The agent enables model-driven app makers to create fully structured pages in model-driven apps using natural language. Makers describe their page requirements, and the agent intelligently generates the layout, selecting appropriate components and configurations. Through an interactive, conversational process, makers can iteratively refine the design, adjusting elements, layout, and functionality in real time. This capability streamlines app design, ensures adherence to best practices, and brings modern, consumer-grade UI experiences to enterprise applications.

The initial public preview is restricted to US environments only and is not permitted for production usage.

New APIs enable you to run a topic on Microsoft Copilot Studio custom agent that powers the model-driven app. You can find these APIs in the Client API and the Power Apps component framework API. With these APIs, developers can easily add custom AI intelligence into the work flow for business users. Use these AI APIs when you build custom code with web resources or PCF.

Both the Client API and Power Apps component framework API include two new APIs:

• The executeEvent API uses the event name to call a specific Copilot Studio topic. It passes the app, page, and record context. This API also accepts extra context.
• The executePrompt API uses the prompt for Copilot Studio to orchestrate the topic to call. This API call also includes the app, page, and record context.

These APIs use the custom agent described in Customize Copilot chat using Copilot Studio (preview).

The new agent response component runs a topic on the Microsoft Copilot Studio custom agent. Add this component to a model-driven form, and provide an event name to identify the topic.

The component supports text in markdown format or adaptive card format. Use an adaptive card to include media like videos and images.

In-app agents use reasoning to automate cognitive processes like routing, orchestration, and decision-making. These agents remove manual effort from business processes. By directing business users to the highest-value task, in-app agents help users focus their time and energy on tasks that make the biggest impact. Users can achieve their desired business outcomes without digging through all their data.

Makers configure in-app agents with the types of actions for different tables. The agent processes the rows assigned to a user. It understands the most valuable next action and recommends that action.

As a maker, you can now take advantage of all the capabilities of the Plan Designer by creating a plan from your existing solution. The Plan Designer uses AI to extract information from your solution and generates the business problem and user requirements. When you save the plan, you can edit the user requirements and generate extra apps, tables, and other components for your solution. To generate a plan, your solution must have at least one app and one associated table. You must also publish the apps.

Select Solutions in Power Apps to create a plan from a solution.

The Plan Designer integrates the Solution Explorer. When you use the Plan Designer, you can quickly switch between the high-level plan view and the detailed objects view that shows the Solution Explorer. This integration reduces context switching. You don't need to use multiple tabs to check the plan and the solution components. This feature is especially helpful when you manage your solutions for application lifecycle management (ALM).

Access the objects view

1. Create and save a plan.
2. Select Objects in the left navigation menu. After you save the plan, the Objects option is available.
3. Select Objects to open the embedded Solution Explorer view.

To use the Plan Designer, you need the System Administrator or System Customizer role in your environment.

The Plan Designer recommends solutions that address your business problem and fit your organization's needs. Some of these solutions already exist in your environment. Instead of creating new apps, you can replace a suggested app with an existing app or add an existing app to the set of solutions in the Plan Designer.

The Plan Designer feature gives you a high-level architecture that solves specific business challenges. It recommends creating different types of objects, such as apps, flows, and tables. Plan agents are AI assistants that review your business problem and create a plan to solve it. These plan agents use AI to help you build your plan. The solution agent now suggests existing apps. With this suggestion, you can add these apps to your plan. This update lets you use the Plan Designer to set the solution architecture for your scenario while reusing existing apps.

• The solution agent suggests existing apps for more complete recommendations.
• You can customize your plan by adding existing apps and changing the architecture to fit your needs.

The plan designer helps you create a high-level architecture to solve business problems. It suggests creating apps, flows, and tables. You can replace the suggested apps with your existing apps. This approach gives you flexibility and lets you save time and resources by reusing existing apps.

Use Plan Designer to create a Copilot Studio agent that streamlines workflows, automates repetitive tasks, and answers customer questions. When you create the agent in Plan Designer, you go to Microsoft Copilot Studio to review the agent and make any necessary changes before publishing it. The agent that Plan Designer creates includes the following details:

• Name: The agent's name.
• Description: A detailed explanation of the agent's purpose.
• Instructions: A set of tasks the agent performs.
• Knowledge: A list of data sources the agent uses to complete tasks. This list includes all data tables that the plan creates.

We recommend that you review the agent's instructions, make any desired changes, and test the agent before publishing it.

