Power Platform Copilot In A Day
Power Platform is Microsoft's low-code, cloud-based service to turn ideas into impactful, end-to-end services. With the Power Platform having been available for over 10 years, it is now an enterprise level, low code platform to build reports, apps, flows, chatbots and websites. For the first time ever you can build your own solution and make it available for you company users. This skill of building professional low code apps is in such high demand that makers have successfully made a career out of it.
However, in the last year Microsoft has infused AI Copilot into all their cloud services and this change has affected Power Platform as well, some might say, more so than other services. Hence join Daniel Christian, a Microsoft MVP and certified trainer as he gives you a good overview of the Power Platform family in a day including all the AI Copilot features plus the changes coming to two of their services.
