This Power Automate Governance solution delivers a tenant-wide flow inventory, AI-powered flow intelligence, and Copilot-driven monitoring across your Power Platform environments.
Power Automate Governance – Copilot Edition (AI)
The Copilot Edition elevates traditional Power Automate governance into an AI-powered, conversational oversight platform.
Designed for Power Platform Admins and CoE teams, this enterprise-ready solution delivers tenant-wide flow visibility, structured SharePoint logging, automated reporting, AI-generated flow intelligence, and an integrated Copilot Agent for real-time governance insights.
Beyond summaries, keywords, and complexity classification, the Copilot layer enables administrators to interact with their flow inventory conversationally — retrieving status insights, environment analysis, flow counts, and operational health metrics instantly.
Govern automation growth with clarity, control, and intelligent interaction.
The Business Challenge
As Power Automate adoption accelerates, governance complexity increases across environments.
Organizations commonly face:
- Hundreds or thousands of flows distributed across multiple environments
- No centralized, structured system for tracking flows over time
- Manual SharePoint setup and ongoing maintenance overhead
- Duplicate or inconsistent inventory records
- Elevated governance, security, and compliance risk
- Limited visibility into what flows actually do, their purpose, and their complexity
Traditional reporting and email-only visibility are no longer sufficient when audit readiness, operational oversight, AI-driven insights, and real-time analysis are required.
The Power Automate Governance Solution with AI and Copilot
This Power Automate Governance solution combines automated tenant-wide flow discovery with structured SharePoint logging to establish a centralized, reliable source of truth for your automation inventory.
In the Copilot Edition, AI-powered intelligence automatically generates flow summaries, extracts meaningful keywords, and classifies complexity levels (Low–Very High) to provide deeper governance insight.
An integrated Copilot Agent layer further enhances visibility by enabling conversational access to your flow inventory — allowing administrators to query flow status, environment distribution, counts, and governance metrics instantly.
Once deployed, the solution operates automatically, keeping your inventory continuously updated without manual intervention.
