Copilot for Power Platform : Accelerating your Development with AI

Microsoft is adding AI support to the Power Platform low code development platforms called Copilot. You can use Copilot to help build your next App, Flow, or Bot. Copilot can enhance your development experience in multiple ways.

1. You can use natural language to describe what you are trying to build. Copilot will return a suggested design for the app, flow, or Dataverse tables which you can then use.
2. Copilot will also help you along the way by suggesting modifications to improve your PowerFX formulas.
3. Copilot controls can also be used in Apps to submit natural language queries about your data
4. You can also embed a Custom Copilot developed in Copilot Studio into your App.

Copilot won't replace you as a Citizen Developer, but it will help you produce amazing apps and powerful flows in a fraction of the time.
