Business value

With this feature update, your bot users can get answers directly from your organization's existing knowledge, and your bot makers can create and publish fully functional chatbots within minutes with no coding or design.

Feature details

The generative answers capability in Microsoft Copilot Studio lets you specify existing internal and external sources that a bot can use to answers a bot user's questions. The capability uses recent advancements in natural language understanding (NLU) and large-language model (LLM) AI technology to intelligently create a fully conversational response to a user's query - without your bot makers first needing to manually create individual topics for every eventuality.

In 2023 release wave 2, we're expanding the breadth of sources that your bots can use to generate answers and including files you can upload within the authoring environment. With this addition, your bot makers can leverage indexed file content, meaning they can create a dedicated knowledge base that your bots can use to generate answers.
