AI and the Power Platform: Driving Low-Code Transformation at Every Layer

Generative AI is becoming foundational to how modern organisations build and scale solutions. In 2022, the UK low-code development platform market generated over $379 million in revenue and is projected to reach more than $1.9 billion by 2030. Around 22.3% CAGR growth is expected between 2023 and 2030.

This convergence of AI and low-code tooling is exactly where the Microsoft Power Platform UK shines. Low-code is now a strategy, and when you layer in AI, the one that Microsoft has embedded across the Power Platform, you build smarter, business-ready solutions without overloading IT.

The AI-Powered Core of Microsoft Power Platform

AI is deeply embedded in how every part of Power Platform works. Be it building apps, designing websites, automating internal workflows, or enforcing governance, Microsoft has built a system that turns AI from a concept into daily impact.

Here is how AI in Power Platform is changing the way organisations across the UK approach digital development, layer by layer.

1. App Creation with Power Apps + Agile AI

Let’s start with what most businesses want: the ability to build apps fast, without waiting weeks for development. That is where Power Apps shines, and with AI, it is gone from helpful to game-changing.

• The new Copilot for Power Apps makes app creation feel more like a conversation than a coding session. Describe what you need, like “create a screen to enter product feedback and filter results by score,” and it writes the logic for you in Power Fx. It can also explain existing formulas line by line, which helps the non-devs to tweak and learn as they go.
• Microsoft has introduced the App Agent, which lives inside your app and helps users interact with the data more intuitively. Whether you need a summary of customer feedback or a breakdown of trends, the agent can do that, on demand, without needing to call in a data team.
• Then there is AI Builder, already integrated into the platform. It allows you to plug in AI models for predictions, form recognition, and object detection without requiring any external tools. 
• With 2025’s Wave 2 update, Plan Designer now helps turn a business idea into a functioning app even faster. You describe your use case, and it suggests the app structure, logic, and data relationships for you.

2. Automation with Power Automate + AI

Automation is not new, but automating intelligently, based on patterns, data, and context, is where AI makes a difference. Fortunately, Power Automate has leaned fully into that.

• With Power Automate AI, you can now describe your workflow in plain English and let Copilot generate the flow. “Send an email to the customer when a new order is received in SharePoint” becomes a ready-to-run flow in seconds.
• For document-heavy processes like invoice handling or contract reviews, AI Builder lets you train models to extract specific fields and act on them. This turns repetitive, manual work into fully automated pipelines with zero code.
• Microsoft has also added a transformer-based recommendation engine that makes suggestions as you build. It understands what most users do next and offers relevant actions to speed up flow creation and improve accuracy.
• In the upcoming Wave 2 roadmap, expect more AI-powered connectors, context-aware actions, and enhanced automation analytics to help teams scale their workflows even further.

3. Intelligent Portals with Power Pages

External-facing websites used to take months to build and secure when data access, authentication, and responsiveness were involved. Now, with Power Pages, organisations can launch branded, secure, and data-connected portals using low-code tools for UK business needs.

• With Power Pages, even non-developers can spin up customer service portals, supplier dashboards, or event registration sites. These are integrated with Dataverse for secure data management and governed by the same policies as internal apps.
• In the 2025 Wave 2 release, Microsoft has also introduced agent-assisted development tools for low-code and pro-code developers for faster setup, guided components, and AI-powered form creation, right inside the design studio.
• The platform brings smarter security insights and integrates with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to manage user roles, permissions, and secure access for external audiences.
• It is quick to launch, offers scalable digital experiences that don’t require an entire web dev team. For any organisation focusing on digital transformation with Power Platform, this is the fastest path to delivering external services with internal control.

4. Data & Governance with Dataverse + Admin Tools

You can’t scale if your foundation is not strong. That is why governance is now core to the Power Platform, and not something you bolt on later. Microsoft has made major investments in making sure everything you build with AI and Low-code is secure, trackable, and scalable.

• At the centre is Microsoft Dataverse. It is the secure data platform that underpins everything from Power Apps and Power Automate to Power Pages. It handles relational data, permissions, validation and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics.
• The 2025 Wave 2 update brings a unified governance hub. Admins can now monitor environments, flows, app usage, and even AI agent activity from a single place.
• Microsoft has also improved role-based access controls for you to set who can build, who can publish, and who can monitor. This is important for organisations dealing with compliance when deploying AI-powered business apps at scale.
