Microsoft has announced the general availability of agentic coauthoring in Power Apps canvas apps, bringing AI-assisted development into production workflows. The Canvas Authoring Agent plugin allows makers to work alongside coding agents to build and modify canvas apps while maintaining control over the development process.

Here’s what you need to know:

How Agentic Coauthoring Works
With canvas apps agentic coauthoring, you can confidently integrate AI-assisted authoring into your production development workflow. Delegate large, complex, or repetitive tasks to an agent, then switch to direct editing whenever you need greater precision or want to manage your token usage.
Your App. Your Workflow. Your Way.
With the canvas apps authoring plugin, both makers and agents can contribute to the same app through a shared authoring model, allowing you to create screens, connect data, update Power Fx formulas, and review changes as you go. You can move between agent-assisted and direct editing whenever it makes sense, while choosing your preferred coding agents and managing how you use your token budget.
Let Agents Handle the Heavy Lifting
Through a dedicated toolset powered by an MCP server, agents can help create and modify canvas apps and screens, inspect controls and data sources, understand schemas, configure controls, and write or update Power Fx formulas. They can also validate changes and synchronise them with a live coauthoring session, giving you more time to focus on reviewing, refining, and directing the overall app experience.
AI That Works With You, Not Without You
Agentic coauthoring is designed to give makers more leverage—not take them out of the development process. You decide what to delegate, what to edit yourself, and where AI can add the most value, while keeping the governance, security, testing, accessibility, and deployment practices of traditional canvas apps.
