Imagine you're filling out a long form, like when you're at the doctor's office or applying for a loan. It can be time-consuming and sometimes confusing to make sure you fill in all the right details. Now, think of having a helpful assistant who can look at your documents, emails, or even pictures you have and suggest what to fill in each section of the form. That's what this new feature in Power Apps, called Copilot, is designed to do.
Copilot acts like a smart helper that can quickly scan through your files, images, or emails and suggest the right information to fill in the form fields. For example, if you have a scanned image of your driver's license, Copilot can pull out the relevant details like your name and address and fill them in for you. This is similar to having a very efficient assistant who can read your documents and do the tedious work of filling out forms, so you don't have to.
This feature will be available for everyone to use starting October 1, 2025. It will be especially useful for those who use model-driven apps, as they can easily add a file or email and let Copilot do the rest. It's a way to make form-filling faster and less of a hassle, allowing you to focus on more important tasks. No immediate action is needed from you, but it's good to know that this tool will soon be available to make your work life a bit easier.
