Imagine you're in a meeting, and someone hands you a business card with all the essential information you need about a project you're discussing. You don't have to leave the room to find more details; everything you need is right there on the card. This is similar to what Microsoft 365 Copilot is doing with Viva Connections cards.

In the digital workspace, when you're having a conversation about a specific topic, these Viva Connections cards pop up in your chat, just like that business card in the meeting. They provide relevant information and tools related to the topic you're discussing, allowing you to interact with them directly without leaving your conversation. It's like having a personal assistant who hands you exactly what you need at the right moment, so you can stay focused on your work without having to search for additional information elsewhere.

These cards are integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot, which means they are part of the tools you already use, like SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 applications. It's designed to make your workflow smoother by keeping everything you need within reach, just like having a well-organized desk where all your important documents are easily accessible. This integration helps ensure that you can keep your attention on the task at hand, improving efficiency and productivity in your digital workspace.
