Microsoft 365 Copilot Integrates App Builder and Workflow Automation

Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella announced the integration of App Builder and Workflow into Microsoft 365 Copilot. This update allows users to build custom applications and automate workflows using natural language prompts within the Copilot chat interface. The feature aims to democratize app development by enabling users without extensive coding knowledge to create functional solutions quickly.

Key Features of App Builder and Workflow

The primary goal of App Builder and Workflow is to simplify app development and workflow automation. Users can create interactive applications, such as career development tools, by integrating existing Word documents. The apps generated store data within Microsoft 365, ensuring seamless usability.

App Builder leverages Microsoft Graph to suggest and create new functionalities based on user prompts. For example, users can add feedback mechanisms or modify app layouts through natural language instructions.
