"As we enter the Era of Agents, the notion of Business Applications - of CRUD databases with a bunch of business logic - is collapsing. The logic is going to agents who are multi-repo CRUD: they won't discriminate what the back end is. They will update multiple databases." These are the paraphrased words of Satya Nadella, then Microsoft's CEO, in January 2025. At Microsoft Ignite in October 2025, Charles Lamanna provocatively announced that "Low code is dead (as we know it)". Signalling that the traditional split between Canvas Apps and Model‑Driven Apps is being eclipsed by an AI‑first approach, where Copilot agents generate modern Code Apps directly from natural language prompts. Shortly afterwards Bryan Goode, Corporate Vice President, Business Applications and Agents announced the move 'From systems of record to systems of action: Dynamics 365, agentic business applications for the frontier' So what does that mean for products such as Dynamics 365 and Power Apps that PREVIOUSLY were very static UI-led? Join me as we get hands-on to explore the evolution already being seen as AI drives the UI/UX revolution and we pivot to the concept of the "UI for AI".
