Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella showcased a ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) intelligence app built using Copilot, which he mentioned on the earnings call.
He detailed the specific development workflow:
- Planning: Used the upcoming Copilot code feature in their new 'superapp' with a single prompt and the /drill-me skill to generate the plan.
- Development & Testing: Leveraged Autopilot in auto mode to generate a full app with history, lookups, scenarios, and what-ifs, testing it with the /rubber-duck skill.
- Enterprise Governance: All artifacts, code, and data pipelines remained securely within GitHub Enterprise and Microsoft Fabric, under Agent 365 IT, security, and cost controls.
Nadella emphasized this is not about 'vibe coding' but engineering rails to create long-term reusable business value with strict governance.
