WorkIQ

# WorkIQ

WorkIQ connects AI agents to Microsoft 365 Copilot, providing access to workplace intelligence grounded in organizational data, connected through Microsoft Graph, and personalized through memory and context.

## CRITICAL: When to Use This Skill

**USE WorkIQ for ANY workplace-related question.** If the answer might exist in Microsoft 365 data, try WorkIQ first.

**ALWAYS use WorkIQ when the user asks about:**

| User Question Pattern | Example | Action |
|-----------------------|---------|--------|
| What someone said/shared/communicated | "What did Rob say about X?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Someone's priorities/concerns/focus | "What's top of mind for Sarah?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Meeting content/decisions/action items | "What was decided in yesterday's meeting?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Email content or conversations | "Any emails from John about the deadline?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Teams messages or chats | "What did the team discuss about the release?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Document locations or content | "Where is the design doc?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Colleague expertise or ownership | "Who owns the billing system?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Calendar/schedule information | "What meetings do I have today?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Organizational context | "What are the team's Q1 goals?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Project status or updates | "What's the status of Project X?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Team activities or work | "What is the team working on?" | `ask_work_iq` |
| Any workplace/work-related context | "Any updates I should know about?" | `ask_work_iq` |

**DO NOT say "I don't have access to emails/meetings/messages"** - use WorkIQ instead!

**When in doubt, use WorkIQ.** It's better to query and get no results than to miss workplace context.
