Investment areas
Building modern apps
Power Apps is rolling out updates that modernize apps by default, so developers get higher productivity and users enjoy greater satisfaction. With these updates, developers can use modern controls, responsive templates, and offline apps by default. Users see a refreshed and modernized interface, simpler sharing options, and better collaboration tools.
Copilot for Power Apps makers and users
Copilot gives makers and users AI and natural language tools to speed up app development and add AI to existing apps for richer data analysis. Makers use copilots to create and change apps, work with data, and boost functionality. Users use natural language to explore data and navigate apps, making the user experience better.
Enable enterprise scale Power Apps is constantly enhancing its features for makers and administrators. These enhancements make it easier to implement low-code solutions at the enterprise level. Power Apps Studio is getting upgrades to its monitoring and code management tools. With these upgrades, makers working on larger and more complex apps get better support.
