Applications hold the business rules, the permissions, and the process knowledge that keeps work moving. We\u2019re making the apps that you use daily dramatically more intelligent and productive.

What sets this release apart is its interoperability: agents and Copilot are embedded directly within apps to boost productivity, while app capabilities are infused into agents to ground AI in real context and help make it more reliable and trustworthy.\n<\/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 wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/PPCSBAUReg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch the Business Applications Update event: Power Platform and Copilot Studio edition<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"embedding-microsoft-365-copilot-directly-within-apps\">Embedding Microsoft 365 Copilot directly within apps <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  The biggest productivity gains from AI come not from separate tools, but from embedding it inside the app where someone is already working, where the data model, business rules, and user context are all present.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, as users fill out a form, the app can convert emails or documents into structured fields automatically, with a review step before anything is saved. Natural-language search lets users simply ask, \u201cshow me open high-priority tickets this week,\u201d instantly reshaping the view. AI-generated summaries distill long activity histories in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this is just the starting point. With <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/microsoft-365-copilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/a> now generally available in model-driven apps, users gain something broader: the ability to ask questions and get answers grounded not just in the records on screen, but across the full breadth of business and productivity data through Microsoft Work IQ. The Copilot experience respects the same security, permissions, and business logic the app already enforces. Admins enable it at the tenant level. Makers configure it in a few clicks. The same app is now meaningfully more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bringing-app-skills-to-agents\">Bringing app skills to agents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1908\" height=\"1028\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AppSkillsInBizChat.gif\" alt=\"Animation showing a Power Apps agent chat that automates data entry.\" class=\"wp-image-133922\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>New app skills<\/strong> including data entry, exploration, visualization, and summarization are now generally available in Power Apps. But the value of a business application doesn\u2019t stop at its own UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using an app\u2019s MCP server, these app skills\u2014starting with structured form and grid views\u2014can now be exposed as reusable tools for agents in public preview, with additional custom UX skills coming soon. This extends app productivity beyond the app itself to AI surfaces such as Copilot, custom agents, and automations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the two\u2011way relationship between apps and agents becomes tangible. In the previous section, AI and Copilot came into the app to help users work faster. Here, the app\u2019s capabilities flow outward into agents and Copilot. For example, a recruiting app that has accumulated years of hiring policy can now power an agent that accesses the same records, enforces the same rules, and operates under the same controls. As organizations digitize more processes, their agents become more capable.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dfeebb3f32e&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:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/52633a81-d940-4764-8bb7-0a9d27570ab4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133981 webp-format\" srcset=\"\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/52633a81-d940-4764-8bb7-0a9d27570ab4.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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"human-oversight-where-it-matters-most-through-the-agent-feed\">Human oversight where it matters most through the agent feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/microsoft-365-copilot\/agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agents execute more tasks<\/a>, the question is how to keep humans in the loop at the right moments. The agent feed in model-driven apps, generally available in May 2026, answers that directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n  It gives business users a dedicated space to see, review, and guide agent activity as it happens and within the app, not in a separate monitoring tool. Makers control the approval threshold: low-risk actions complete quietly in the background; higher-impact actions like sending emails surface as explicit approvals. Side-by-side comparisons, deep links to records, and performance signals make oversight practical.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An insurance claims team, for example, uses an agent that extracts data from incoming emails and prepopulates case forms. Adjusters review and approve in the agent feed before anything enters the system. Humans oversee. Agents execute. Work gets done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"turning-ai-from-experimentation-to-execution\">Turning AI from experimentation to execution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From embedding intelligence directly in apps, to extending app capabilities across AI surfaces like Copilot and custom agents, to empowering seamless human-AI collaboration through the agent feed, every component is connected. Together, this answers the question business and IT leaders are asking: how to <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/products\/power-apps#use-cases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bring AI into core business processes<\/a> with real impact, without starting from scratch. This is what makes the shift from experimentation to execution real for the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/PPCSBAUReg\"
