Summary

Copilot Code is a new feature in the Copilot app that lets people who are not professional developers build solutions directly within Copilot. It brings low-code development into the app and uses the Microsoft Copilot managed runtime to host custom solutions securely. The speaker relates this to managed apps and code apps in Power Apps. Copilot can already help users work with Microsoft 365 intelligence and delegate tasks; Copilot Code adds the ability to build with it.

00:00 There’s going to be a new newcomer into the Copilot app called Copilot code. And that is all about the ability to allow people that aren’t necessarily professional developers to be able to build solutions directly within Copilot. And it certainly touches on a lot of like, you know, we were talking about with like the low-code revolution. Now it’s going to be brought into Copilot where you can essentially directly within Copilot build any of your solutions. It comes with what we’re calling the Microsoft Copilot managed runtime where if you’re familiar with what some of what we’ve been doing with

00:30 the evolution of Power Apps where we introduced kind of managed apps concept or that kind of supports kind of the code apps. The idea that essentially is a managed back end for any of the custom solution that you want to go build and it hosts it for you completely in a secure way. Um, and now you can do that within Copilot. So, today Copilot is largely, you know, today is about helping you kind of do the tap into your kind of intelligence across what you’re leveraging across Microsoft 365. Co-work was a lot about like actually delegating tasks for, you know, you to do across

01:02 that create spreadsheets, create draft documents, reply to emails. Now you can also build with it with Copilot code as well.
