Session Abstract

What happens when you give two AI app-building tools the same requirements? Do you get the same app, and which approach works better? In this session, we'll take a company's backlog and build the same business application using Power Apps Code Apps and Managed Apps through Copilot Studio. Through live demos, we'll compare the results, explore where each approach reaches its limits, and see how much work is still needed beyond the initial prompts. We'll also look at governance, licensing, and lifecycle management. Because generating an app is one thing, but choosing the right approach for a real business scenario is another. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of which AI-powered app-building experience best fits your needs, whether you're a maker or developer, and regardless of your current skill level.

I'm a Power Platform enthusiast, or as I like to call myself, a Power Addict, based in the Rotterdam area in the Netherlands. I work at Powerbouwer on some of the coolest Power Platform projects, always focused on creating real added value for users. My first introduction to the Power Platform showed me how much impact smart low-code solutions can have. Since then, I’ve kept building, experimenting and learning. What I enjoy most? Working with other Power Platform experts and pushing each other to the next level. I also love sharing that passion as a speaker. At events and sessions, I talk about the Power Platform, my experiences and the lessons I pick up along the way. Learn something new every day. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
