Power Apps: build custom business apps with low-code

Discover Power Apps, Microsoft's low-code platform

Power Apps is Microsoft's low-code platform for building custom business applications connected to your data, with or without code.

An inventory management app, a customer request tracker, a leave request form, a field inspection app: your teams can cover these needs themselves, without waiting months for development. Data stays within your Microsoft environment, with the security and governance that come with it.

Power Apps is built around four pillars:

From visual design to AI, every building block speeds up getting your apps into production.

1. Power Apps Studio: design your apps visually

The visual editor makes app building accessible to business users.

  • Assemble your screens by drag and drop: buttons, forms, galleries
  • Define app logic with Excel-like formulas
  • Publish your apps to the web, mobile and Microsoft Teams
  • Match the interface to your brand guidelines without writing code

2. Dataverse and connectors: your data at the centre

Power Apps plugs into the data you already use, in the cloud and on-premises.

  • Connect hundreds of sources: SharePoint, Excel, SQL Server, Dynamics 365
  • Store business data in Microsoft Dataverse, the platform's secure database
  • Reach your internal systems through on-premises data gateways
  • Apply centralised security and governance rules to every app

3. The Power Platform ecosystem: automate and analyse

Power Apps delivers its full value combined with the other Power Platform components.

  • Automate your processes with Power Automate directly from your apps
  • Analyse app data with embedded Power BI reports
  • Deploy your apps right inside Microsoft 365 and Teams
  • Extend the platform with professional code when the need justifies it

4. Copilot and AI: describe it, and the app takes shape

AI is built into Power Apps to speed up both building and using applications.

  • Describe your need in natural language and let Copilot generate a first version of the app
  • Add AI capabilities with AI Builder: document processing, predictions
  • Embed conversational assistants in your business apps
  • Refine every screen and rule afterwards in Power Apps Studio
