Enterprise Power Platform development is slow. Creating screens, dragging controls, writing Power Fx expressions — it takes days or weeks. We built a tool that reads a Solution Design Document and does all of it automatically in under a minute.
The typical Microsoft Power Platform development lifecycle involves a Business Analyst writing a Solution Design Document (SDD), passing it to a developer, and waiting weeks for the first working prototype.
The "low-code" promise falls flat when developers still have to manually drag-and-drop hundreds of controls, configure properties, and wire up Power Fx expressions across dozens of screens.
The question: "Could an AI agent read an SDD and generate the MSAPP package directly?"
The system accepts standard Solution Design Documents. An AI agent parses the document, extracting the data model, screen requirements, UI layouts, and business logic into a structured JSON schema.
Using Anthropic's Claude models, the system writes the underlying Power Fx expressions and YAML markup. It supports 33 different control types, including galleries, forms, modern controls, and components.
The system compiles the generated code into a valid .msapp file and uses browser automation to interact with the Power Apps Studio interface, injecting the app directly into the client's Dataverse environment — entirely hands-free.
PowerCraft Studio successfully turned a 2-week prototyping phase into a 40-second automated run.
By automating the manual drag-and-drop labor of Power Apps development, we freed our architects to focus purely on the system design and data architecture. The AI handles the translation from design to working code perfectly.
This internal tool is the engine behind our Power Platform Consulting service, allowing us to deliver enterprise solutions at a speed traditional consultancies cannot match.
