"Everyone is talking about Retrieval Augmented Generation, but most companies don't actually have any internal documentation worth retrieving. Fix. Your. Shit." I read up about Copilot as part of some internal research, and absolutely the first things to do for Copilot (I'll copy-paste just the line-item headings from the section entitled "Prepare your data for Copilot for M365 searches") is: - Clean out redundant, outdated, and trivial (ROT) content. - Organize content into logical folders and sites. - Tag files with keywords. - Standardize file names. - Consolidate multiple versions. - Promote data hygiene habits. Sigh. If I could do all this at an organizational level, I wouldn't need copilot at all.