To build a successful business plan, you need to reuse existing assets, such as existing tables in your solution. Currently, you can use existing tables in the standalone data workspace experience, but you can't use them when working with a plan. With this new feature, you can edit new tables and existing tables as part of your plan's data model. To help you work more efficiently, Copilot suggests the right existing table based on your business requirements.

Start by describing your business problem. Add extra details like process diagrams, data models, or even screenshots of legacy apps. Copilot uses this information to draft user roles and requirements for the solution. Then, Copilot suggests a multitable data model based on your requirements. Approve the suggestion and keep iterating. You can select and edit the existing tables in your plan through the data workspace. You can also chat with Copilot to include existing tables that fit your requirements.

Agent builder for Power Apps gives makers the power to create custom autonomous agents that automate repetitive business processes. By understanding the app and business process, Agent builder adds knowledge and triggers to the agent. With Agent builder, you can streamline operations with autonomous AI agents.

Makers can easily create agents that automate processes within their existing canvas apps. Agent builder uses the app's metadata and the desired agent goal to generate a detailed step-by-step process. This process works with extracted skills from the app to create a copilot that provides detailed instructions and actions.

Copilot helps you fill out forms quickly by using images, files, and emails. Model-driven app users can add a file, including images, or an email for Copilot to suggest form fields. This feature saves you time on a tedious task. Based on your feedback, we improved the form-filling experience and gave you more control over suggestions.

Admins can manage this capability through the Power Platform admin center.

Select a button to turn tabular data and all the filters into a chart. Drill into the data by interacting with the chart, the grid column filters, or both. Personalize the chart by changing the chart type or adjusting the legends. You can change both options. You can also expand the chart or copy it to the clipboard for easy sharing with your team.

• Each model-driven app uses a Copilot in Microsoft Copilot Studio. You can customize this Copilot.
• You can add external knowledge sources and custom topics to your app to make Copilot chat richer and more intelligent.
• You can gradually customize other Copilot capabilities through the same app.

Are you tired of creating new tables that duplicate existing tables in your environment? Use the Copilot-assisted ERD designer to design data models. Instead of starting from scratch, use your existing tables to build data models. Here's how it works: Enter your requirements in natural language. Copilot creates a multi-table data model that includes new and existing tables. Need to find relevant tables quickly? Copilot recommendations locate the right tables in seconds. After you assemble your tables, switch to the ERD view. You can review your new and existing tables. While editing existing tables in the ERD view isn't supported yet, you can create lookups into the existing tables with a simple drag-and-drop action to define connections between tables.

• Create a record summary prompt for any table in Power Apps (make.powerapps.com) through a guided prompt builder.
• Add relevant fields and information for users in the record summary.
• Test the summary online to make sure it meets your expectations.
• Provide record summaries to users in their forms for easy access to information.

Draft with Copilot is an innovative feature that helps you be more productive. Currently, it helps you refine your text in multiline text input and rich text editor controls, so your content is polished and professional.

With the upcoming enhancement, Draft with Copilot adds more functionality. You can write prompts that generate content for your input fields. Instead of spending time editing, rewriting, and crafting well-written content, you can jot down a few ideas and let Copilot handle the rest.

This new feature changes how you interact with your canvas apps. It makes content creation faster, easier, and more efficient. By using advanced AI capabilities, Copilot helps you produce high-quality content with minimal effort. You can focus on what matters most—your core tasks and creative processes.

Creating solutions to address business needs involves more than just developing an app. Solutions are a collection of objects from across the Power Platform that store data, provide end-user apps, and automate workflows. Regardless of the technology you use to solve a business problem, start by defining your solution architecture. This architecture supports different user roles and their requirements. With this approach, you can build a solution that benefits your business. Copilot can help you detail the scenario and requirement definitions. It helps with user roles, user requirements, data schemas to support data, and creating an overall solution architecture through proposed objects.

• Scenario and requirement definition: Describe your business problem. Add extra context like process diagrams, data models, or even screenshots of legacy apps. Copilot uses this information to draft user roles and requirements for the solution.
• Data modeling: After you align requirements, Power Apps proposes a data model to support the solution. You can explore and update the model through a visual entity relationship diagram.
• Solution architecture: Copilot recommends the types of apps and automation that fit your requirements. In this release, the recommendations include canvas and model-driven apps, as well as cloud flows in Power Automate.

During the preview, these Copilot skills are off by default. To access these features, turn on Try the new Power Apps experience on the Power Apps home page. You can create and manage your plans.

