit Bobula, Product Manager at Resco tell Kate’s story. 

It’s hard to keep track of paper documents 

Kate’s job is to keep all the inspection questionnaires in the company up to date and available for technicians in the field.  

Whenever there is an update, she needs to make sure all the inspectors are using the latest version.  

Despite Kate’s efforts, many technicians do not use the updated questionnaires; when they do, many still use the old questionnaire paper sheets. After completing a job, they must file job records with Kate, yet they often do not. This is obviously frustrating for Kate.  

Seeing Kate struggle, the company decides that digitizing the entire process will be a good idea. 

For business technology people like us at Resco, this is an exciting day. Now our technology can help someone make their work better. 

Managing changes to the questionnaires 

Kate’s company found an implementation partner. They recommended digitizing the questionnaires using Power Platform.  

In Kate’s field, the legislation often changes. This makes it necessary to make changes to many of the questionnaires at once. The implementation partner needed to ensure that Kate can access and change the documents on her own, without needing to reach out to an administrator or consultant with every single request. 

This is why they chose Resco Forms+. This solution allows business users to design their questionnaires in a drag and drop interface. Whenever Kate wants to make a change, she opens the Questionnaire Designer, changes the questions, publishes her changes and all the technicians have access to the updated document instantly on their mobile devices. 

The implementation took a couple of months. The adoption was quick – thanks to Resco Forms+, the digital questionnaires are easy to work with for the field technicians and they can use them on any mobile device.

Resco Forms+ has helped Kate to keep all the company’s elevator inspection forms updated and organized in one place. If she needs something more advanced, she can ask the partner to set it up. 

Discover Resco Forms+

Generating inspection summaries, contracts, and invoices 

Now that Kate has the most tedious work process sorted out, she can look at other types of paperwork that pass through her hands – namely service reports, contracts, and invoices. 

She needs to go through collected data, complete what is missing and manually create all these documents. To do it, she copies information from various sources and pastes them into a Word template. She then emails the document to a client or stores it in a folder.  

That is the old system, and many people still use it. But digitization with a good implementation partner can offer a much more comfortable and efficient system.  

Kate’s implementation partner recommended using Resco Docs+. This solution automates document generation and delivery in Power Platform. 

Kate can design her invoices, contracts, and reports, and set up Power Automate to fill them with data from Dataverse. She can then set up the PDFs to be generated, saved and/or sent to any place she chooses. 

For example, she can design a finished work order report, and then have it automatically generated every month and sent to her and her department leader. Resco Docs+ on Power Platform saves Kate time and effort spent on repetitive, tedious tasks. 

Discover Resco Docs+

Providing guidance for technicians where and when they need it 

The final problem Kate deals with is sharing knowledge between inspectors. As in many organizations they use Words, PDFs, and Share Point.  

Kate, as the administrator, is responsible for keeping these documents updated, yet she is not out in the field. If something changes, she might not know about it. 

The implementation partner suggested using Resco Steps+ on Power Platform. With this solution, Kate can build a knowledge library with step-by-step instruction guides. She can enhance the text with images and videos and make the guides available on frontline worker mobile devices. Thanks to the digital guides, Kate has been able to lower error rate and speed up onboarding.

Discover Resco Steps+

Everything in one ecosystem 

Resco Power Solutions are ideal for a company like Kate’s – one that has both office and frontline workers and needs the documents, inspection forms, invoices, and training materials to be available in a reliable and accessible system. 

Kate can now incorporate any changes and legal requirements without having to wait. Although she is not a developer, she can use no-code tools to set everything up. And if she has advanced requests, she can always reach out to her implementation partner.  

These are just the first steps in digital transformation. Imagine how many more ways there are to cut the tedious tasks and concentrate on ideas with real impact. Taking these first steps in digitizing workflows allows a company like Kate’s to harness the power of AI. By feeding it with relevant data, Kate and her co-workers will get insights they can use to make strategic decisions.  

Everyone’s workday is a bit better, thanks to well-performing technology.  

This is the kind of thing that makes us happy at Resco.

Ben Vollmer has recently joined Resco’s team as the Strategic Advisor. He brings a wealth of experience from his tenure at industry-leading companies, IFS and Microsoft, both leaders in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Customer Experience, Field Service, and Enterprise Resource Planning.  

We sat down to explore the future of business applications and discussed his perception of the role of AI technology and the needs of future generations of frontline workers. Read Ben’s take on the areas where business applications could do more for the people using them. 

The role of AI in tech

Ben Vollmer shared his perspective on artificial intelligence, emphasizing that AI will become critically important when it empowers people to make better decisions instead of replacing them.

“The best examples that are available right now are anomaly detection, next logical purchase suggestions, and optical character recognition. With Large Language Models being rapidly developed, the ability to distill information into knowledge will be a critical thing that will be used to help enhance experiences for frontline workers.”

Ben emphasized the need to expand AI beyond the office and use it to meet the unique demands of deskless workers.

