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. Being able to generate accurate text seems like a good thing for an AI tool, and there's no doubt that better grounding will help. But why is it appearing six months after the general availability of Copilot for Microsoft 365?
The post Microsoft Grounds Copilot Apps with Graph and Web Content first appeared on Office 365 for IT Pros.
