Until recently, if you want to invoke Server Logic from within Power Pages, this would have to be done on the client side using http requests and manipulating the data on the client side or by a limited set of predefined set of platform-provided objects. Yesterday, August 11, Microsoft announced the ability to invoke Server Logic directly from within Power Pages.
If you recently logged in to your Canvas App builder, you might have noticed that there are a few new screen templates that you can choose from when creating your app. These new screens, which are built with the Modern controls simplify the process of creating new apps, and the layouts are completely responsive.
In this post, I will demonstrate a new concept called MCP Apps and show how to build an Interactive Widget in Power Apps and use it in Copilot. This is game changing as Copilot will no longer be limited to only text based responses, but can provide you the response as a UI component.
The Power Platform Center of Excellence Started Kit has historically been a comprehensive reference implementation that demonstrates how to build sophisticated governance, monitoring, and adoption capabilities using Power Platform’s native low-code tools. This collection of components and solutions was there to help develop a strategy for adopting and supporting Power Platform while showcasing what’s possible with the platform’s out-of-the-box features.
Using and Interacting with the Dataverse MCP Server in Copilot Studio can be easily done using the step-by-step instructions in this article. This article details how to interact with the Dataverse MCP using Copilot Studio, however other tools such as Github Copilot and Claude can be used to interact with this MCP server as well.
In a recent article I wrote about creating a code app and using a Dataverse table to populate data into the code app. In this post, I will go over adding actions, functions and cloud flows and calling them from your code app.
In addition to the UI experience for creating Generative Pages for Model-driven apps in the Power Apps maker portal, you can now create these pages using AI code generation tools as an alternative development approach. With this approach, you can integrate advanced generation capabilities directly into your development workflow.
In October 2025, Microsoft introduced the preview of Server logic in Power Pages, which allowed the execution of business logic securely on the server to build more connected web experiences. Yesterday, April 1, 2026, this feature was announced to be GA.
I am a little bit late in the game, but finally found some time to create my first code app. In this post I will create a simple page with a calendar which shows events from a custom events table. I created a similar generative page previously and now will do the same as a code app.
Computer-using agents (CUAs) now deliver more secure UI at scale. When CUAs where introduced last year, Microsoft introduced their capabilities which allowed AI to see, understand and act across web and desktop application, the same as a person would. One of the drawbacks from the community was that the place that the agents would not scale was authentication.
