Body (from Message Center)

We are announcing the ability to create workflows using natural language with the Agentic Workflow Builder in Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature will reach general availability on May 20, 2026.

How does this affect me?
The Agentic Workflow Builder introduces a Copilot-powered authoring experience that enables makers to create workflows in Copilot Studio using natural language. Instead of manually assembling workflow components straight in the canvas, makers can describe the automation they want to build, and Copilot Studio will interpret their intent to generate and configure the corresponding steps. This feature streamlines the workflow creation process by:

Translating user intent into structured workflow logic
Automatically configuring actions, triggers, and other components
Reducing the need for manual setup and technical configuration
Accelerating time from concept to implementation

What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
