Create an app in Microsoft Copilot Studio (preview)

Important

  • This is a preview feature.
  • Preview features aren't meant for production use and might have restricted functionality. These features are subject to supplemental terms of use, and are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.

Create an app by describing the problem you want to solve in natural language. Copilot Studio generates an interactive app preview that you can use to test and refine your app through conversation.

Create an app from a description

Note

Before you start, review the prerequisites.

  1. Sign in to Copilot Studio.

  2. On the Home page, select the App tile.

    Alternatively, select Apps (Preview) in the side pane to go to the Apps page, and then select New app.

  3. In the conversation area, describe the problem you want the app to solve. Attach files to provide more context.

  4. Select Submit.

  5. If prompted, answer follow-up questions about your requirements.

    When the agent has enough information, it starts building the app. When it's ready, the app preview appears and the chat moves to the left pane.

  6. Test the app in the interactive app preview.

  7. Continue refining the app by describing changes, such as adding a filter, changing a field, revising the layout, or adjusting an action.

Edit your app

After the app is generated, you can refine it in several ways.

Editing method How to use it
