tenant grounding
About this tag
Tenant grounding is a key concept in Microsoft's two-tier Copilot strategy for Microsoft 365. It refers to the ability of the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot to access and reason over an organization's specific corporate data from SharePoint, OneDrive, email, and Teams, providing context-aware assistance while maintaining data security and compliance. In contrast, the free Copilot Chat is web-grounded and lacks this deep tenant integration. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight how tenant grounding enables features like PowerPoint Agent Mode, which autonomously builds presentations from internal content, and distinguishes the paid tier from the free in-app Copilot Chat now embedded in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote.