“So far, AI is benefiting only desktop workers. A huge technological focus shift from desktop workers to frontline workers needs to happen. We are caught up in servicing desktop workers because it is easy. They have internet all the time! In the next couple of years, the whole industry will improve in looking at mobile workers as well. “

The next thing Ben Vollmer sees taking off is interactive AI – the ability of apps to talk to and use other apps. We have too many applications on our phones that act in a silo and don’t and won’t exchange data with other applications. “Our users don’t just use one app on their phone. We have to make sure we have an amazing end-to-end process and exchange to benefit the people who use the software.”

Using AI is too challenging for people without a technical background. “In a desktop scenario, some of Microsoft’s Copilot innovations are very impressive. You can go in and start describing what you want, and it starts building it for you. But it still needs you to be able to articulate your needs quite precisely.

Only when non-technical people feel comfortable using automation scripts will it happen for the rest of the world. There is a ton of work to do here,” he added. “It has helped with knowledge work but has yet to help with non-knowledge work.”

Micro-verticals and super apps

When looking at the market, Ben Vollmer sees two dominant trends emerging. “The biggest trend I see going across the market is micro-vertical. People no longer want to buy something that is ‘for manufacturing.’ That is too broad of a topic. They say: ‘I want just discrete industrial manufacturing,’ or ‘I want sales for my business.’ So, then you get start seeing business apps specifically for micro verticals to meet specific needs while fitting inside a company’s overall IT landscape.”

“I have seen a lot of people deploying just things that help drive their business and solve specific problems. They don’t want to wait for three years for the development cycle.”

Another trend Ben Vollmer described is the rise of the super app. “It is something that matches everybody’s needs. You can use it to do everything you want to. For instance – take iMessage on the iPhone. They have one of the world’s largest banks with the Apple Card. You can send money over iMessage. You can interact in rich ways, which means you never leave iMessage. Your iPhone has become a super app. 

Other examples are Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WhatsApp, the social platform X, and WeChat. In China, WeChat is used for everything, including financial transactions. The development of business apps usually copies the development of consumer apps. So, you must look at consumer apps as the path to look down.”

So many apps think their user interface is the one seen by the customers. But as we have seen with Teams, Zoom, and WeChat, we need to work to make sure we can engage with our end users in a way that makes sense for them. 

Designing for new generations of workers

When asked what should guide solution architects when designing solutions, Ben replied that they should focus on exercising their sense of empathy.

“Where I live, we have a food chain called Waffle House. They make all their office workers go out and spend at least one day a month in the restaurant. The biggest thing for solution architects, for companies, is to have empathy for the end user. It is easy to say: I go to the office daily. This is what work feels like for me. They should always go out and sit with people. To understand how they work and how they operate.”

Where does Ben Vollmer look for trends? Not in the rearview mirror. “You have to look at people and what they need.” 

Ben Vollmer has over 25 years of experience in product management. After spending 14 years at Microsoft heralding Field Service, he joined IFS to enable customers to maximize the three moments of service: customers, people, and assets. He has joined Resco as a Strategic Advisor to the Board and the CEO and continues working as an independent consultant for technology companies.

We have put together a summary of all the best spots in the city to make sure you have a great experience at resco.NEXT this fall. Don’t forget to download our event app to have all important conference information easily accessible on your phone. Download it from App Store or Google Play Store.

Let’s take a look at the weather forecast first. Costa del Sol is Spain’s sunniest spot. You can expect great weather with temperatures at approximately 20 – 25 degrees Celsius (70 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Perfect for a run and a refreshing swim in the hotel pool or sea afterwards. Our annual pre-conference run is on the agenda on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.  

Now, onto some practical information to make sure you know your way around.  

Airport transport and hotel information  

The conference will be held at the recently opened Hard Rock Hotel Marbella from Oct. 23 – Oct. 25, 2023.  

Malaga Airport is the closest international airport in the area. An Uber/Bolt taxi ride from the airport takes about 40 –50 minutes if there are no traffic jams. It is also possible to take a bus from Terminal 3.  

About the hotel  

The Hard Rock Hotel is located within walking distance of the Puerto Banús Marina. You can take a short walk along the shops, taxi, or subway to reach the beachfront.   

Favorite attractions in Marbella: Old Town and Puerto Banús 

Old Town: Plaza de los Naranjos  

The plaza dates from 1485; it is an area that was created to be the city’s urban hub. It is framed by typical white Andalusian houses and historic buildings. In the center of the plaza is a Renaissance fountain surrounded by orange trees, from which the square now takes its name.  

It has a lovely atmosphere ideal for a light lunch or tapas dinner in the old heart of the city.  

Plaza de Los Naranjos on Google Maps

Old Town: Parque de la Alameda

Located next to the Old Town is the Alameda Park with ceramic benches, which offer rest in the shade after exploring. It dates to the 18^th century with a wide variety of botanical species, two large promenades and a beautiful, tiled fountain. 

Parque de la Alameda on Google Maps

If you want to explore further, you can stroll down to Avenida del Mar Promenade, which features outdoor sculptures by Salvador Dali. 

Puerto Banús and beautiful beaches  

Walk along the promenade of this beach and see the whole marina of Puerto Banús with all its palm trees, cafés, shops, and restaurants. Next to the marina are two of the most popular beaches in Marbella, Río Verde and Duque. 

