Unified Enterprise Data for Copilot Success

Many employees don't struggle with too much information — they struggle with information that lives in too many places. Copilot connectors help unify that fragmented data by securely extending Microsoft 365 Copilot to external systems.

Going into 2026, across all enterprise AI tools, Microsoft has one of the fastest growing and most extensive connector ecosystems with over 100 Copilot connectors and counting. Copilot connectors integrate a wide array of enterprise systems and data sources into Microsoft 365 Copilot, empowering Copilot users to access and analyze information far beyond Microsoft apps.

This month, we're thrilled to announce the General Availability of 35 new Copilot connectors built by Microsoft to meet your external data needs.

Key Benefits of Copilot Connectors

Breaking Down Data Silos

Organizations often have critical information spread across numerous systems. Copilot connectors unify these data silos by indexing external content into the Microsoft Graph. This means Copilot can pull insights from all your external content repositories and deliver more relevant, comprehensive results to users.

Improved Productivity and Decision-Making

Copilot connectors help employees find the right information faster by giving Copilot access to the data it needs to act on user intent, not just keywords. By connecting more enterprise data to Copilot, teams get the answers they need—so they can move with confidence and speed.

Security, Compliance & Trust

Connectors help ensure that bringing external data into Copilot does not compromise security or compliance. Connector data is ingested using the same strict protocols as Microsoft 365 content – encrypted, isolated, and governed by your tenant's compliance policies. Access controls are respected end-to-end: Copilot will only surface data that a given user is permitted to see. Data remains within your Microsoft 365 tenant boundaries.

Scalability and Performance

The Copilot connector platform is built for enterprise scale. From an admin perspective, deployment has also been streamlined and typically involves a small number of configuration steps in the M365 Admin Center.

Real-World Use Cases

Google Drive Connector

Many organizations use a mix of Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. The Google Drive connector brings Google Drive files into Copilot's index with enterprise-grade security and speed. A user can ask, "Summarize the Q3 planning document from our Google Drive and pull in any relevant milestone check-ins I had with team via Teams, emails and outline next steps." Copilot will retrieve relevant details from Google Drive files, Teams threads, meeting transcripts and emails, and generate a comprehensive summary.

GitHub Connectors

Development teams using GitHub can now leverage Copilot to assist with their code, issues, and documentation. A developer could ask Copilot, "What are the main discussion points on my open pull requests related to design documents and actions from recent meetings?" – the connector allows Copilot to scan PR descriptions, comment threads, design documents and meeting minutes to summarize key themes.

Veeva Vault Connectors

For customers in the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry, Veeva connectors provide significant value by bringing highly regulated content into Copilot. A Quality Manager at a pharmaceutical company can ask Copilot, "Find the latest approved SOPs and work instructions in Veeva QualityDocs for the tablet production line," and instantly retrieve controlled documents.

Getting Started

We encourage enterprise customers to explore these connectors and consider how connecting your data sources can address your business scenarios – whether it's surfacing customer insights from a third-party CRM, enabling self-service help through an internal knowledge base, or grounding Copilot in industry-specific content to meet compliance needs.
