"The App Builder is similar in some sense to AI " vibe coding " tools that have gained traction of late, said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates. The feature may appeal to "staff like marketing, sales, HR, etc., that need to build simple apps that users can interact with, and not have to take weeks or months by delegating the app creation to devop staff," he said."
"In addition, a new Workflows agent coming to M365 Copilot lets users set up workflows such as sending emails or managing calendars with natural language prompts. It's based on the existing Agent Flows feature in Copilot Studio, Microsoft said. Users first describe a task - perhaps a software bug reporting workflow that automatically replies to the sender, confirming that their request is being handled."
"The agent will then generate the workflow, connecting to apps such as Outlook and Teams when necessary. A visual outline of the automated tasks is shown, with users able to make changes using natural language. How the automation is used can be trakced once it's live."
The App Builder resembles recent AI "vibe coding" tools and targets non-developer staff such as marketing, sales, and HR who need simple interactive apps without relying on devops. A new Workflows agent in M365 Copilot allows users to create automations like sending emails or managing calendars using natural language prompts. The Workflows agent builds on the Agent Flows capability from Copilot Studio. Users describe a task, the agent generates the workflow and connects to apps like Outlook and Teams. A visual outline of tasks appears, users can modify it with natural language, and usage can be tracked once live.
