At Ellipcis we are super excited about the upcoming new features for SharePoint announced at the Microsoft partner conference keynote #MSIgnite.
SharePoint is at the heart of our business, and it is not only alive and well after 20+ years but is thriving at the heart of Microsoft 365. Now with AI, SharePoint is even better with a ready to go Copilot agent on every site.
Organisations are adding more than two million sites and uploading more than two billion files daily.

Copilot Agents for SharePoint
We are excited about the general availability of agents in SharePoint. These agents enable users to turn SharePoint sites and documents into scoped agents that are virtual subject matter experts for your business needs.
With Microsoft 365 Copilot, these agents empower everyone to quickly surface insights, expand expertise, and make informed decisions.
Every SharePoint site now has a Copilot agent, by default, so that users can quickly tap into this massive knowledge base.
You can use agents in SharePoint to find a document in seconds or get product support.
The ready-made agent for a SharePoint Site can't be shared yet. See Microsoft's support article.
We are already using the agent in our Microsoft Partner Resource site answer questions about agents in SharePoint!
Our resident Copilot gurus have are already been creating custom agents in other SharePoint sites.
See the Microsoft Tech Community article Ignite 2024: Agents in SharePoint now in general availability 🔗 for more details.
