How to Work Smarter with Agentic AI in Microsoft Power Apps

Agentic AI in Microsoft Power Apps is reshaping how organizations design applications, automate workflows, and improve productivity. According to Microsoft, businesses that adopt AI-driven automation can reduce manual processing time by up to 40% (Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2024).

As Satya Nadella noted during the Microsoft Inspire Keynote (2023), “AI will become the next major shift in how we interact with technology.” This shift is already transforming low-code development by enabling applications to act autonomously and intelligently.

Powered by Microsoft Copilot, Agentic AI allows businesses to create intelligent agents that operate within Power Apps using existing logic and workflows. These agents reduce manual intervention, streamline processes, and help teams focus on higher-value tasks.

What is Agentic AI in Microsoft Power Apps?

In Power Apps, Agentic AI refers to autonomous, goal-oriented agents capable of analyzing data, understanding context, and executing actions with minimal human involvement. These agents follow predefined app logic while dynamically responding to changing conditions.

For example, a retail organization used Agentic AI to automatically update inventory records, reducing manual effort by 50% and improving data accuracy. This demonstrates how traditional apps can evolve into self-operating systems.

How to Use Agentic AI in Power Apps

1. Access the Agent Builder

Sign in to Microsoft Power Apps and open the app you want to enhance. From the command bar, select “Create agent from the app (Preview)”. This opens the Agent Builder interface.

2. Define the Agent’s Goal

Clearly describe the task you want the agent to manage. Specific, simple instructions produce more accurate outcomes. Power Apps also provides intelligent suggestions to refine your goal.

3. Generate and Refine Instructions

Agent Builder automatically generates step-by-step instructions using your app’s metadata. Review these steps carefully and refine them if needed to ensure accuracy and alignment with your workflow.

4. Integrate AI Builder Models

Enhance your app by adding AI Builder models. 

Create a canvas app, then navigate to Data > Add data > AI models. Choose from prebuilt or custom models such as:

• Form processing

• Prediction

• Object detection

• Image recognition

These models integrate seamlessly to extend your app’s intelligence.
