Copilot for PowerApps is set to transform the app-building experience by using artificial intelligence (AI). The tool assists users in creating custom applications more efficiently. Built into the Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot helps streamline the development process by automating tasks, offering intelligent suggestions, and reducing the need for manual configuration. This is particularly valuable for businesses using Dynamics 365 (D365) and Business Central, where it simplifies the creation of tailored apps that integrate seamlessly with these systems.
Why Use Copilot for PowerApps?
One of Copilot’s most compelling features is its natural language processing (NLP) capability. Users can describe the app they want in everyday or business terms, and Copilot will interpret those instructions to generate relevant components—such as user interfaces, data tables, and logic flows. This enables rapid prototyping and iteration, even for users with little to no coding experience.
Copilot is designed to work alongside Microsoft Dataverse, the Power Platform’s secure and scalable data foundation. By leveraging Dataverse, Copilot can access and unify data from sources like D365 and Business Central. This ensures consistency across systems and supports the development of apps that are fully aligned with business operations.
As of March 2025, Copilot for PowerApps remains in pre-release. While the feature is still under development, early access allows users to explore its capabilities and provide feedback. For organizations already using D365 and Business Central, this presents a valuable opportunity to influence the tool’s evolution. Additionally, this ensures that the CRM meets your integration needs.
Next Steps
Copilot for PowerApps represents a major advancement in low-code development. With AI-powered suggestions, natural language input, Dataverse integration, and tight compatibility with D365 and Business Central, it empowers users to build robust, customized applications with greater speed and ease.
