How To Create Copilot Custom UI Widgets In Power Apps


Copilot Custom UI Widgets can be created in Power Apps to transform straightforward text-based replies into interactive, visually rich interfaces within chat windows. These widgets can range from simple read-only visuals to fully interactive apps. In a construction firm example, managers can use a Construction Worker Management agent that receives prompts like "show me the July schedule for Atlanta" and returns a calendar UI widget displaying work schedules. The data model supporting this comprises three tables: Construction Job, Construction Worker, and Job Assignment, each facilitating task management and scheduling. The process involves creating necessary tables, configuring a model-driven app, setting up an MCP server, and designing specific tools for job schedules. UI widgets can be developed using the GitHub Copilot CLI with Power Platform skills for coding, focusing on intuitive and data-driven visual designs.
