Microsoft is adding AI support to the Power Platform low code development platforms called Copilot. You can use Copilot to help build your next App, Flow, or Bot. Copilot can enhance your development experience in multiple ways.

1) You can use natural language to describe what you are trying to build. Copilot will return a suggested design for the app, flow, or Dataverse tables which you can then use.
2) Copilot will also help you along the way by suggesting modifications to improve your PowerFX formulas.
3) Copilot controls can also be used in Apps to submit natural language queries about your data
4) You can also embed a Custom Copilot developed in Copilot Studio into your App.

Copilot won't replace you as a Citizen Developer, but it will help you produce amazing apps and powerful flows in a fraction of the time.

Copilot for Power Platform : Accelerating your Development with AI

In recent years, the amount of digital content moving to the cloud has been dramatic. This has undoubtedly made collaboration easier and more versatile, but it's also brought with it a new set of problems, such as oversharing, data exfiltration, and non-compliant destruction of data. Organizations like yours must ensure data is available when required and protected when sensitive.

Microsoft 365 provides a multitude of tools and features that can assist any organization in protecting its data.  Any one of these features can help a business protect its data, but it's the deployment of multiple tools and features that will help organizations build a true data protection program.

In this workshop, your data protection expert will take you through the many features of Microsoft 365 that can assist your organization in protecting its information.  Attendees will learn about features such as Microsoft Purview Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, Endpoint Protection, Insider Risk, and much more.  They will also learn how Microsoft Copilot for Security can bolster your data protection program and support your cybersecurity team in protecting your organization.

I am aware that there are many other technologies that are considered to be sexier than Model Driven Apps but allow me to show you how cool they can be.  When I am done you may have a different opinion about these secure and robust business applications.

Together we will experience just how easy and powerful creating native Model Driven Apps on the Dataverse can be for low-code and pro developers.

Model Driven Power Apps are cool, I will prove it to you!!!

Power Apps is a powerful tool for "Citizen" developers to use when building applications for a variety of data sources. But how do you use a cloud based application when you have little or no Internet connectivity?  In this talk we'll look at how to take a mobile Power App that was built using SharePoint as a data source and convert it to allow use of the app when offline.  Along the way we'll talk about the critical design characteristics for an offline app and the limitations inherent in this approach.
