Work is changing at a structural level.<\/p>\n
\n Three forces are converging. The interface layer is shifting to AI assistants. Agents handle workflow orchestration. And an intelligence layer is consolidating information across structured and unstructured sources. Together, these forces mark Frontier Transformation<\/a>, where AI moves beyond basic efficiency to open new opportunities for creativity, innovation and growth.\n<\/p>\n \n This transformation also creates a new kind of business application: one that is integrated with the AI assistant people use every day, accessible to agents and grounded in the unique intelligence of each organization.\n<\/p>\n We call these agentic business applications<\/a>. The applications themselves still reflect real business processes. But how people interact with them, how work moves through them and how they connect to the rest of the business is fundamentally different.<\/p>\n Today, we\u2019re taking a significant step forward in bringing agentic business applications to life across Microsoft 365<\/a>, Dynamics 365<\/a>, and Microsoft Power Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n Interact with business applications inside Copilot <\/p>\n Microsoft 365 Copilot is becoming an interactive workspace for business applications. Dynamics 365 Sales<\/a>, Dynamics 365 Customer Service<\/a>, and custom apps built with Power Apps<\/a> will surface directly as agents with rich UX inside chat in Microsoft 365 Copilot. Agents using Apps SDK and MCP Apps<\/a> can also bring Microsoft partner apps into the conversation, including tools teams already use, like Adobe Express, Figma, and Wix.\u00a0This is the interface layer shift in practice. Instead of switching between applications, users state what they need in Copilot and the system responds. You can review data and take action without leaving the conversation. Copilot becomes the place where work gets done.<\/p>\n As an example, a human resources (HR) employee can now call on their custom HR app, built with Power Apps, right within Copilot to compile a list of office locations with the highest new hire counts this quarter, viewing the results in an organized table with filter options. Additionally, they can prompt the application to show the results in a map view, all without leaving their Copilot interface. <\/p>\n Or a customer service representative can begin their day in Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/a> by reviewing a summary of priority cases they need to focus on, easily viewing and updating their data from Dynamics 365 Customer Service.<\/p>\n Public preview for this capability will be available later this month for Power Apps, with availability for Dynamics 365 Sales and Dynamics 365 Customer Service launching in early April 2026. Throughout the next month, we\u2019ll also introduce support for this capability across a handful of Microsoft partner apps, including Adobe Express, Adobe Acrobat, Base44, Box, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Miro, Monday.com, Optimizely, and Wix. All pre-built partner app experiences will be accessible via the Microsoft 365 Agent Store for users with Microsoft 365 Copilot.<\/p>\n Bring Copilot and agents into Dynamics 365 and Power Apps<\/p>\n The experience works in both directions. Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents like Researcher and Analyst<\/a> will be accessible directly within Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and custom apps built with Power Apps. Employees get the same Copilot capabilities they trust across Microsoft 365 while staying grounded in their operational systems.<\/p>\n Customers can continue to benefit from pre-built agents in Dynamics 365, including Sales Qualification Agent<\/a>, Case Management Agent<\/a>, and Account Reconciliation Agent<\/a>, which help teams automate routine work and focus on higher value decisions.<\/p>\n Consider a seller working in Dynamics 365 Sales who asks Researcher to generate a full account overview: customer relationship management (CRM) context, internal knowledge, and external research combined in one response, surfaced in place. The unit of value shifts from \u201cfind the right screen\u201d to \u201cget the answer and act.\u201d This creates a more consistent experience across productivity tools and business applications. Work moves from insight to execution with less friction between systems. <\/p>\n Microsoft 365 Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and canvas apps in Power Apps will be available in public preview by early April 2026. Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps built with Power Apps will reach general availability by early April 2026. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required. This experience with Power Apps also requires a Power Apps premium license.<\/p>\n Microsoft 365 Copilot in Power Apps allows us to ask questions and make decisions directly against our Dataverse data, while also combining insights from Microsoft 365 when needed. The experience now feels truly unified, allowing our users to summarize complex operational data, trigger actions, and seamlessly access insights. We\u2019ve seen significant increases in the value provided to both our internal solutions and customer-facing products.<\/p>\n Peter Kestenholz, Founder & Head of Innovation, Context&<\/p>\n Grounded in your organization\u2019s intelligence with Work IQ<\/p>\n Underpinning all of this is Work IQ<\/a>. Work IQ connects signals from Microsoft 365 with operational data from Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. It follows work as it happens across documents, meetings, chats, and business processes. This is the intelligence layer: the thing that resolves entities and relationships across structured and unstructured sources, so agents and Copilot share a common understanding of what is happening across the business.<\/p>\n Decisions discussed in a meeting or email can connect to live data in a business application. Changes in one place surface where attention is needed elsewhere. And because this intelligence is grounded in Dataverse and your organization\u2019s own data, actions stay aligned to real processes and real context. <\/p>\n \n For example, when a pricing change is discussed in a meeting, Work IQ understands how that decision impacts active opportunities in Dynamics 365 Sales, surfacing the affected opportunities within Copilot for review.\n<\/p>\n Work IQ plays\u00a0an important role\u00a0in making business applications agentic. Without it, agents operate on partial information. With it, they act on the full context of the business. <\/p>\n Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can experience Work IQ with Dataverse integration directly inside Power Apps, Dynamics 365 Sales, and Dynamics 365 Customer Service in public preview by early April 2026. <\/p>\n See how it all comes together <\/p>\n Copilot, agents, and Work IQ come together as a system of work. Within that system lies a new generation of business applications: applications that understand context, respond to intent, and support execution where work actually happens. The business application stack is entering a significant architectural shift. What we\u2019re announcing today is one step in that larger transition. We are building a platform where applications, intelligence and execution converge so teams operate with more clarity and less overhead.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll see this foundation expand across Dynamics 365<\/a>, Microsoft Power Platform<\/a>, and Microsoft 365<\/a> as we bring more agentic capabilities into the flow of work. Agentic business applications are already taking shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Work is changing at a structural level. Three forces are converging.
