Power Platform | Copilot Risk Assessment Pt. 6

Let’s move on to the next step in our mini adventure. We are exploring how to create a risk assessment document for Copilot experience in Power Platform. We have already checked out the creator companion in Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Automate Desktop. Now, we will dive into Power Pages Design Studio.

We asked for assistance with a summary of the last 10 emails we received, but instead of getting a summary, we encountered a wizard experience that guided us to create a Power Pages site. We quickly created a site and assumed that the Copilot experience from the Homepage was only for creating or designing a site.

After creating a site, our Copilot companion is just a click away and, as shown in the image above, the greeting is much shorter this time.

Our next step is clear: we are going to prompt with a challenge. This time, the challenge is to receive a summary of the last email received. However, the response we get is a kind of an error message. Is there a technical glitch going on? We prompt again, but the response does not change, as you can see from the visual above.

We continue to check if Bing Search and the content of learn.microsoft.com are involved in any way. So we inquire about the Power Pages licensing. But Copilot doesn’t seem to have any idea on how it can assist us with this. Is it the prompt that’s causing the problem?

Here is another way to ask the same question, but the answer or reply does not change. This Copilot does not use Bing Search or any content from learn.microsoft.com. However, we can use it for other tasks in creating our site, as shown in the following prompt where we add a new section. This task is completed without any problems.

Therefore, there´s one last check which is about availability of Copilot in Power Pages. Microsoft informed us that our environment must be located in the United States or Europe regions as a prerequisite. However, when I selected a different environment, I received this:

The visual above shows the Copilot icon as available, but clicking on it does not open Copilot. Hovering over the icon reveals an issue with either the admin settings or the global region. I am confident about my admin settings (you can see that my region is enabled for data movement on generative AI features), so I assume it is simply not yet ready and more work is needed to make it usable in other regions.

Nevertheless, what remains is sharing with yours where to find more details on new AI features in Power Pages, so please have a look at:

As you can see, there are many ongoing developments in preview at the moment and we can expect more enhancements to appear before this feature becomes generally available. Therefore, when creating a risk assessment document, we should plan to review this chapter in our document accordingly.

We have reached the end of our mini adventure exploring Copilot experiences in Power Platform for creators, but there is more to come. However, let’s take a break for now as we have covered a lot of content so far. Don’t miss the next episode. Until then,…
