Copilot for Power Automate

In Power Automate, the Copilot creating wizard is a tool that helps you design and build flows using AI assistance. You can describe your desired flow, and Copilot generates a preliminary version of the flow. If the initial version isn't satisfactory, you can ask Copilot to regenerate a different variation of the flow, allowing you to explore alternative designs and find the best solution for your needs.
