SharePoint Agents

SharePoint Agents are another groundbreaking feature that was introduced. These agents are tailored assistants for key content sets such as HR, Finance, and R&D. They help users access and manage information quickly and securely, transforming the way we interact with content. The agents are designed to be easy to create and use, enabling organizations to unlock their knowledge and embrace AI innovation.

Flexible Sections

A significant update to the SharePoint user experience is the introduction of flexible sections. This feature allows users to access all 12 columns on the canvas, freely move elements around, and resize them as needed. This flexibility unlocks a ton of possibilities for creating beautiful and functional pages.

Autofill and Metadata Management

The new autofill feature enriches your document content by using AI prompts to extract and generate structured metadata. This automation saves time and improves the organization of documents, making it easier to build new views, filters, and business processes. For example, the product summary column provides a quick overview of each document’s content by generating a brief two-sentence summary for each file, which updates automatically when new files are uploaded. This showcases the convenience and efficiency of autofill in action.
