Session Abstract

What if Copilot could really understand everything your organization knows, not just what sits inside Microsoft 365? Imagine addressing local files, shared folders, or even data from our own custom apps and instantly turning that information into something useful. In this session, we will show how to use PowerShell to build a custom Microsoft Graph connector that pulls data from external systems into Microsoft Search so Copilot can find and use it right away. We will start small with local files , then move on to examples that connect to APIs, databases, and in-house systems. With real-world PowerShell examples we can just customize to our own setup. Step by step, we will see how to bring data from sources outside of Microsoft 365 into Copilot so that it is part of the information people use daily By the time we're finished, we will be able to integrate, simplify and empower everyone in our organization ... to work just a little bit smart.🤠
