Microsoft has introduced a new method for building AI applications grounded in company documents, specifically for SharePoint Embedded. This approach bypasses the need for developers to create and manage their own vector databases. Instead, it leverages Microsoft Graph and the existing semantic index within Microsoft 365 tenants for retrieval. The system automatically handles user permissions, ensuring that retrieved information respects existing access controls, a significant challenge in traditional RAG implementations. AI
IMPACT Simplifies AI integration for enterprise document retrieval, reducing development overhead for RAG applications.
