Create apps without writing code or designing screens. With Copilot in Power Apps, you use natural language to describe what you want your app to do, and AI does the rest.
Copilot is a feature in Power Apps that helps you build apps with AI assistance. Access Copilot from the Power Apps home screen. Enter the type of information you want to collect, track, or show in your app, and Copilot generates one or more Microsoft Dataverse tables that you use to build your canvas app.
Prerequisites
- Check the prerequisites and region availability in Copilot in Power Apps overview (preview).
- Depending on where your environment is hosted, you might need to enable data movement across regions. Learn more in Copilots and generative AI features that are available when you enable data movement across regions.
- Add a Dataverse database to your environment. Learn more in Add a Microsoft Dataverse database.
- Check if this feature is available in your region. Learn more in Explore Copilot features by geography and languages.
- Assign the system customizer security role in the environment.
Create an app with Copilot
Let's create an app to track housekeeping tasks for a hotel so you can see how Copilot works.
Sign in to Power Apps.
On the left navigation pane, select Create > Start with Copilot.
Enter your prompt in the text box, like the example prompt below.
Hotel housekeepingSelect table options, like multiple tables or one table, and then select Generate.
Copilot creates one or more Dataverse tables with data that includes typical hotel housekeeping tasks.
Important
If you don't have the right permissions or access to Dataverse in the environment you're working in, an alert asks you to create the app in your own environment. Make sure the table and app can be created in your environment to continue. If you don't have a personal developer environment, a new one is created for you automatically. Learn more in Get your developer environment (preview).
Review the table
Copilot generates tables and relationships based on your description. Review them and make any changes you need before you create your app.

Use Copilot to make changes
To change something, enter a brief description of the change in the Copilot panel. Copilot makes the change for you.
For example, ask Copilot to add columns to track cleaning start and end time.
In the Copilot text box, enter Add columns to track start and end time.
Copilot adds two new columns called Start Time and End Time.
Continue editing the table as needed. For example, add room status, change room types, or set a priority level for each room.
When you're ready to create your app, select Save and open app.
