Support for M365 (SharePoint Online, OneDrive) content

This is a native feature of M365 Copilot. I would consider it as a solution for access M365/SP content if possible. We have added SP connectivity to the backlog, but it is not yet planned.

Correct. But If need a copilot embedded in a website that can access M365 docs, my current option is PVA and that is not viable when customers are not in power platform space.

@nkidambi can you please provide user stories for this ask? Specifically how you see the functionality working. My assumption is that you don't want all files in SharePoint, so understanding how files/folders/content will be chosen is important. If you have thoughts on this, please post here.

Sure. 2 of my customers - NIH and USPS - have documents in SharePoint and would like to use ChatGPT style bot from their web pages / custom canvas apps. Below are the high-level steps on how I see it working. Please reach out if I can clarify more.

The way I see it is -

1. Get the SharePoint URL for the site that has the documents. It could be multiple sites OR wire up a webhook that is called when new files are added to SharePoint that will pass the URL of the document to the site
2. Upload the site URL (or the URL from step 1 webhook) to a blob
3. Extract the URL, using Microsoft Graph to get contents and metadata about the file and pipe it through the existing architecture. The "filter" attribute can be leverage to classify metadata about the documents and the RBAC of the user who can see it. The URL of the document should point back to SharePoint and not Blob.
4. The existing document ingestion kicks in and is added to the Azure AI search.
5. Now we can ask questions about SharePoint contents.

This is included as part of the planned 1.1 release. We do not include pages though, only documents.

This is resolved as part of the imminent 1.1 release
