Microsoft 365 Copilot makes it easier for users to work with model-driven apps by offering AI-powered insights through natural language conversations. With this feature, users can quickly find information, navigate apps more easily, and get help to boost their productivity. App makers can enable Microsoft 365 Copilot to give users access to conversational AI that understands app data and provides helpful, contextual answers. Users can ask questions about their Microsoft Dataverse table data in plain language and receive immediate, relevant responses.
This article shows you how to enable and configure Microsoft 365 Copilot for your model-driven apps, both at the environment level and for individual apps.
When enabled, users can open Microsoft 365 Copilot in their model-driven app by selecting Copilot > Chat on the upper-right corner. For more information, see Use Microsoft 365 Copilot in model-driven apps.
