How AI is used

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code development tool within the Microsoft Power Platform. It allows users to create custom business applications using a mix of drag-and-drop design, generative AI, or custom code for more complex requirements. Applications can be deployed via browser-based access or mobile apps.

It is designed for a range of users, from business owners who can describe their needs in natural language to professional developers who can combine low-code tools with custom connectors. The platform uses Microsoft Dataverse for data storage and provides centralized governance to help IT teams manage security and compliance.

Buyers should confirm if their specific data sources are compatible and whether they have the necessary Microsoft 365 licensing to maximize the tool's utility. Because it is part of a larger ecosystem, the full value depends on how it is used with other Power Platform tools.
