Microsoft introduces team knowledge base for human-agent collaboration

Microsoft is introducing a team knowledge base designed to enhance collaboration between human employees and AI agents. Through the Frontier Preview, Copilot and agents within the Copilot app, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint will be able to create, contribute to, curate, and reference a centralized knowledge base stored in SharePoint.

This system aims to solve the issue of fragmented or outdated information by organizing content from emails, files, messages, and meetings into a specialized library of interlinked, agent-friendly markdown files. The tool is intended to provide necessary context for various sectors, such as legal teams creating contracts, engineering teams managing technical specifications, and sales teams accessing account histories.
