Near-Term Roadmap (2026–2027)

Power Apps receives frequent updates that are announced and arrive in semiannual waves. Improvements that arrived in 2026 include the following:

Vibe-coding tool. A new alternative app development experience to the Power Apps design tool lets makers do all app-building tasks with natural language (so-called vibe coding) rather than work with forms, properties, and other coding elements directly. The tool could widen the audience for Power Apps and speed productivity with the service.

Agent task pane in model-driven apps. Model-driven apps can expose a pane that lets users observe and interact with AI agents working in the background with the Power Apps MCP server. The pane keeps users updated with agent activity and indicates when agents need users to take action.
