By generating intelligent applications on a fully managed platform, technology leaders can get the best of both worlds\u2014solutions that are purpose-built for exactly their needs but without the long-term costs of maintaining full stack projects.

With highly positive feedback from customers, we\u2019re excited to bring the plan designer capabilities to preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wyoUXIYNZ5A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch a demo: Designing a plan with Copilot in Power Apps<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now developers will be able to start working on a business problem in an iterative process with Copilot, and keep better connection between the business requirements and the solution they are building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire process of building a plan and generating solution components is iterative and collaborative. At any point makers can make changes to defined user roles, requirements, data model, or the proposed user experiences. The plan will live alongside the solution, changing with it and ensuring the understanding of the problem and requirements persist. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new plan designer experience will make a powerful tool for creating well-structured, adaptable, and collaborative solutions using Power Apps and Power Platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generate-custom\">Generate custom AI agents from existing app capabilities&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Makers can now easily generate agents from existing apps <\/strong>using the logic, knowledge, and actions built into those apps. Makers can leverage Copilot Studio capabilities directly in Power Apps to build custom agents that get work done on behalf of employees. Once these agents are deployed, users can review activity, manage complex cases, and focus on higher value work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1322\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Power-Apps-Agent-builder-in-power-apps-maker-view-1.gif\" alt=\"A screen recording of a maker in Power Apps Studio building an agent from an app\" class=\"wp-image-126188\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, in a reimbursement management app, a maker takes existing process\u2014categorization, compliance check, or rejecting requests\u2014and builds an agent to execute these tasks. Makers can start from an existing app,<strong> <\/strong>and agent builder will suggest actions based on the app\u2019s construction, like activating flows or <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-apps\/maker\/data-platform\/formula-columns?tabs=type-or-paste\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">running Power Fx functions<\/a>. This significantly shortens the time to get to user value and makers can continue expanding agent functionality in Copilot Studio. For example, they can add the ability to process receipt images using the pre-built prompt with GPT-4o.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e4a63717c56&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Power-Apps-user-views-agent-activity-4k-1.webp\" alt=\"A view of an app with marked agent actions and status of the agent activity.\" class=\"wp-image-126412 webp-format\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Power-Apps-user-views-agent-activity-4k-1.webp\"><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For users, the benefits are clear: instead of requiring each request to be reviewed by a person, an agent handles it. Makers can also <strong>allow users to see which rows have been recently modified by the agent <\/strong>and view previous agent sessions. This transparency ensures that users can intervene when necessary, maintaining visibility and control. This functionality will be available to makers starting next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improved-in-app-agents-for-data-entry-and-summaries\">Improved in-app agents for data entry and summaries&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to generating new custom agents, we\u2019re also improving the out-of-the-box agents that end users leverage within Power Apps to get work done more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2545\" height=\"1310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Power-Apps-Ignite-form-fill-with-doc-dragndrop-1.gif\" alt=\"A user in an app adding a document and an email to the form-fill bar and accepting the form suggestions.\" class=\"wp-image-126190\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Data entry<\/strong> is one of the tasks that many people consider tedious, and it\u2019s no surprise that the Power Apps data entry agent, which helps users fill out forms, is highly valued by customers. At Power Platform Community Conference 2024, we announced the ability to copy text and let AI suggest form inputs from the clipboard. In a study with information workers, this Copilot assistance enabled 29% faster form filling, with 95% preferring it over manual entry.<sup>2<\/sup> Now, <strong>users in model-driven apps can also directly add an email or file<\/strong> and get field suggestions from them. The new context control lets users see what data is used to predict fields, giving them more control.