The City Council works hard to maintain the 27 kilometer-long coastline and has earned nine Blue Flag Certificates for their cleanliness and services. 

Puerto Banús on Google Maps

Artola Dunes and Cabopino Beach  

For all its seaside glamour, Marbella is surrounded by lush and beautiful nature that is well preserved. You can take a long walk on the boardwalks built to protect the natural Artola Sand Dunes and go for a swim at the Capobino Beach close by.  

Artola Dunes on Google Maps

The cuisine and restaurants in Marbella: seafood, steak and tapas  

Our hotel has two restaurant options. The first one, Sessions, is a buffet-style restaurant that serves a unique take on the Spanish cuisine. The second one, Nu Downtown, offers a la carte Asian fusion cuisine and cocktails. You can also enjoy a burger on the outside hotel terrace next to the pool.  

If you venture out of the hotel for dinner, you will discover that Marbella is a melting pot of cultures and offers a variety of cuisines – steak, seafood, Spanish, Indian, Mediterranean, or fusion. A lot of Marbella’s restaurants are located at the beach, which means you can enjoy a beautiful view. We fully recommend visiting one of them during your stay.

Seafood with a view: The Garum Restaurant, The Harbour Bar and Restaurant, El Cortijo (pictured), Bar Altamirano

Steak grill with a Michelin star: ERRE & Urechu  

Erre & Urrechu is a restaurant featuring no fewer than three wood grills: holm oak for meats; orange tree wood for vegetables; and olive wood for fish. BBQ restaurants are very popular in Marbella.

Marbella is a popular filming location and is often featured in Hollywood movies. It is not uncommon to meet celebrities such as Antonio Banderas, Julio Iglesias, Hugh Grant, and other celebrities, who have homes there or visit frequently. There are quite a few restaurants with Michelin stars in the area.

More BBQ grills: Rib Shack Marbella, Hacienda Patagonica, Erre & Urrechu (pictured)

Best Tapas in Old Town: San Lázaro Street 

Book an outside table and watch the world go by while enjoying classic tapas dishes and house wines. They also offer non-alcoholic cocktails. San Lázaro Street is a reference point for tapeo. Instead of going for a sit-down meal, opt to visit various tapas bars in town.

The resco.Labs’ AI team has successfully developed the initial version of an AI-powered support assistant by integrating Chat GPT’s API with our support and learning resources.  

This means that when you ask a question, you will get an answer that combines information from various sources. You will then chat with the AI Assistant and ask it to give you more information as needed to accompany you in your task.  

We are excited to follow how language models like Chat GPT make human-computer interaction much more natural. At Resco, we are committed to providing steadfast customer support, and this technology will enable us to deliver that even better. The chatbot advisor in Resco technologies can assist Woodford users, offer product advice to our partners, assist developers in utilizing JS Bridge, and help to address synchronization optimizations. 

Heading the AI team at resco.Labs is one of our co-founders, Marcel Saffa. The team’s goal is to craft an assistant that becomes your go-to resource for any questions related to the implementation or utilization of Resco tools and technology. Its use is not limited to technical questions – it can also assist sales teams in which products provide added value to customers.  

The tool is currently going through internal testing. ChatGPT has been directly integrated into the Inspections+ and Steps+ to make it easier to generate reports and guides respectively.  

What data sets does Resco’s AI Chatbot Assistant use? 

To date, our AI Advisor uses the Resco Academy, Resco Wiki, Resco Learning, our YouTube channel and JS Bridge API as its data sources for providing the answers. We will continuously add more data, giving it as broad product knowledge as possible.   

Most partners perform separate searches to find specific technical information. The AI Assistant will combine information in one response. It will also offer links to relevant blogs, YouTube videos, Wiki articles, or Resco Academy tutorials.  

We hope this will make searching for answers more comfortable. Let us show you three quick examples of answers that you will be able to get from AI Chatbot Assistant.

Question + answer examples from early version Resco AI chatbot

Talking to the AI chatbot works the same way as a conversation with a human. You start by asking your question in any way you can think of it and then it gives you an answer. If you need further information, you ask further questions.  

Assisting app project creation and working in Woodford

Woodford is the customization tool for setting up mobile applications built on Resco’s platform. Resco’s AI Assistant will be a great companion during the procedure, available to answer all questions that might pop up along the way.  

You can start by asking a simple question and then refine it further by asking additional questions, just like in ChatGPT. Note the links at the bottom of the answer. They show you where the information is sourced from. You can follow them to Resco Academy tutorials or blog articles to read more about the functionality. 

Assisting developers with jsBridge

Let’s take a closer look at how the AI Chatbot Assistant works and discover its exceptional user assistance capabilities. In the example below you can see the use case mentioned above, chatbot advising developers with its jsBridge knowledge. 

As you can see, the AI Chatbot Assistant features a straight-forward interface with a simple window and command line at the bottom. Users only need to type a prompt and press enter, and if necessary, our chatbot can even read its response aloud to the user.
