Feature Request - Add intent‑based flow creation and context‑aware suggested actions.

I would like to suggest a more guided, intent‑driven experience when building flows in Power Automate. When a user starts a new automation, the designer could first prompt them to describe in natural language what they want to accomplish, then automatically propose an appropriate starter flow, trigger, and key actions based on that intent. At each subsequent step, instead of primarily listing all possible actions and connectors, the interface could provide a prominent “Suggested actions” section that is context‑aware and continuously updated according to the user’s goal and existing steps in the flow, similar to intelligent code suggestions in modern editors. This would accelerate flow creation, reduce the learning curve for new users, and help experienced users quickly discover the most relevant actions without manually searching through long action lists.

    Liked the suggestion! This is one step advance, I was thinking that way when AI hub is in place or Planner. Yes, it would be nice if the designer receives the prompt and based on that prompt it will offer a non-functional but runnable skeleton of the flow with all the steps it needs to complete. 
     
    So prominent “Suggested actions” can be enhanced to "Suggested triggers and actions" with the proposed solution. This way the flow maker will get a quick ideas what to do (specifilly which triggers, connectors, actions) should be used beforehand w/o doing lots of Rnd.
     
     Thanks.

    Hi Sajeda,

    There is an option today to describe your flow, and Copilot will create the canvas for you. For the subsequent actions, the flow maker should already know what should be accomplished and if there are connectors and actions available. In case the description was complete, it should have been added as part of the AI generation.

    Nevertheless, I like the idea of suggested actions, similar to suggested items on a commerce web shop. When users bought this item, they usually also include.... If you then can filter on suggested actions, it will limit the list. Even when you are experiences, some actions appear based on several words which are usually not relevant at all.

    Note that this community forum is not necessarily monitored by Microsoft employees. I suggest to search for an existing idea and vote on it or create a new idea: Power Apps Ideas · Community
