Nasuni's new guides assist users with Microsoft Copilot AI integration

Nasuni, a hybrid cloud storage provider, has announced the release of new guides to facilitate its customers in harnessing Microsoft Copilot AI for the data repositories and operational workflows they manage through Nasuni. These guides will empower customers to unlock significant business insights and revenue streams through the use of Microsoft's artificial intelligence (AI) assistant across their unstructured data sets.

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant that comprehends natural language, helping to analyse data and provide intelligent responses. Nasuni aids customers in maximising the assistant's potential by generating customised Copilot experiences with their unstructured data sets. The Nasuni File Data Platform permits companies to consolidate disparate data silos to a centralised cloud, which can then leverage AI, thereby unlocking powerful insights.

Chief Innovation Officer of Nasuni, Jim Liddle, emphasised the importance of equipping the AI assistant with domain-specific data unique to each organisation, which typically resides within siloed environments. "File data is usually locked up in siloed environments that render AI impossible. With Nasuni, customers can centralise their data in the cloud and then harness AI. We've created our own Copilot chatbot, Ask Nasuni, utilising our Nasuni data - deployed in the Microsoft Teams environment for our employees to interact with. It's only logical that our customers would want to do something similar with their corporate information."

Charles Douglass, IT Director at McKim and Creed, expressed his positive experience with the novel guides from Nasuni. "Nasuni informed us on how we could build custom AI Copilots utilising our Nasuni data. We've now developed an initial Copilot and are keen on evolving our understanding of how we can refine it to facilitate natural language interaction with the documents within our business."

Also acknowledging the value of this integration, Marco Accardo, Director of Information Technology at RWDI, said, "Incorporating Copilot AI for institutional knowledge is a goal we are actively pursuing at RWDI. Nasuni has been guiding us as we explore this use case and seek to leverage the knowledge encapsulated within our Nasuni managed data."

The newly released guides from Nasuni encompass: leveraging Copilot AI with Nasuni managed unstructured data sets; constructing a custom Copilot by teaching it to utilise Nasuni data for critical workflows such as sales and/or support chatbots; enhancing employee productivity by tapping into archived institutional knowledge; and deploying secure, private Copilot iterations tailored to a company's specific requirements.
