What is Copilot expression assistant?

This feature is designed to help makers build expressions (involving functions, static or dynamic data in the flow) using natural language. Makers need to provide a prompt describing the expression they want to build, reference dynamic data in the flow by their name, and copilot generates a working Power Automate expression on their behalf.

What are the limitations of Copilot expression assistant? How can users minimize the impact of the Copilot expression assistant limitations when using the system?

Expression assistant produces mostly accurate answers but isn't always factual. Because the underlying technology behind content rewrite uses AI that has been trained on a wide range of Internet sources, some text suggestions might include questionable or inappropriate content. It's your responsibility to edit generated suggestions so that your final copy is accurate and appropriate.

It needs a descriptive name when you want to reference dynamic content in the expression. It might pick a different dynamic content when you have multiple similar sounding dynamic content in your flow.

What operational factors and settings allow for effective and responsible use of the feature?

  • Ensure that your prompt is clear and descriptive.
