SharePoint agents are AI assisted chatbots integrated into SharePoint that use Microsoft 365 Copilot to provide information and insights directly within the SharePoint environment. Users can interact with these agents to get summaries, find specific information, and stay updated on site content without leaving the page.
Note: To create and use SharePoint agents it is necessary to have:
- Microsoft 365 Copilot license
- or enabled pay-as-you-go service for SharePoint agents by your organization
You can create a SharePoint agent within the scope of a file, in scope of selected files or for the whole library. To create a SharePoint agent in for whole library:
- In the SharePoint site create a document library. Add files.
-
On the command bar click on the button 'Create an agent'. This will create an agent for all supported files in this library.
-
An Agent for the whole library scoped to your selection is created and ready to use. You can choose to Open the agent directly without further adjustments, or you can select Edit to customize its branding, purpose, scope and behavior.
To create a SharePoint agent for a file:
- In the document library create or upload the file.
- Select the file, open context menu (on the row or on the command bar) and click on 'Create an agent'.
The Agent is created and ready to use. You can choose to open the agent directly without further adjustments, or you can select Edit to customize its branding, purpose, scope and behavior.
