Microsoft’s Copilot can now build apps and automate your job — here’s how it works

Microsoft is significantly expanding its Copilot AI assistant, introducing tools that empower employees to build applications, automate workflows, and create specialized AI agents using conversational prompts. The new 'App Builder' and 'Workflows' features allow 100 million Microsoft 365 users to develop business tools as easily as drafting emails, marking a major step in merging AI with software development. Users can now describe an application, and Copilot will generate a working app with a database, UI, and security controls. This initiative is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to integrate AI across its product portfolio, driven by its partnership with OpenAI, and could potentially turn millions of office workers into part-time software developers.

New tools enable users to create applications and automate tasks using natural language, potentially democratizing software development.
