Expand your productivity with Copilot: New Build Apps and Workflows feature

Microsoft continues to drive innovation in the workplace with the launch of App Builder and Workflows — two new agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers under the Frontier program. These tools make it easy for employees in all departments to build apps and workflows simply by describing what they need in natural language. With the power of Copilot Studio, ideas turn into real-world, secure, and governed solutions that connect within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

From idea to execution with Build Apps and Workflows

Imagine you're preparing to launch a new product — now you can design, automate, and manage the entire process with Copilot:

• Apps: Create a product launch tracking app so your team can track goals, assign tasks, and view progress through a dashboard.
• Flows: Set up Teams notifications for deadlines from Planner or automatically send approval reminders in Teams channels.
• Agents: Build an intelligent assistant that can answer product questions based on data from SharePoint and Teams.

In just a few clicks, Copilot helps you go from planning to execution — without writing a single line of code.

App Builder: Create a working app in minutes.

The new App Builder features allow users to create and publish fully functional apps in minutes, without setting up complex databases or systems. Users can interactively design dashboards, graphs, calculators, or list tools, with real-time preview and customization.

App Builder integrates seamlessly with content in Microsoft 365 like Excel, PowerPoint, and meeting notes, and can use Microsoft Lists as a back-end storage system. Sharing finished creations is as easy as sharing a document — just send a link to others.

Workflows: Automate tasks easily

Workflows agents enable users to quickly and easily create automated processes, whether it's sending notifications, managing calendars, or posting updates. Copilot interprets your natural language commands into complete automations.

Workflows can work across apps like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Planner, and external services like Approvals. Every step of the workflow is visible in real time, so you can easily customize and have transparency.

This feature is designed for general users, but still runs on the same infrastructure as the enterprise-grade Agent Flows in Copilot Studio to ensure maximum stability and performance.

Create a personal agent with Copilot Studio

Copilot Studio Lite Copilot Studio Lite, included with Copilot, makes it easy to create intelligent assistants specific to your organization's processes. These agents can access data from SharePoint, Teams, meeting notes, and email to turn that information into actionable insights.

When you're ready to expand, you can upgrade to the full version of Copilot Studio to create advanced automation, multi-agent collaboration, and enterprise-grade deep connectivity.

Security, Governance, and Control in Microsoft 365

Security and compliance are at the heart of Microsoft 365 Copilot. Every app, workflow, and agent is built on enterprise standards, respecting each organization's access rights and governance.

Administrators can manage access rights through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center with centralized controls and granular permissions to ensure only authorized individuals can create or publish automations.
