Microsoft Grounds Copilot Apps with Graph and Web Content
Message center notification MC734281 explains that Copilot for Microsoft 365 will get better grounding for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote from April 2024. After the update, the apps will be able to ground user prompts by using Graph and web searches to find relevant information.

The post Microsoft Grounds Copilot Apps with Graph and Web Content first appeared on Office 365 for IT Pros.
