Microsoft Power Platform stands at the forefront of this shift, offering an integrated suite of AI-powered low-code tools designed to analyze data, build applications, automate processes, and foster intelligent agents. As of early 2026, the platform encompasses core components such as Power Apps for app creation, Power Automate for workflow automation, Power BI for data visualization and insights, Power Pages for secure external websites, Microsoft Dataverse as the foundational data service, and Microsoft Copilot Studio for building custom AI agents and copilots. These tools are deeply infused with generative AI capabilities, including Copilot integrations that enable natural language interactions, agentic workflows, and advanced features like plan designers and agent feeds.This book, Microsoft Power Platform in Action, serves as a comprehensive, hands-on guide to harnessing these tools for real-world business impact. It takes readers from foundational concepts to advanced deployment, emphasizing practical step-by-step instructions grounded in actual organizational challenges. Through detailed examples, readers will learn how to replace inefficient manual processes-such as spreadsheet-dependent tracking, email-chained approvals, and fragmented reporting-with dynamic, scalable solutions that drive efficiency and innovation.
