RPA Natural Language to Workflow
Describe the work
Design the flow
Making automation start with everyday language. I helped shape the vision and led key design work for Describe it to design it in Power Automate.
01 / At a glance
A process before a diagram
People know what they want to automate, but creating a workflow can require unfamiliar concepts and configuration.
Connect intent to the designer
I partnered with PM, engineering and research to define the experience, from the first description to an editable flow.
A useful starting point
Natural-language descriptions generate suggested workflows that people can configure and improve with Copilot.
02 / The experience
Your words
A working direction
Follow a description into a suggested flow, then continue refining it in the designer.
- 01 / 03 Describe
Start with what should happen
The entry point invites people to explain their automation in natural language, with examples to help them get started.
Describe a process directly from the Power Automate home experience. - 02 / 03 Review
See the suggested flow
The proposed sequence makes the interpretation visible before the person continues to connections and setup.
A generated flow preview translates the description into a sequence of actions. - 03 / 03 Refine
Keep shaping the result
The flow remains editable in the designer. Copilot can help people iterate as the automation becomes more specific.
The flow designer and Copilot conversation support continued refinement.
03 / Design & leadership
From a first sentence
to the right details
I focused on lowering the barrier to entry while keeping the experience connected to the capabilities of Power Automate.
Make setup part of the journey
Generating a flow is one part of getting it ready to use. A guided connection step keeps the necessary service configuration in context.
Show what can still be changed
The flow details step exposes the configuration before the full designer. The experience gives people opportunities to review and refine the suggestion.
Let research shape the iteration
I worked with research, engineering and PM partners, incorporating user feedback and data into the design of key features.
04 / What changed
More people
More possibilities
Natural language opened another way to create and iterate on workflows in Power Automate.
Start without flow expertise
People can describe their process rather than configure every action from a blank canvas.
Improve through conversation
AI suggestions help people refine the automation as they develop their requirements.
Stay within Power Automate
The experience connects natural-language creation to service connections and the existing flow designer.
