Recorded Tuesday, June 2nd 📹🎙️
It’s time to “talk to SharePoint!” That’s the big takeaway from my chat with Cory - you can, and should, talk to SharePoint. Its natural user interface (NUI) is ready. It’s the new face of productivity. If you’re exploring all the things Copilot can do within Microsoft 365, this chat highlights what to expect when your Copilot license lights up SharePoint.
I got the chance to catch up with Cory Newton-Smith about all things Copilot in SharePoint with clarity on core value, recent releases, and use cases that bolster internal collaboration and communication. Cory leads the AI efforts within the SharePoint product team at Microsoft focused on "AI-first content solutions and enrichments." She’s been in the AI business, starting with Viva Sales > Copilot for Sales > Sales Agent, recently joining the SharePoint team a little over two years ago to up level their AI game!
In the discussion, Cory and I talk about:
Copilot in SharePoint as it is now, June 2026.
The naming journey: Knowledge Agent > AI in SharePoint > Copilot in SharePoint. [Trivia: It was originally “Copilot in SharePoint” back in May 2023 😀]
Using AI to work with lists, libraries, and pages.
Skills, Agent Assets library, and how to get started.
What’s ahead on the roadmap 🛣️ [hint: things might get visual, HTML’y and dashboard’y]
If your Copilot license is in hand or on the horizon, SharePoint is a great first/next use case. Turns out, the best person to ask about your SharePoint content is SharePoint.
Give it a try. Happy ShareChatting!
