Create Solution Plan with Copilot

 

Start with a Plan

Great solutions don’t begin with coding or designing the UI but by understanding the problem and user requirements. Power Apps Studio now offers tools to plan solutions right from the start. Developers can discuss the business problem with Copilot, ensuring the solution aligns with business needs. Users can describe their problem, share diagrams, and legacy app screenshots to draft user roles and requirements, which can be further refined with Copilot's help.

Once requirements are clear, Power Apps will propose a data model, displayed as an entity relationship diagram (ERD). Makers can explore and update it visually. The system will also recommend the types of apps and automation (Canvas apps, model-driven apps, and cloud flows) that best fit the requirements.

This process is collaborative and iterative—users can make changes to roles, data models, and user experiences at any point. The plan stays with the app, making sure the rationale behind the solution is always clear.

From this plan, makers can preview apps, validate them, and further customize the solution using canvas and model-driven designers.

Collaboration with Copilot and Coauthoring

Copilot in Power Apps has evolved to better support collaborative app building. Coauthoring, now generally available, allows teams of developers, business users, and stakeholders to work together in real-time within Power Apps.

Intelligent App Building

Power Apps also introduced updates to simplify how users interact with data. With features like “smart paste,” Copilot can identify relevant data and map it into forms. Users can accept or modify the suggested inputs. Copilot can also assist in filtering and searching large datasets using natural language.

These intelligent updates, available in public preview, make tasks more efficient without developers needing to build custom experiences.
