Introduction 

The Microsoft 365 integration allows CometAI to work with your Microsoft account services - such as OneDrive and SharePoint - directly inside conversations and assistants. Once connected, you can attach files from OneDrive or SharePoint, and ask CometAI to summarize or generate. CometAI only acts when you request it, and it stays within your existing Microsoft 365 permissions.

Microsoft 365 integration is especially useful for everyday work involving email, meetings, shared documents, and file-based research without leaving CometAI.

Key Features

• Connect Microsoft Drive Services: Link OneDrive and SharePoint from Integrations.
• Browse and Attach Files: Open OneDrive or SharePoint from the Files picker and attach documents to chat.
• Use Files with Assistants: Attach drive files as assistant data sources.
• Permission-Based Access: CometAI can only access files you already have permission to use in Microsoft 365.
• Integrated Experience: Work with Microsoft files without downloading them first or switching tools
