SharePoint Copilot: AI Comes to Intranets and SharePoint

It's no secret that effective communication and collaboration are critical to success and effectiveness.

And when it comes to creating and managing content on an intranet, SharePoint has long been a leading platform.

But now, as we step into the AI era, we're about to experience a revolution in content creation with SharePoint Copilot — a new innovation that makes it easier than ever to create engaging and visually appealing pages and websites.

Before we dive deeper into what SharePoint Copilot has to offer, let's examine why it's important to have a well-thought-out structure, policy, and training to ensure your organization doesn't drown in a sea of irrelevant information.

SharePoint Copilot: An AI-Powered Revolution for Content Creation

SharePoint Copilot is a new feature that harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs — think ChatGPT), Microsoft Graph and AI to create SharePoint pages and websites faster and easier than ever before.

With just a brief description of the page or website you want to create, Copilot will do the rough work for you and then work together with you to edit and improve it.

This means you can spend less time setting up SharePoint pages and feel confident that your site is using the best SharePoint has to offer.

But why is this so revolutionary?

Well, SharePoint Copilot offers a new level of efficiency and simplicity in content creation that was previously unthinkable.

It removes the technical barriers and lets users focus on what really matters: creating engaging and informative pages and websites that strengthen collaboration and communication within the organization.

Structure, Policy and Education: The Key to Avoiding Information Overflow

Despite all the benefits of SharePoint Copilot, there is still a risk that organizations can drown in irrelevant and poorly organized pages and sites.

To avoid this, companies must continue to put as much emphasis on put in place a well-thought-out structure, policy and training for its employees and editors.

A solid structure makes it easier for users to find and navigate the information they need, while a clear policy ensures that all pages and websites follow company guidelines and best practices.

Finally, training of editors and staff crucial to ensuring that everyone knows how to use SharePoint Copilot effectively.

SharePoint Copilot is a revolution in content creation and internal communications that has the potential to transform the way organizations create and manage their digital workplaces.

However, in order to truly exploit its full potential, it is important to also focus on implementing a well-thought-out structure, processes and training to ensure that the organization does not drown in irrelevant information.

So, if you're ready to step into the AI era and transform your company's intranet, remember that a well-planned strategy and structure is just as important as the most advanced technology.
