Microsoft Copilot Studio for Mining

Microsoft's platform for building enterprise AI agents that interact within Microsoft 365, across Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Word, or external portals. It combines low-code (visual designers for flows and topics) with pro-code (.NET extensions, custom connectors, plugins, and custom models via Azure AI Foundry).

Natively connects to Microsoft Graph, Dataverse, Power Platform, SharePoint Sites.Selected, and models hosted in Azure OpenAI, including GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, o-series, Phi, and open-source models via Azure ML.

Instead of building a chatbot from scratch, you inherit identity (Entra ID), permissions (SharePoint Sites.Selected), governance (Microsoft Purview), DLP (Data Loss Prevention), sensitivity labels, and auditing (Microsoft 365 audit log), everything your IT team already manages.

Stack we connect

• Microsoft 365: Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Word, Viva
• Azure AI Foundry: GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, o-series, Phi, custom models
• Dataverse + Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI
• Entra ID + Conditional Access: SSO, MFA, RBAC, Privileged Identity
• Microsoft Purview: sensitivity labels, DLP, eDiscovery, Compliance Manager
• Application Insights + Log Analytics: real-time telemetry and cost tracking

Live use cases in mining, ESG governance, regulatory compliance, and operations, all within the client's Microsoft tenant.

1. SharePoint agent for governance

Problem: Teams spend hours searching for policies, procedures, and technical reports.

Solution: Copilot agent grounded in SharePoint Sites.Selected. Direct citation to document, page, and section. Inherited permissions, users only see what they already have access to.

Result: 60-80% reduction in document search time.

2. Copilot inside Teams for engineering

Problem: Dam engineers must consult GISTM, ANM 95, ANM 175, and protocols during meetings and inspections.

Solution: Agent published as an app in Teams, voice and text, integrated with calendar, OneDrive, and channels. Mandatory citation.

Result: Instant access to the right standard in the right channel.

3. Intelligent triage in Outlook

Problem: Compliance inbox receives hundreds of evidence requests per week.

Solution: Copilot + Power Automate classifies, applies Purview labels, suggests policy-based responses, and escalates sensitive cases to humans.

Result: Zero missed regulatory deadlines, fully auditable trail.

4. GISTM / TSM / Copper Mark compliance

Problem: ESG audits require document traceability under standardized criteria.

Solution: Copilot with RAG pipeline over curated evidence, integrated Power BI dashboards, and automated export for external auditors.

Result: Evidence in 1 click, gap analysis in hours rather than weeks.

5. Operational agent (Dataverse + Power Apps)

Problem: Work order (OS), inspection, and water KPI data live in Dataverse; usage relies on clicking through Power Apps.

Solution: Copilot reads and writes to Dataverse via native connector, triggers Power Automate flows, and delivers inline Power BI charts.

Result: Conversational operations. "Show overdue work orders in Mariana" → response + chart.

6. Onboarding and training

Problem: New hires need to learn internal policies, code of ethics, and safety procedures.

Solution: Agent in Teams/Viva with interactive quizzes, progress tracking, and citations of official documents. Multilingual (PT/EN/ES).

Result: Measurable onboarding with proof of reading and comprehension.

7. Conversational water balance

Problem: Water data lives in spreadsheets, SCADA, and PDF reports; analysis is manual and slow.

Solution: Copilot integrated with Azure Data Lake + Fabric, reads SCADA via Logic Apps, and analyzes balances with engineering prompts.

Result: Water KPIs in conversation, not in spreadsheets.

First agent in production in 4 to 8 weeks. Without rebuilding SSO, user profiles, or permission paths.

Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access, Purview DLP, and sensitivity labels, with nothing to rebuild.

Everything inside the tenant. Azure OpenAI in chosen region (Brazil South, EU, US). Optional EU Data Boundary.

Application Insights + Log Analytics + Power BI. Usage, quality, and cost metrics in the dashboard your CIO already uses.

Message-based or consumption-based licensing via Azure, integrated into your Enterprise Agreement.

Lives where users already work (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint). Requires no new tool and no new login.

Visual designer for rapid flows. Custom connectors, plugins, and dedicated models for complexity.

M365 audit log, eDiscovery, Compliance Manager. Every interaction traceable, compliant with GISTM, TSM, and ANM.

We do not sell licenses. We deliver the agent, complete, governed, and adopted.

• 1 Editorial discovery Voice, scope, refusal, and ritual document, tailored to the client's Purview policies and SharePoint taxonomy. 2 weeks.
• 2 Knowledge curation Source inventory, versioning, provenance, and curation box. RAG over documents you truly trust. 1-2 weeks.
• 3 Tenant deployment Copilot Studio published within the client's tenant. Connection to SharePoint (Sites.Selected), Dataverse, Power Platform, and Azure OpenAI. 2-3 weeks.
• 4 Safety engineering Refusal patterns, PII handling, defenses against prompt injection, grounded responses, human-in-the-loop for sensitive actions.
• 5 Red-team & evals Scenario evaluations in PT/EN, adversarial prompts, regression testing on every base update, and human-signed quality reports.
• 6 Internal team enablement Training for the client's M365 team to operate, curate, and expand the agent, without long-term dependency on Data Riders.
