Microsoft tests AI that writes entire Power Apps from plain English
Microsoft added a preview feature called Power Apps Vibe. It turns natural language descriptions into complete solutions including Dataverse tables, user stories, and generated front-end code. The tool supports back-and-forth conversation to refine the output. It is currently limited to environments where code apps have been enabled and carries an explicit warning that it is not ready for production use. No pricing or general availability date has been announced.
Until now, building even a basic canvas app meant learning Power Fx formulas, manual control positioning, and delegation rules through trial and error. Most first attempts produced slow galleries and forms that only worked with small test data. Vibe changes the starting point. Instead of a blank screen, users receive working code and data structures generated from a prompt. The gap between idea and first runnable version shrinks, but the gap between runnable version and maintainable app stays exactly the same.
Analysis
Use Vibe to generate a small screen you already understand, then open the formulas and compare them to what you would have written by hand. Delete the generated version and rebuild it yourself before you trust it in any real process.
