Details:
Coming soon for Microsoft 365 Copilot: When writing Copilot prompts in the chat box, users will be able to use CIQ to select Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft OneDrive folders using the existing Attach cloud files icon.
Context IQ (CIQ) is a set of AI capabilities from Microsoft that allows users to search for, select, and insert relevant enterprise or personal data directly into their prompts or conversations. This capability helps users to "ground" or anchor their prompts in specific, contextually relevant data, making responses more accurate, specific, and useful.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.
