GA: Oct–Nov 2025. • Power Automate — Create/Edit expressions with Copilot: Describe the logic in natural language and let Copilot build the fx expression. GA: Dec 2025. • Copilot Studio — Intelligent Approvals: AI-driven decision steps inside multistage approvals with clear rationales and auditability. • Copilot Studio — Up to 1,000 files/agent (SharePoint & OneDrive uploads) #PowerPlatform #PowerApps #PowerAutomate #CopilotStudio #LowCode #AI #Microsoft

💡 Ever wanted your Copilot Agent to talk to your own backend system? Now it can. Copilot Studio now supports connecting your agent to an existing Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — allowing it to call external services securely during runtime. You can do this using the MCP onboarding wizard in Studio or by creating a custom connector through Power Apps. 🔧 Key highlights: - Supports Streamable transport (SSE transport deprecated after Aug 2025) - Authentication via API Key or OAuth 2.0 - Includes guidance for building your own MCP server with a sample OpenAPI schema This means your Copilot Agent no longer works in isolation. It can now delegate logic, fetch live data, and collaborate with external systems — securely and efficiently. 👉 What kind of backend service would you connect to your agent? 📖 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gWfqNdeU #CopilotStudio #MCP #AgentIntegration #AI #PromptEngineering #SkilledbyMTT

In case you missed it, you can now use Azure Databricks for read/write in Power Apps and Power Automate and for knowledge source in Copilot Studio agents. Why this matters: instead of building a bunch of disconnected apps, agents, and automations, the Databricks option provides centralized data governance, increased performance across larger data sets, and unified management of data for all of your low code apps, agents, and automations. I think this is especially valuable for agents, as the downfall of many agentic POC's is access to data or being able to process data effectively from agents. The combination of copilot studio + Databricks makes both more powerful. https://lnkd.in/eqgU2NVv #AzureDatabricks #PowerPlatform #PowerApps #CopilotStudio #PowerAutomate #DataLakehouse

Low-code agents with managed, native MCP servers connected to Microsoft 365 is finally pushing Copilot Studio agents to an Enterprise level of stability. I've been a bot maker long before the suite got converted to Copilot Studio and lived through its kind of rough 2-3 years as an Agent suite. And boy has it been a spiral of updates and remakes. We started off with a barely working GPT-3/3.5 black box model and Topics with Power automate flow support. Pre-trained data responses was maybe the only reliable GenAi you could expect, everything else from custom knowledge and any kind of tools were big no, no. When GPT-4 released and MCS got both GPT-4 and 4o maybe 6 months after OpenAi's release, it finally started to work in retrieval modes with custom TEXT data. Forget about tables or structured data in any way. At this time we also had Plugins/Actions/Tools, name changes every month. Dynamic fill seemed promising but it was a struggle. Anyway, to have gone through its "dark" years kind of make this milestone even sweeter. Here we are today with GPT-5 (Yes, it works really well with agentic instructions: planning, task execution etc) and the big key: Microsoft published MCP servers that can finally tell the model how it should interact with its data and endpoints. If you previously have tried to implement orchestration with custom flows and instructions but got stuck with failing dynamic fill, connections strings etc, I recommend giving it another go. Now, give us a full suite of managed, native MCP server setup to interact build with! #CopilotStudio #MCP #agents

Big news from Microsoft! Copilot for #Microsoft365 just received a powerful new skill: it can now natively code in #MermaidJS. I've been putting this feature to the test by configuring a specialized Copilot to act as a "Flowchart Pro" assistant. No custom plugins needed—this is all about harnessing the latest native capabilities in M365 for practical #Automation, all within your Copilot. As you can see in the demo, it instantly turns a list of process steps into a clean diagram right within your workflow. This is a game-changer for anyone who visualizes processes. You can also feed it specifications. Want to leverage this new feature for your team? I'm offering a workshop for those interested in building this agent. Send me a DM if you're interested!

Unlocking the Power of Microsoft Power Platform: Key Insights and Best Practices 🚀 These scenario were based on interviews experience. 1)How do you return a list of items from a cloud flow to a Canvas app and bind it to a gallery or form while keeping types correct and performance high? 2)Describe two approaches: returning a JSON string via “Respond to a PowerApp or flow (V2)” then using ParseJSON in Power Fx to build a typed collection, vs. returning a typed array/object with a schema using a response action, and when to choose each. 3)How to pass a collection from Canvas to a flow: serialize with JSON(..., JSONFormat.Compact), accept as text in the flow, then Parse JSON for a typed array. 4)If one is calling power automate flow and other set of action in power apps(maybe on click / load), will wait for power automate flow to complete ? If there are two set of group of user , if one group make record , how to make sure the other group can’t able to see each other’s record. 5)How to user environmental variables and importance of it #powerapps #powerautomate #powerplatform #canvasapps #modeldrivenapps #datavserse
