public records requests

Public records requests are a key tool for journalists seeking government transparency, and WindowsForum.com covers how Microsoft 365 Copilot is being used to streamline this process. A recent thread discusses how USA TODAY Network newsrooms built a Copilot-based agent to help journalists draft and route public records requests from within Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive. The discussion emphasizes that this is a deliberately narrow, accountable workflow where AI assists but human oversight remains critical. The tag focuses on the intersection of public records law, journalism, and Microsoft 365 productivity tools, highlighting practical enterprise AI applications rather than generic automation.
