The Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystem is undergoing a major shift toward agent‑driven automation, embedded Copilot experiences, and AI‑assisted development. Across Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, and Copilot Studio, Microsoft is standardizing on Dataverse‑backed AI agents, natural‑language administration, and deep Copilot integration inside business apps. Governance, monitoring, and data‑recovery capabilities are also expanding, signaling Microsoft’s push to make AI‑powered low‑code solutions enterprise‑ready.
1. Power Apps: User‑Defined Types (UDTs) Now Generally Available
What’s happening: Power Fx UDTs are now GA, enabling makers to define reusable structured data types for more scalable app design.
Why it matters: This is a foundational upgrade that improves maintainability and consistency across enterprise apps.
2. Dataverse: New “Agentic Administration” Skills in Public Preview
What’s happening: Admins can now manage Dataverse environments using natural language through new dv‑admin skills.
Why it matters: This is one of the first steps toward fully AI‑assisted platform administration.
3. Copilot Studio: Dataverse Becomes the Core Agent Data Platform
What’s happening: Microsoft positions Dataverse as the intelligence layer for Copilot agents, enabling richer business context and reasoning.
Why it matters: This unifies data, governance, and AI agent behavior across the Power Platform.
4. Power Pages: New AI‑Driven Server‑Side Logic Capabilities
What’s happening: Power Pages introduces agentic code skills for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, enabling AI‑assisted server‑side logic generation.
Why it matters: This fills a long‑standing gap in low‑code web development by enabling full‑stack AI‑assisted builds.
5. Power Apps: Copilot Chat Embedded in Model‑Driven Apps (Public Preview)
What’s happening: Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is now embedded directly inside model‑driven apps.
Why it matters: Users can query in‑app data, documents, and communications without switching context—accelerating decision‑making.
6. Power Apps: Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Enhanced Agent Feed in Preview
What’s happening: MCP enables agents to parse unstructured data and create records; the agent feed provides human oversight of agent actions.
Why it matters: This is a major step toward supervised autonomous agents inside enterprise apps.
7. Dataverse: Deleted Record Restore Now GA (Late April 2026)
What’s happening: Organizations can now restore deleted Dataverse table records.
Why it matters: This significantly improves data resilience and business continuity.
8. Power Platform Monitor Alerts Now Generally Available
What’s happening: Monitor alerts for apps, agents, and flows have reached GA.
Why it matters: Enterprises gain more reliable observability and proactive issue detection.
9. Power Pages: AI‑Assisted Form Filling, Web Agents & Governance Enhancements
What’s happening: New AI features include multi‑platform Web Agents, dynamic list visualizations, and stronger governance controls.
Why it matters: Power Pages is evolving into a fully AI‑enabled portal platform with enterprise‑grade security.
10. Microsoft 365 / Office 365: Roadmap Expansions (June 2025 Forward)
What’s happening: Microsoft announced 16 new features across SharePoint, Teams, and Copilot in the 2025 roadmap.
Why it matters: While not dated May 2026, these roadmap items continue to shape the 2026 rollout cycle.
Notably Absent from Current News
No new SharePoint Online‑specific announcements dated near May 2026 appeared in the latest search results. The most recent SharePoint‑related updates are bundled into broader Microsoft 365 roadmap items (mid‑2025).
