Pia AI Automation Builder: Describe It, Pia Builds It | Pia

Written by Larissa Varela | Aug 7, 2026, 6:42:16 AM

Building automations in Pia just got faster. The new AI Automation Builder, built into the Pia VS Code extension and powered by Microsoft Copilot, lets you describe what you want to automate in plain language, and it builds the complete solution for you, no manual package building required.

In this sneak peek, Ranju Manandhar, Product Delivery Lead at Pia, walks through how it works:

  • Draws on 12+ specialized Pia instruction sets covering packages, activities, forms, smart forms, and Tech Assist
  • Generates a complete package: activities, forms, and a workflow diagram showing how everything connects
  • Scans your existing repository and reuses assets where appropriate
  • Validates every generated component against Pia best practices

Instead of building every piece by hand, define the outcome you want and let the AI Automation Builder handle the implementation, a fast path from automation idea to working solution without leaving your VS Code workflow.

This is a sneak peek. Full release notes and detailed articles are available on the Pia Knowledge Portal.
