Generative AI tools are nice to have, but the LLMs used by these tools must come from somewhere. The impact of generative AI on technology websites is very real and will have a far reaching effect if websites close due to reduced traffic and revenues. How will the LLMs used by generative AI refresh their knowledge base if websites don’t create that information for them (for free)?
A recent article about analyzing interaction records for Microsoft 365 Copilot led to the question if it’s possible to do the same for Microsoft Copilot. After checking the compliance records captured by the Microsoft 365 substrate, we discovered that Microsoft Copilot generates compliance records. However, a bug with encoded text means that the information captured for responses from Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft 365 Chat isn’t visible. All explained here.
Copilot Pages are part of the September 2024 Copilot Wave 2 announcement. They’re a good way to capture the text generated by Copilot in response to a prompt. Each Copilot page is a Loop component stored in a SharePoint Embedded container. Figuring out how to manage these containers will take a little time, especially as Microsoft hasn’t yet delivered the APIs needed to do the job.
The August 15 announcement that Microsoft Copilot (the version that doesn’t use the Graph) will benefit from enterprise data protection from September is good news. However, Microsoft said nothing about the security issues around Copilot for Microsoft 365 reported at the recent BlackHat USA 2024 conference. In other news, tenants can pin Microsoft Copilot to app navigation bars using a new control in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
