AI is changing who can build software. People who could never write code can now describe an idea and generate a working application in minutes, using any number of agentic coding solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But generating an application is only part of the equation. To solve real business problems, applications need to connect to enterprise data and systems, operate securely, and fit within the processes people rely on every day. And as more people become app builders, IT needs the governance and controls to confidently bring those solutions into the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing natural language app building in Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio<\/strong>, bringing agentic app creation into the same trusted, connected enterprise platform you already rely on. In Copilot Cowork, build apps with the new \/app skill<\/a> now available via the Microsoft Frontier program<\/a>. In Copilot Studio, build apps alongside agents and workflows to turn ideas into complete business process solutions, rolling out in public preview over the next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you start in Copilot Cowork<\/a> or Copilot Studio<\/a>, the same capabilities empower you to start with the outcome you want, shape it through natural conversation, connect it to organizational data, and publish an enterprise-ready, governed solution.<\/p>\n\n\n

Build an app by describing what you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

App building starts with a conversation. Choose App (Preview)<\/em> from the Copilot Studio home screen or invoke the \/app skill in your Copilot Cowork chat. Then, simply describe the business outcome, users, data, and actions you need. Copilot Studio uses agentic coding to turn your intent into a working app scaffold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can continue to iterate in natural language, inspect the app in preview, and review the underlying code. The experience is designed to serve a broad spectrum of builders: information workers can stay focused on the solution, while advanced makers and developers can go deeper into the app’s structure and code when they need more control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
