Following Microsoft’s exclusive licensing to OpenAI GPT-3 in September earlier last year, Microsoft has revealed the first practical use for the language model at Build 2021 today. The Redmond giant has employed it in Power Fx, the company’s low-code programming language, to convert text into code.

For the uninitiated, Power Fx is Microsoft’s open-source language for low code based on Microsoft Excel. It’s not entirely new as Microsoft announced Power Fx earlier this year. What’s new is the GPT-3 integration for natural language transformation to Power Fx code.

“Using an advanced AI model like this can help our low-code tools become even more widely available to an even bigger audience by truly becoming what we call no code,” said Charles Lamanna, corporate VP for Microsoft’s low code application platform.
