A New Era in AI-Powered App Development with Power Apps

Microsoft has taken another significant step in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the future of app development: it is now possible to collaborate with intelligent agents to generate code directly within Microsoft Power Apps. This innovation combines the speed and flexibility of AI-assisted programming with the robustness, security, and scalability of a well-established enterprise platform.
 

Agent-Centric Development: A New Approach

This new app creation model places agents at the center of the entire process. Creators can start with an idea and collaborate with agents to define user stories, requirements, processes, data, and solution architecture. This collaboration continues throughout the app-building process, enabling complete and personalized user experiences.

Generative pages represent an evolution beyond traditional low-code tools. Instead of relying on pre-defined components and drag-and-drop configurations, these pages are generated with real code, written by agents based on the creators’ instructions and feedback.

Power Apps stands out by combining the best of both worlds: a market-leading low-code platform with top-tier governance and security, now enhanced by the agility of AI-assisted creation.
 

AI-Powered App Creation with Full Control

With generative pages, a simple description can be transformed into a functional, customized application in seconds. Just describe what you want, upload a sketch (if desired), choose Dataverse tables, and the app is automatically generated—no coding required.

The AI agent generates the code for your app page, which you can review, customize, and refine, always maintaining full control. Based on open standards, your applications remain portable, extensible, and future-ready.

This functionality allows seamless switching between no-code and code-based experiences, catering to both business users and experienced developers:

• From no-code to pro-code: Start with a natural language description, add code, or use visual components—all within the same app.
• Full transparency: Access the app’s React code with complete visibility.
• Iterative design: Easily update your app by stating what you want—like “add a search bar,” “enable dark mode,” or “make it mobile-friendly.” You can even revert to previous versions with a single click.

 

Enterprise-Ready Features

Generative pages bring AI-powered app creation into the enterprise context, with the security, governance, and scalability expected from Microsoft. Power Apps was designed from the ground up for enterprise environments and offers:

• Built-in security and governance: Authentication with Microsoft Entra ID, access control, monitoring, auditing, DLP policies, environment management, and ALM pipelines.
• Open and transparent code: Use of React and TypeScript, with no proprietary dependencies.
• Direct integration with Dataverse: A secure and scalable platform integrated with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure.
• Rich and interactive interface: Support for features like drag-and-drop, charts, dark themes, and even text-to-speech conversion.

The future of software development is fast, AI-assisted, and agent-centric. But speed without security is risky, and flexibility without control can lead to chaos.

Generative pages mark a new phase in Power Apps and enterprise development. With native AI creation, open code, and built-in security, any team can turn a great idea into a functional app in minutes—without compromising quality or safety.
