Microsoft Power Apps Introduces Copilot Studio Integration in Preview
Microsoft Power Apps just got smarter. The new public preview features, Agent APIs and Agent response component, bring Copilot Studio’s AI magic directly into model-driven apps. This update promises richer, more contextual user experiences with minimal effort from developers.
What’s New: Agent APIs for Deeper Integration
The Agent APIs let app makers programmatically interact with topics created in Copilot Studio. These APIs are accessible through Xrm.Copilot and PcfContext.Copilot namespaces. They support two main actions:
- executeEvent: Triggers a topic based on an event and returns a structured response.
- executePrompt: Sends a natural language prompt to Copilot Studio and gets a response tailored to trigger phrases.
These APIs generate rich JSON responses, including markdown, adaptive cards, images, and videos. Developers can embed them in XRM event handlers or custom PCF controls, offering full control over how AI-generated content is presented.
“These APIs enable richer, more contextual, and more intelligent user experiences.” – Adrian Orth, Principal Product Manager, PowerApps
Agent Response Component: Easy Embedding of AI Content
The Agent response component simplifies adding Copilot Studio content directly into model-driven forms. It supports rendering markdown, adaptive cards, images, and videos. During Microsoft Build, the team showcased how this component can deliver polished, interactive adaptive cards within forms.
This means developers can now embed AI-powered content without building complex controls from scratch. It’s a game-changer for enhancing user engagement and productivity within business apps.
Why This Matters for Developers and Businesses
Integrating Copilot Studio content into apps enhances automation and contextual assistance. It empowers users with AI-driven insights exactly when they need them. Additionally, the preview signals Microsoft’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities within the Power Platform ecosystem.
