Power Platform development changed: why professional makers need to start with a prompt

Writing on the PowerApps911 blog, Shane Young stated that he gave GitHub Copilot a 480-word prompt describing what he wanted to build. 

He noted that in a single run, Copilot created a working Power Platform request solution that included Dataverse tables, security settings, a model-driven app, a canvas app, and three Power Automate flows. Young wrote that the first build took 44 minutes and used 661 credits, which he estimated would cost less than $7. 

For developers who build Power Platform solutions, this shows how the process is changing. He stated that instead of starting by dragging and dropping components, developers can now describe what they want to build and let Copilot create it.

In his post, Young provided a practical look at building a Power Platform solution with a prompt and what it means for professional makers.
