Agents grounded in SharePoint sites and libraries that summarise documents and answer questions, showing each person only what they are allowed to see. Licensing is through Microsoft Copilot or pay-as-you-go.
Also called agents in SharePoint.

Terms in this definition
- Microsoft Copilot
Licensed users get this workplace AI assistant, which grounds large language models in organisational data from Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps. It respects existing permissions, so people see only what they could already open; without the licence, people use the web-grounded Microsoft Copilot Chat instead.
- Microsoft Online Services Program
Signing up for Azure directly on the website, as a free, pay-as-you-go or Visual Studio subscriber customer, gives you this type of billing account. There are no departments or invoice sections; it simply holds subscriptions.
Related terms
- Billing policy
Ties an Azure subscription and resource group to the whole tenant or to one group, so that pay-as-you-go Copilot usage (SharePoint agents or agents in Copilot Chat, for instance) gets charged. Admins create them in the Microsoft 365 admin center, can have 50 at most, and a budget on one only raises alerts.
- Copilot pay-as-you-go billing
Charges selected Copilot services, for example SharePoint agents and agents in Copilot Chat, to a connected Azure subscription based on use. Admins configure it with billing policies, and the people using those services then don't need a Copilot licence.
