Revolutionizing Mobile Workflows with AI
Introducing new copilot answer control (Public Preview). Frontline workers using their phone to access Power Apps need access to AI-synthesized information inline. This control enables makers to set predefined prompts that end users can quickly use to get insights using a single click, powered by Microsoft Copilot.
This control has been optimized for mobile experiences and will bring answers to users’ common questions right at their fingertips. Getting an answer to commonly asked questions without needing to deep dive into the app will bring users to faster insights. It enables them to be productive in their day-to-day work.
For example, if the source data is the daily schedule of an HVAC technician, and the preset question is “When is my next appointment?” the control will always show the time at which the next appointment starts. This control auto-updates itself to reflect the time of the next appointment, as the technician progresses through their day.
