Power Apps MCP server introduces closed-loop learning for enterprise agents

Writing on the Microsoft Power Platform blog, Srihari Srinivasa noted that enterprise AI has made it easier than ever to build AI agents. However, teaching those agents how your company actually works is still difficult. 

Srinivasa wrote that organizations often have to provide documents, write detailed instructions, or hire data science teams to train, test, and improve the agents. For IT leaders managing large numbers of agents, this limits how much company knowledge the agents can use and creates more work as additional agents are deployed.

To address this, Srinivasa stated that Microsoft has introduced closed-loop learning for agents connected to the Power Apps MCP server, beginning with the data entry tool. 

In his blog post, Srinivasa explained in detail how closed-loop learning works 

New and improved: computer-using agents, a new workflows experience, and real-time voice experiences

On the Microsoft Copilot Studio Blog, Nitasha Chopra wrote that expectations for AI agents are changing rapidly. 

She pointed out that organizations want agents to do more than answer questions. They want them to help complete tasks, work with business applications, run workflows, connect across different tools, and provide better customer support across multiple channels.

However, Chopra stated that getting to that point isn't always easy.  

In her post, Chopra discussed how Microsoft's latest updates to Copilot Studio help organizations create more connected and flexible automation systems. She noted that the goal is to combine structured processes where they're needed with adaptive AI capabilities where they can add the most value.

Calling Dataverse actions and functions from Power Apps code apps

On the Inogic blog, Sam Kumar wrote that when developers are building Power Apps code apps, they often need to connect directly to Dataverse to run business processes.
