Copilot in SharePoint (site agents)

Site-scoped Copilot agents that answer questions about the content of a specific SharePoint site or document library. Each site has a default agent, plus you can publish custom agents from Copilot Studio to that site.

• Default site agent on every modern SharePoint site
• Custom agents scoped to specific libraries
• Approved agent listing visible to all site users
• Permission inheritance from SharePoint ACLs
• Inline citations to the source documents

• HR site agent that answers policy questions from staff
• Project site agent that knows the contract and the meeting notes
• Compliance site agent over a regulator-required library
• Sales enablement site agent over the case study folder

Quality depends entirely on how well-organised the site is, and most are not. Setting it up well needs a SharePoint person. End users need a paid Copilot licence to use any custom site agent.

Custom agents require a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence (paid) for each user.
