Copilot in Power Automate Process Mining is a natural-language assistant for analyzing business processes. After a process has been imported into Power Automate Process Mining, you open the assistant pane and ask questions in plain English instead of digging through the process map by hand. It can surface top insights, recommend areas for automation, answer questions about your process data and answer general questions about process mining. It works from process statistics such as activity, edge and case counts, total and average durations, and rework figures. It belongs to Microsoft's Power Automate platform and runs in both the web app and the desktop app.
This capability is aimed at process analysts, operations managers, business analysts and automation teams who already use process mining but want faster answers. Newcomers benefit from the prepared prompt suggestions, which give a quick start without knowing the data model. Experienced analysts can ask direct statistical questions and use the summaries in reports. Using it requires a Power Platform environment, and an admin can switch the feature on or off in the Power Platform admin center. In some regions outside the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, cross-geo calls must be enabled first.
Typical scenarios include asking for the most common variant of an order-to-cash flow, finding which activity occurs most often, or checking which activities have the highest rework percentage. Analysts can request a written summary of a process to share with stakeholders, or ask for automation recommendations to decide which steps to hand to a flow. Teams in finance, procurement, customer service and IT operations can apply the same questions to their own imported event logs. The answers help prioritize which bottlenecks to investigate in more detail before building cloud or desktop flows.
