SharePoint launches AI skills preview to guide Copilot on site rules
SharePoint has released AI Skills in public preview. Users can define context files to set rules for sites and build multi-step skills for tasks such as generating reports. These features improve Copilot responses by feeding it structured content from SharePoint sites. Site context memory and content generation are rolling out over the coming weeks. Access requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and opt-in through the admin center.
Before, Copilot drew from raw SharePoint data, often missing site-specific rules and producing vague or inconsistent outputs when apps pulled lists for galleries or forms. Now, context files teach Copilot your exact site logic upfront, ensuring reliable results for data queries. This cuts the guesswork in Power Apps formulas that filter or patch SharePoint lists, where delegation limits previously turned small tests into production failures.
Analysis
This preview turns your frustrating SharePoint lists into AI-prepped data sources, sparing you more Filter formulas that break at scale. Opt in today at aka.ms/SPAIoptin, pick your main list like expenses, and upload a simple context file describing its rules – query it in Copilot first to confirm your gallery will load clean.
