In this video from Microsoft Power Platform, we walk through all the major new features coming to Power Apps in the 2025 Release Wave 2. See how Power Apps is evolving with AI agents, smarter low-code tools, and improved user experiences.
Expect deep dives into:
-
The new Plan Designer + Agent Feed — describe a business problem and let a team of AI agents help build apps, workflows, dashboards (even Power BI reports) for you.
-
Improved Canvas & Model-Driven Apps: modern controls, cleaner headers/ navigation, responsive layouts by default.
-
Smarter data handling: Smart Paste (paste structured data directly into forms), offline sync control (Wi-Fi only) for mobile usage, and AI-powered form-fill assistance / auto-suggested values.
-
Built-in AI for users: Let Copilot help you fill forms, visualize data views (chart/graph generation), and navigate apps using natural language — no heavy coding needed.
-
Enterprise-ready backend via Microsoft Dataverse — enhanced support for agent-based apps, scalable data backend, and improved data-driven experiences under the hood.
Whether you’re building apps with minimal coding, managing enterprise data, or driving digital transformation — this wave brings powerful tools to speed up development, reduce manual work, and add intelligence to apps.

Q2: What’s the big new “AI” feature in this release?
A: The highlight is the Plan Designer + Agent Feed — you describe a business problem, and a set of AI agents help build apps, workflows and data-connectivity for you. This means much lower effort to build enterprise-ready solutions.
Q3: How does user experience change for app builders or end-users?
A: Apps (canvas or model-driven) get modern controls, cleaner navigation/UI, and more responsive design by default. For end-users, Copilot adds smart features like auto form-fill, intuitive data visualization, and data-driven suggestions — speeding up routine tasks and reducing manual input.
Q4: What about data management and performance?
A: With Dataverse enhancements, the backend becomes more scalable and better prepared for agent-driven apps. That means more reliable data handling, better integration, and improved performance under enterprise workloads.
Q5: Is coding required to leverage these new features?
A: Not necessarily. Many of the core enhancements — like agent-driven app creation, Copilot-assisted form filling and data visualization, and smart-paste functionality — are designed for low-code or no-code scenarios. Ideal for business users and makers, not just developers.
Q6: When will these features be available?
A: The rollout for Release Wave 2 starts October 1, 2025, and continues through March 2026. Some features may appear earlier as “early access” or previews.
