Using Guru in Microsoft Copilot

The Guru app for Microsoft Teams is also registered as an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot. Ask Guru a question in Copilot Chat and get an answer from your Knowledge Agent, with sources, without leaving Microsoft 365.

👥

Access Required

Guru Access: Your organization needs the Guru app for Microsoft Teams installed, and you need to be signed in to Guru through the app. A Guru Admin or a user with a relevant custom role installs the app. Learn how to set up Guru's app for Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Access: You don't need an additional Microsoft 365 Copilot license to use Guru in Copilot Chat.

Where you can use Guru in Copilot

Find Guru under All agents in Copilot Chat. You can ask Guru questions in:

  • Microsoft Teams. Copilot Chat in Teams.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot. Copilot Chat at m365.cloud.microsoft.
  • Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. The Copilot pane in each app.

Guru doesn't respond in Outlook email or in comments in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.

Ask Guru a question in Copilot Chat

  1. Open Copilot Chat in Teams, at m365.cloud.microsoft, or in the Copilot pane in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
  2. Go to All agents and select Guru.
  3. Type your question in plain language.

Guru answers from your workspace's default Knowledge Agent and shows its sources. Answers always respect your Guru permissions.

What Guru can do in Copilot

The Guru app package includes Guru's MCP connector, so Copilot experiences can call Guru tools directly.

  • Copilot Chat. Guru can use read-only tools.
  • Copilot Cowork. Guru can use the full set of tools.

Guru can also use tools you've already approved in Guru. Microsoft 365 Copilot doesn't have an in-line approval prompt, so anything that still needs approval in Guru won't run from Copilot.

Note

Using Guru in Copilot Chat is different from the Microsoft Work IQ MCP source in Guru. Work IQ MCP lets a Guru Knowledge Agent reach into Microsoft 365 (such as Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint) from Guru, and it requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Using Guru in Copilot puts Guru inside Microsoft's experiences.
