A policy bot powered by Copilot connects directly to your HR content in SharePoint (policies, handbooks, FAQs, templates) and uses retrieval‑augmented generation so that, when someone asks “How many days sick pay?”, it fetches the relevant passages and answers in plain English. Copilot respects existing permissions, so people only see information they’re allowed to access, and can show citations or links back to the source policy so staff can read the full context.
This removes the need to hunt through PDFs or email HR for basic questions, and ensures answers are consistent and based on the latest approved documents rather than hearsay. As usage grows, the questions employees ask through Copilot highlight which policies are unclear or hard to find, so you can improve the underlying content and structure.
