Most work lives in Microsoft 365. Now your learning can, too.

Through our partnership with Microsoft, getAbstract is now available directly inside Microsoft 365 and Copilot. Ask a question and receive an actionable answer with a citation. Pull a concise idea into Word or PowerPoint. Refer to it in Teams or find it through Microsoft Search. No new app to add to your stack. No convoluted workflow.

What changes for L&D

Learning in the flow of work, for real.
Short, verified insights appear inside the tools people already use. Employees stay focused. Managers get timely guidance. Adoption grows because nothing “new” is required.

Trust you can show.
Every answer traces back to a getAbstract summary and its original source. Licensed content and clear attribution support your governance standards.

Measurement that matters.
Usage happens inside Microsoft 365, which means you can instrument it. Track where learning shows up and how it helps work move forward.

How it works in Microsoft 365

  • Copilot answers with citations. Ask a question. See the source.
  • Create learning agents. Build simple Copilot agents that understand your context and cite verified material.
  • Bring ideas into documents and conversations. Insert a relevant concept into a Word draft, a PowerPoint slide, or a Teams thread without opening a separate tool.
  • Find it with Microsoft Search. Surface concise, vetted explanations when people look for help.

Why Verified Knowledge matters

AI produces text quickly. What you need is grounded guidance. For 27 years, getAbstract has built a library of expert-edited, licensed content with consistent citation standards. That foundation now sits inside Microsoft 365, so your AI use has clear provenance, and your employees see where ideas come from.

Putting Verified Knowledge to work

Here are just a few ways you might incorporate getAbstract’s Verified Knowledge into your Microsoft workflow:

  • Manager one-on-ones: Ask Copilot for a 30-minute agenda on prioritization. Insert one evidence-based tip with a source link.
  • Project kickoffs: Generate a short risk list for a new initiative and paste cited mitigations into the brief.
  • Change communications: Draft a 150-word update in Outlook and add one cited principle to explain the decision.
  • Slide tightening: In PowerPoint, reduce a busy slide to three points and attach a source for each.

Governance, simplified

  • Use licensed, attributed content as the default.
  • Publish a short citation guideline for employees.
  • Review a sample of answers monthly to confirm quality and coverage.
  • Keep a feedback loop with L&D, IT, and security to tune access and topics.
