Generate custom workflow interfaces from natural language

GitHub Copilot app canvases let developers describe a workflow in plain English and have the agent generate a usable interface such as a dashboard, form, checklist, spreadsheet, or kanban board without manually building the UI.

Why the human is still essential here

A human still defines the workflow, decides what the interface should support, and evaluates whether the generated canvas matches team needs before using it in real work.

How people use this
