> It’s “installed” at my company but basically refuses to interact with basic company data like files in sharepoint.

on my work computer - there's a sep. 365Copilot app that is tied into Teams,Sharepoint, outlook, and I believe our engineering wiki. Probably other stuff I'm not aware of.

I'm honestly shocked how often I use it now.

If I get a random Pipeline failure; I'll copy/paste it into the o365 Copilot app - and it points me to an email I didn't notice ~3 months ago about a new policy change, and then points me to discussion thread I wasn't on ~2 weeks ago about how to get in compliance with direct links to EngWiki 'how to fix..' documentation, and an Teams link to join the breaking teams Office Hours.

Just off a single ~1 sentence prompt and a stack trace

It's kind of amazing.

The part where it gave you access to a thread you were not a part of seems scary to me..

In this case your absence from the thread was probably an oversight, but in general there could be a very good reason for it

The only way I can reasonably interpret it is that it was a discussion on a Teams channel they had access to but weren't involved in.

this; it was a public channel I had access to, but never look at (I'm on... too many to keep up with, fairly large company).

Isn't that just indexed search?

No.

Search is part of this, but that doesn’t necessarily work from an error message.

It doesn’t mean you get the relevant parts of the thread either.

It certainly doesn’t mean you get a populated meeting invite for a relevant team.
