Feature Details

In Power Automate console, we’re introducing a new option to trigger local attended desktop flows within a picture-in-picture window. Additionally, we’re enhancing the Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop cloud connector action, to support this new run mode. We’re introducing a new field called Attended mode in the advanced parameters of the action that applies to attended runs and enables makers to choose between running their desktop flow on their desktop or in picture-in-picture.

Finally, when a desktop flow runs in picture-in-picture, the information that the flow ran in picture-in-picture is displayed in the flow run details in the Power Automate portal.

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.

New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1: Create AI Flows in Power Automate

Power AutomateThis 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 18th of the new functionality in the Cloud Flows section is create AI flows in Power Automate.

Copilot workflows enable much more sophisticated automation of business processes. AI flows can simplify and accelerate the automation process by reducing the need for specifying the exact trigger and action sets to execute. This automation can adapt to changing scenarios and data sources by leveraging the AI runtime’s intelligence and reasoning capabilities. It can handle complex and dynamic tasks that involve multiple steps, conditions, loops, branches, and integrations.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Jul 2024
Early Access: –
General Availability: –

Feature Details

AI flows are a new type of automation that is authored, tested, and executed through an AI runtime. You specify just the intent of the automation and the AI chooses the correct set of actions in the correct order based on the input, context, and your intent.

You can author AI flows from the Create page or from the My flows page in Power Automate. When you give the system an intent, the AI generates suggested inputs/outputs and static flow values to use in the flow. These are items that the AI suggests. You can choose to accept or reject them and add your own inputs/outputs and flow values. In addition to inputs/outputs and flow values, the system also provides connectors and action that it can use to achieve its intended automation goal. You can again choose to accept, reject, or add your own.
