🧠 Released Today: The Knowledge Agent for Copilot Microsoft is about to unlock a whole new layer of intelligence in M365 Copilot and SharePoint — and it’s all about content clarity, automation, and freshness. Copilot goes beyond traditional AI by leveraging Semantic Search and the Microsoft Graph to generate responses from your organization’s content in SharePoint – the world’s largest content platform - making effective content management crucial for success. Launching in public preview on September 18, the new Knowledge Agent helps organizations finally tame their SharePoint sprawl and turn content chaos into clarity. 📁 Smart Metadata & Autofill Tagging • Dynamically suggests metadata columns for SharePoint libraries. • Uses Autofill prompts to tag content automatically based on context. • Makes it easier to find, organize, and govern content — without manual tagging. 🔄 Workflow Agent with Natural Language • Build content workflows using plain English and “mad libs”-style prompts. • Example: “When a new policy is uploaded, notify the HR team and archive the old version.” • No Power Automate expertise required—just describe what you want. 🧹 Content Freshness & Link Hygiene • Detects obsolete pages and stale content. • Flags broken links and outdated documents. • Uses search history and user behavior to suggest new pages dynamically. 🚀 Why This Matters The Knowledge Agent isn’t just another Copilot—it’s a strategic leap toward automated knowledge management. It helps teams stay current, compliant, and collaborative—without drowning in manual upkeep. We’ll be watching closely as preview rolls out. If you manage content at scale, this is one to watch. 👉 Our blog post has all the detail in the first comment. Thanks.

🎯 **Trusted AI isn’t a buzzword—it’s the difference between an agent people try once and one they rely on daily.** 🧠 Today’s skill to level up in **Copilot Studio**:   **Describe your knowledge like a contract.** --- 🔍 Vague grounding → vague answers   ✅ Clear knowledge descriptions + reusable tools → faster, safer outcomes --- ### 📜 Knowledge as a Contract (The Underrated Pattern) Most drift happens when we throw broad sources at an agent and hope retrieval sorts it out. In **Copilot Studio**, the short description you add when connecting a source (SharePoint, OneDrive, website) guides generative orchestration—what to use, when to defer, and how to respond. Treat that description like a mini-contract: 🔧 Element 📝 Example Purpose “Use for HR leave policies; prefer policy PDFs over emails.” Scope “Only 2024 docs; exclude archived blogs.” Priority “Use SharePoint site first; fall back to website only if not found.” Boundaries “If legal terms are ambiguous, hand off to a human.” Format “Return short answer + 2–3 citations.” --- ### 🛠 Pair with Shared Tools   Centralize prompts, flows, connectors, REST APIs—then add them to agents from one place (Tools page).   ✅ Reduces duplication   ✅ Simplifies governance   ✅ Ensures consistent behavior across agents --- ### 🔐 Publish with Authentication   Answers inherit each user’s permissions—critical when knowledge sources include confidential SharePoint content.   🧪 Test in a demo site before broad rollout. --- ### ✅ Quick-Win Checklist (This Week) - ✍️ Tighten descriptions for each knowledge source (purpose, scope, priority, boundaries). Two crisp sentences per source is enough.   - 📁 Use SharePoint sites/lists as primary knowledge. Keep website sources narrow (avoid whole intranets).   - 🧩 Centralize actions on the Tools page (e.g., `AnswerWithCitations`, `CreateCase`, `SummarizeAttachment`).   - 🔐 Publish with Microsoft authentication; smoke-test in a demo channel/site first. --- ### 🚫 Common Pitfalls - ❌ No auth on a pilot channel → accidental exposure   - ❌ Over-broad website sources → noisy retrieval & slower answers   - ❌ Tool sprawl → inconsistent behavior --- ### 📚 Read More (Official Docs) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/guXDp9FW --- 💡 **Question for you:**   If you rewrote just one knowledge description today, which source would unlock the most clarity for your users? #CopilotStudio #AIAgents #KnowledgeManagement #EnterpriseAI #AIGovernance #PowerPlatform #TrustedAI #5MinADayAI ---

✨ Game-Changer Alert: SharePoint + AI Just Leveled Up! ✨ Microsoft has officially rolled out the Agent Link WebPart 🌐🤖 — part of the August 2025 update — and it’s transforming how we work with SharePoint. Imagine this: instead of jumping between apps or tabs, you can now launch AI agents directly inside SharePoint — in a sleek sidebar experience. No distractions, no context-switching. 💡 🔥 Why This Matters: ✅ Zero Workflow Disruption – Agents open in a sidebar, no navigation lost ✅ Flexible Placement – Drop links anywhere on your page 🌍 ✅ Smart Discovery – Now under the new “AI” toolbox category ✅ Scalable Design – Choose small, medium, or large link styles with titles 🔧 From a Developer’s Perspective: This unlocks huge potential for… ⚡ Workflow Automation – Context-aware agents tailored to your content 🎯 Better User Experience – No more bouncing between tools 🚀 Scalable AI Solutions – Especially powerful for SMBs 📌 Key Details You Should Know: 💳 Requires Microsoft 365 Copilot license or PAYG setup 📵 Not (yet) supported on mobile or email 🌍 Rolling out worldwide mid–late August 2025 This isn’t just another webpart — it’s a step toward the AI-first SharePoint experience we’ve been waiting for. Combined with SPFx v1.21 (Node.js 22 + TypeScript 5.x), Microsoft is clearly doubling down on modern, AI-driven development. 👉 What excites me most? It’s perfectly aligned with the “AI where you work” movement — embedding intelligent assistance exactly when and where it’s needed. 💬 Fellow SharePoint devs & IT pros: Have you tested AI agents in SharePoint yet? Curious how you see this shaping workflows in your orgs. #SharePoint #MicrosoftAI #SPFx #Microsoft365 #AIIntegration #WorkflowAutomation #FutureOfWork

For years, organizations have invested heavily in knowledge management - yet most employees still say: “𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥.” Microsoft's latest update might finally bridge that gap - You can now 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬. What does that mean in real life? Instead of digging through pages of content, your SharePoint site can now have its own smart assistant, trained on your org’s knowledge, ready to answer questions, surface insights, and guide people right where they work. This shifts the model from: 📂 “𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉” ➝ 🤖 “𝑨𝒔𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆” Here’s why I think this is a huge step forward: ✅ Faster answers - No more switching apps or searching endlessly. ✅ Built-in security - The agent respects SharePoint permissions and M365 compliance. ✅ Low-code friendly - You can build and publish these agents from Copilot Studio without heavy dev work.   For anyone building intranets or knowledge hubs, this shift enables SharePoint to transition from being just a content repository to becoming an interactive knowledge hub powered by AI.   Official Microsoft update: https://lnkd.in/eEJdM2Vy   #Copilot #SharePoint #ModernWork #AIAgents #PowerPlatform #AVASOFT #msftadvocate
