Updated February 6, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon to Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat (BizChat): Users will be able to use CIQ to ground their Copilot prompts with third-party data from their Microsoft Graph Connectors.
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.
