AI in SharePoint π€
Do you have a SharePoint Ph.D.? Do you still need one to be productive? We hope not. Recent user experience (UX) updates and directions target you spending less time on learning SharePoint, more time on getting work done. βAI in SharePointβ takes a meaningful step forward. There's a short learning curve, and the payoff is real for numerous scenarios. Instead of navigating menus and configuration panels to build a site, create a list, or structure a library, you can simply describe what you need in plain language and SharePoint proposes a structured plan, asks clarifying questions, and helps bring it to life β iteratively and collaboratively. Itβs not always right. And you are always in control of final outputs.
Whether you're someone who has always found SharePoint a bit intimidating or a power user looking to move faster, there's real, practical value here. We've been digging into what AI in SharePoint looks like in practice, what works well, and where you'll still want to apply some human intervention β aka, the human in the loop.
SharePoint builds a plan from your description and iterates with you like a teammate.
π€AI in SharePoint = Having your own agency to make decisions with a little help along the way. It lets you describe what you need in plain language β and get back a fully structured site, page, list, or library in no time. Try it today, testing features like: Natural language creation, building site agents, adjusting layout and design, content cleanup, Autofill metadata, and more.
At Sympraxis Consulting, community and knowledge-sharing are at the heart of what we do. One way we put that into practice is by organizing CollabDays New England β the largest free M365-focused education and training event in the region.
Preparations are underway for this year's event on October 16th in Burlington, MA, and we're excited to announce that the Call for Speakers is now open through May 18th. Seasoned speakers, submit your session today. New to speaking? Our mentor program is here to help you get started. You can get more information on our call for speakers page.
