Add AI Features in a List (Preview)

Microsoft Power Pages includes AI-powered enhancements that transform standard list components into intelligent data experiences. These capabilities provide AI-generated summaries, visual chart insights, and natural language search, helping users analyze data faster and uncover meaningful patterns with minimal effort.

What are AI Features in Lists?

AI-enhanced lists leverage artificial intelligence to automatically summarize data, generate visual insights, and support conversational search experiences. These features make it easier for users to understand large datasets without requiring advanced reporting or analytics skills.

Benefits of AI-Powered Lists

• Chart Visualizations: Automatically converts data into meaningful charts and visual representations.
• Data Summarization: Provides concise summaries of records and trends.
• Natural Language Search: Allows users to search using everyday language and intelligent suggestions.
• Faster Analysis: Helps users understand complex datasets more efficiently.
• Improved User Experience: Delivers intelligent insights directly within the list interface.

Enable AI Summary on a New List

1. Add a List component to your Power Pages page.
2. Locate the AI Summary for List option.
3. Enable or disable the feature using the toggle switch.
4. The option is enabled by default for supported lists.
5. Complete the remaining list configuration settings.
6. Select Done to save the configuration.

After enabling AI Summary, Power Pages automatically generates intelligent summaries and visual chart insights based on the list data.

Enable AI Summary for an Existing List
