The connection is made through your app\u2019s MCP server\u2014a lightweight setup in Power Apps that\u2019s automatically created and configured for your\u00a0model\u2011driven\u00a0app, registering it as an agent in Copilot and making its data available as conversational capabilities. The experience is built around three capabilities:\u00a0out\u2011of\u2011the\u2011box\u00a0<strong>grids\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>forms\u00a0<\/strong>available now, and\u00a0<strong>custom tools<\/strong>\u00a0coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"grids-explore-your-data-without-leaving-the-conversation\">Grids \u2014 explore your data without leaving the conversation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask Copilot a question about your business data\u00a0\u2014\u00a0\u201cShow me open accounts in the West region\u201d or \u201cWhich cases were escalated this week?\u201d\u2014\u00a0and it responds with an interactive grid drawn directly from your Power Apps data. Users can filter, sort, and scan records using the same views and permissions as the app itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selecting a record opens it inline, where users can review details, make edits, or keep the conversation going&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;asking follow-up&nbsp;questions, comparing records, or taking the next step without starting over.
