Microsoft's Copilot in Power Apps is actually two things, at least the way I think about it. First you have Copilot for Makers that allows you to create and modify a table using Natural Language. It can also add real sample data. Once you are happy you then click Create and it builds you an app to view and manipulate that data.


Then you have App Copilot. This is a control in the Power Apps app that users can use to interact with their data. The same way you can ask ChatGPT or Bing Chat about a topic you can ask the tool. The only difference is the answer are coming from your table data you pointed it at. This opens up a new world of possibilities, empowering your users to be more productive with their own data.
