Point Assistant

info

This feature uses LLM functionality which means admin opt-in required. It is off by default; processing runs through Microsoft Foundry (Azure-hosted models) in your selected Azure region, and your data is never used to train the foundation models. Take a look at the AI Data Privacy & Security and Enable AI features articles for more details.

Point Assistant lets you ask everyday governance questions in plain language - who has access to what, why a user is risky, what an account has been doing — without knowing which of dozens of reports to run or where each setting lives.

The Assistant answers from Syskit Point's own data: audit logs, users, workspaces, permissions, and reports. It turns "go look through dashboards" into a conversation.

Requirements​

  • An admin must enable AI features in Settings.
  • You need a Syskit Point account.
    • The Assistant answers within the limits of your Point role - it never shows you data your role can't access.

Open the Assistant​

  • In Syskit Point, select the Point AI Assistant icon (1) in the bottom-right corner.
  • Type your question (2), no special syntax is needed, or select one of the available prompts (3).

Initial Questions​

The Assistant covers users, groups and teams, SharePoint sites, storage, audit activity, Point reports, and Power Platform.

Try these to get a feel for how it works:

  • "Which groups and sites can Eva Green access?"
  • "Who owns the Marketing team?"
  • "Show inactive SharePoint sites."
  • "Who deleted (file name) last week?"
  • "Find sites nearing their storage quota and tell me where version cleanup would save the most space."
  • "(User Name) is leaving on Friday. Show their groups, sites, apps, flows, and ownership responsibilities."

Sugestions for Better Answers​

  • Name the user, site, or group as precisely as you can — name, email, or sign-in name all work.
  • For activity questions, include a time range: "in the last 30 days", "between May 1 and May 25".
  • Ask compound questions when you need a full picture — the Assistant can chain lookups across users, access, activity, and reports in one ask.
info

Please Note, the Point AI Assistant:

  • Is read-only.
    • The Assistant delivers findings and recommended steps; it does not make administrative changes. To act on a finding, follow the link into the relevant Point report.
  • Shows Point data only.
    • Answers come from data synced into Syskit Point — very recent tenant changes appear after the next sync, and activity answers are limited by your audit retention period. It doesn't answer general knowledge questions.
  • Shows no fabrications.
    • If the data isn't there, the Assistant says so rather than inventing records.
