Fueling New Experiences in Microsofts 365 Copilot with Expanded Copilot Connectors Catalog Many employees don’t struggle with too much information — they struggle with information that lives in too many places. Copilot connectors help unify that fragmented data by securely extending Microsoft 365 Copilot to external systems. Going into 2026, across all enterprise AI tools, Microsoft has one of the fastest growing and most extensive connector ecosystems with over 100 Copilot connectors and counting. Copilot connectors integrate a wide array of enterprise systems and data sources into Microsoft 365 Copilot, empowering Copilot users to access and analyze information far beyond Microsoft apps. This month, Microsoft are thrilled to announce the General Availability of 35 new Copilot connectors built by Microsoft to meet your external data needs. This GA wave expands Copilot connector reach – from Developer Tools to Project Management, IT Service, Content Management, and specialized verticals like healthcare. techcommunity.microsoft.com/…
