Knowledge preparation
Review content scope, owners, currency, metadata and duplicates.
AI & SharePoint Integration
SharePoint agents are AI assistants scoped to selected SharePoint sites, libraries or files, answering questions from that content within each user's existing permissions. Umbrella Tech helps Australian organisations prepare their SharePoint information, then configure SharePoint agents and other Copilot connections to approved knowledge. Staff find accurate answers faster, and the information behind them has a clear owner.
The problem
The challenge we help you address
An assistant cannot compensate for obsolete content, duplicated documents, unclear ownership or excessive permissions. If the knowledge is wrong or overshared, AI simply makes the problem quicker to find.
The outcome
What the engagement should deliver
The aim is reliable access to organisational knowledge, with named owners for the information behind each answer. We include guidance on checking answers that affect business decisions and on keeping content current once the agent is live. Where the underlying sites need restructuring, our SharePoint Consulting & Deployment service covers the information architecture.
How we can help
Permissions
Check sharing and access on the sites in scope so answers respect who should see what.
SharePoint AI configuration
Set up SharePoint agents, or Copilot Studio agents grounded in approved sites, and confirm how Microsoft 365 Copilot uses the same content.
Evaluation
Test answers, source references, restricted content boundaries and real user questions.
Security and governance considerations
SharePoint agents only see what the person asking can see, so permission hygiene is the main control. Sensitivity labels, retention and audit logging should be in place for the content in scope. We align the setup with your Microsoft 365 Security settings and your AI Governance & Acceptable Use policy.
Frequently asked questions

What are SharePoint agents?
They are AI assistants that answer questions using content from chosen SharePoint sites, libraries or files. Each answer respects the permissions of the person asking and can point to the source documents it drew on.
When should a business use SharePoint AI?
When staff regularly search SharePoint for policies, procedures, project documents or technical guidance and that content is reasonably current. A focused set of well-owned sites is a better starting point than the whole tenant.
Do we need to restructure every SharePoint site first?
The required preparation depends on the selected content and use cases. A scoped pilot can identify the information and governance changes needed before broader adoption.
What does implementation include?
A content and permission review for the sites in scope, agent configuration, testing with real questions, staff guidance and handover with an owner for each knowledge source.
How long does a SharePoint agent project take?
It depends on how many sites are in scope, the state of their content and permissions, and the remediation required. We confirm scope and timing during discovery.
