Feature Details
Record with Copilot in Power Automate for desktop allows you to build desktop automations by sharing your screen and describing the task you want to automate—just as if you were explaining it to someone. During the recording, record with Copilot captures your voice, mouse, and keyboard inputs. It then processes and converts these inputs into a desktop flow that you can review, edit, and save before running. This makes automation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise, and significantly speeds up the process of creating desktop flows.
