Microsoft previews team knowledge bases in SharePoint

Microsoft announced on October 14 that team knowledge bases in SharePoint are rolling out to Frontier preview tenants. Copilot uses Work IQ to turn emails, messages, meetings and site content explicitly contributed by members into interconnected Markdown files, making the knowledge usable by people and agents.

Microsoft announced on October 14 that team knowledge bases in SharePoint are rolling out to Frontier preview tenants. Copilot uses Work IQ to turn emails, messages, meetings and site content explicitly contributed by members into interconnected Markdown files, making the knowledge usable by people and agents.

Microsoft’s early internal tests in October reported up to four times faster agent responses and 30% greater token efficiency with a knowledge base; these are not general performance guarantees. Access currently requires usage-based billing, and Autopilot integration separately requires Autopilot access. Wider Copilot Studio and command-line agent integrations remain on the roadmap.

Microsoft presents Magnetar research on proving program execution

Microsoft Research presented Magnetar on October 15, a system producing zero-knowledge proofs for programs written in Rust, Go or C and compiled for RISC-V. The research aims to let others verify execution without revealing inputs or rerunning the computation.
