Feature Details
The copilot functionality in Power Automate for desktop offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the automation creation process. With natural language capabilities, makers can create desktop flows by providing instructions in plain English, eliminating the need for algorithmic or pseudocode knowledge. This feature is especially useful in scenarios where loops and conditionals are required, as it streamlines the process and reduces the need for complex coding. With copilot, users can generate automations with ease, saving valuable time and resources.
My Opinion
More enhancements to add Copilot to a new area. In theory, this could be quite good, but I’ve not had much luck with Copilot in other areas of Power Automate, in terms of getting it to create a flow which meets requirements.
