This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1.
The 21st of the new functionality in the Cloud Flows section is generate descriptions for cloud flows using AI.
Save time and effort managing your cloud flows with descriptions automatically generated using AI. With this addition, a description is generated for you automatically when editing the details of your cloud flow. This description helps you manage complex flows, create new ones, and use flows as actions in copilots.

Feature Details
When editing the details of a cloud flow, a description is generated automatically by using Copilot in Power Automate to summarize triggers and actions of the flow. You can adjust or change the generated description with your own or choose to keep the description up to date each time the flow changes. This capability helps with managing complex flows that might have been managed by others. It also quickly creates new flows with a useful description and ensures that it’s available for flows with the ‘Run a flow from Copilot’ trigger that is used to run actions from copilots and other AI surfaces in Power Platform.
When editing a cloud flow with the ‘Run a flow from Copilot’ trigger, a prompt displays to confirm or adjust the generated description if a description isn’t already set. For other cloud flows, the generated description is available when editing the description from the flow’s detail page.
