The new AI and governance features in Power Automate, the platform’s codeless automation tool, Microsoft said, will “span Copilot for Power Automate cloud automation and robotic process automation (RPA). These updates will enable users to build more intuitive, reliable, and fast authoring automations.”
Scheduled for preview in December, the offerings include generative actions that will accept natural language input and let cloud flows create AI-powered steps from it, and a Copilot expression assistant, currently in preview, that will help developers build expressions by describing what they want to create and referencing the dynamic data in the flow.
According to Davis, “nearly all the built-in governance capabilities have fallen under Managed Environments. The feature list has grown over time and was due for a revamp. The new approach includes new capabilities, but also breaks out the governance capabilities that existed under Managed Environments into three areas: managed governance, managed operations, and managed security.”
