The Power Platform development paradigm just shifted—and most developers don't realize it yet.

In this session, discover how Microsoft's AI-powered canvas app development—combined with GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code—fundamentally transforms how we build canvas apps. I'll show you how to describe what you want in natural language and watch complete, production-ready apps materialize in 8 minutes instead of 45.

What You'll See (Live Demonstrations):

• Building a production-ready task management app from scratch using only natural language prompts • Real-time synchronization between .pa.yaml source files and Power Apps Studio • Editing Power Fx formulas in VS Code with IntelliSense • Actual Git diffs showing exactly what changed in a canvas app

Technical Deep Dive:

You'll understand the complete technical architecture—how the Canvas App Authoring MCP Server bridges the AI world and the Power Apps world, what .pa.yaml files actually are, and why coauthoring changes everything for Power Platform development.

Real-World Production Insights:

I've deployed these techniques in production environments serving hundreds of users. I'll share what works, current limitations (delegation issues, sync failures, validation errors), proven workarounds, and lessons learned from real deployments.

What You'll Take Away:

✅ Installation checklist so you can start building AI-powered apps immediately ✅ Prompt engineering framework for generating production-quality code ✅ Real performance metrics: 45 minutes → 8 minutes for the same app ✅ Current limitations and proven workarounds ✅ GitHub Copilot CLI vs. Claude Code comparison ✅ Production deployment checklist for AI-generated apps

Professional Development Practices—Finally:

Discover how to version control canvas apps in Git with real diffs, code review apps with pull requests and inline comments, automate canvas app generation in CI/CD pipelines, and template screens across projects.

Who Should Attend: Power Platform developers, solution architects, and technical consultants who build canvas apps professionally and want version control, professional workflows, and dramatically faster development.

Prerequisites: Canvas app development experience. No AI experience required.
