AI in SharePoint (Knowledge Agent) – New Capabilities Available

AI in SharePoint, formerly Knowledge Agent, is being refreshed with expanded AI capabilities for natural language planning and execution in SharePoint.

Important notice about model usage and admin controls AI in SharePoint’s refreshed experience uses an Anthropic reasoning model to support advanced, multi-step planning and execution. In some regions, tenant admins may need to allow Anthropic as a sub processor for Microsoft Online Services for these new capabilities to work.
