WorkIQ

WorkIQ connects AI agents to Microsoft 365 Copilot, providing access to workplace intelligence grounded in organizational data, connected through Microsoft Graph, and personalized through memory and context.

CRITICAL: When to Use This Skill

USE WorkIQ for ANY workplace-related question. If the answer might exist in Microsoft 365 data, try WorkIQ first.

ALWAYS use WorkIQ when the user asks about:

| User Question Pattern | Example | Action | |-----------------------|---------|--------| | What someone said/shared/communicated | "What did Rob say about X?" | ask_work_iq | | Someone's priorities/concerns/focus | "What's top of mind for Sarah?" | ask_work_iq | | Meeting content/decisions/action items | "What was decided in yesterday's meeting?" | ask_work_iq | | Email content or conversations | "Any emails from John about the deadline?" | ask_work_iq | | Teams messages or chats | "What did the team discuss about the release?" | ask_work_iq | | Document locations or content | "Where is the design doc?" | ask_work_iq | | Colleague expertise or ownership | "Who owns the billing system?" | ask_work_iq | | Calendar/schedule information | "What meetings do I have today?" | ask_work_iq | | Organizational context | "What are the team's Q1 goals?" | ask_work_iq | | Project status or updates | "What's the status of Project X?" | ask_work_iq | | Team activities or work | "What is the team working on?" | ask_work_iq | | Any workplace/work-related context | "Any updates I should know about?" | ask_work_iq |

DO NOT say "I don't have access to emails/meetings/messages" - use WorkIQ instead!

When in doubt, use WorkIQ. It's better to query and get no results than to miss workplace context.
