explanation for non-techies**

Power Apps is introducing a new feature called the Agent Builder, which allows users to create custom AI agents using the existing knowledge, logic, and actions within Power Apps. Think of it like building a helpful assistant for your app, similar to how you might train a new team member to handle specific tasks using the resources and information you already have.

This feature is designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to build these agents directly within Power Apps Studio. It's like having a toolkit that helps you put together your own digital assistant, without needing to be an expert in AI or programming. The process is streamlined through something called Copilot Studio, which is meant to make the experience as smooth as possible.

For those who are interested in exploring this new capability, it's set to be generally available by August 15, 2025. There's no immediate action required, but if you're curious to learn more about how it works or how it might benefit your organization, you can find additional information in the Agent Builder in Power Apps learn article. This feature represents a step towards making technology more accessible and customizable, much like how smartphones have evolved to allow users to tailor their devices to their personal needs and preferences.