Quickly create custom AI agents by using existing knowledge, logic, and actions in Power Apps. These agents handle tasks on their own, so you don't need to worry about repetitive tasks. They boost individual productivity and improve business efficiency.

Work with Copilot to find workflows you can automate. You can update the description of the process. Copilot uses this description to create an autonomous agent. The agent includes clear instructions and actions taken from the app.

For example, in a reimbursement management app, you can use existing steps in the process, like categorization, compliance checking, or rejecting incomplete requests. You build a custom agent that handles these tasks. The agent uses custom Dataverse functions you create in the app to complete tasks on its own. By using agent builder with knowledge, logic, and actions already in apps, you shorten the path to creating agents in business apps.

With natural language grid filtering, you can easily find, filter, and sort your data. You don't need complex or advanced filters. Just describe what you're looking for.

For example, if you ask for cases that are high priority with an overdue follow-up by date, the feature filters your view to show only those cases. Using natural language saves time because you don't need to use column filters or advanced filters.

Supported features:

• Filtering records
• Sorting
• Text search

This feature is in preview. Each weekly release enhances the feature. An admin turns on the feature with the Natural Language Grid and View Search setting.

Form fill assistance, a Copilot feature for model-driven apps, is now available in quick create forms. This feature provides field value suggestions with citations, so you can learn more about the form field suggestions.

This feature is automatically on, so you can start using it right away.

When users select the smart paste button or use the keyboard shortcut, they get suggestions for fields. The suggestions appear inline in the model-driven app form, based on the text users copy. Users can accept or ignore the suggestions. This new smart paste option makes it easier and faster to enter data in forms.

Admins can manage this capability through Power Platform admin center.

As Copilot features become available across Power Platform, admins need a way to monitor and govern them in one place. The Copilot page gives admins readiness resources, data and security documentation, frequently asked questions (FAQs), usage insights, and governance controls for Copilots in Power Platform. All tenant admins automatically get this feature.

In managed environments, admins can provide customized welcome content to help makers get started with Power Apps and, now with the 2024 release wave 1, Copilot Studio. When you add your help content, you replace the default first-time help experience for makers.

Environment routing is a premium governance feature. With this feature, Power Platform admins automatically direct new or existing makers to their own personal developer environments. Makers access these environments when they go to make.powerapps.com or, starting with 2024 release wave 1, copilotstudio.microsoft.com.

Copilot helps you build new forms and views for model-driven apps. It proactively suggests relevant columns that fit your needs. These suggestions come from the Dataverse table schema and the name and description (if you provide one) of the view or form.

This feature helps you quickly start your project. It also sparks creativity and boosts productivity when you build key components for your model-driven app. The feature is on by default, so you can start using it right away. If the tenant admin turns on Power Apps Maker Copilot, you don't need any extra setup or configuration. Copilot is ready to help you create your model-driven apps.

App makers bring their custom copilots into Power App Studio.

Make your applications smarter by including custom copilots you create in Copilot Studio. Add custom copilots to all screens with just a few clicks. Custom copilots complement your app's user experience by providing conversational capabilities for users to interact with data and complete their tasks.

When you go to your canvas app's settings, you see a new Copilot section. Select any bot that you can access in the environment.

When you publish the app, users access the custom copilot from any screen. On the web, users select the Copilot icon in the app ribbon. On mobile devices, users select a floating, dismissible button.

When you select a data source for a control, Copilot analyzes the data schema and recommends up to 10 fields that are most relevant and meaningful for your app. If you select more than 10 required fields, Copilot merges the AI suggestions with the required fields so you don't get an error when you submit a form. You can view the suggestions in the fields pane and preview how they appear in your app. You can adjust the order, remove fields, or add more fields from the data source. When you finish, you can apply the changes and see the results in your app.

The Explain this formula feature is generally available for all makers when their environment enables Copilot capabilities. Makers select the Copilot button in the formula bar, then select Explain this formula to start this feature.

When you use main forms in model-driven apps on the web with New Look enabled, you can see field suggestions that AI generates based on your frequently used data. These suggestions are optional. You can accept or reject them. Form fill assistance is available in English only.

In app designer for model-driven apps, use AI to help generate descriptions for your apps. You can generate an app description in the Publish dialog or in the App Settings panel. The AI-generated description is available for review and saving as part of the app. App users can access the AI-generated app description during the web player experience by hovering over the app name in the header.
