Building AI Apps with
Microsoft Sharepoint Data: Vector Search
for Smarter Insights
Making Microsoft Sharepoint data AI-ready and accessible for smarter apps by seamlessly connecting Microsoft Sharepoint, Zilliz Cloud, and airbyte.
What is Microsoft Sharepoint and What's Its Data Like?
Microsoft SharePoint is a collaboration and document management platform that allows teams to create intranets, manage projects, and share content. It handles structured data, such as lists, workflows, and user permissions, alongside unstructured data, like documents, images, and videos. Developers use its API to customize workflows, integrate with third-party applications, and automate content management. Challenges include organizing and indexing large volumes of unstructured data for efficient retrieval. SharePoint is extensively used in enterprises for knowledge management and collaboration.
Challenges for Building AI Apps with Microsoft Sharepoint Data
Unstructured Data
Much of Microsoft Sharepoint’s data is unstructured and multimodal. Standard database queries struggle with such text-heavy information, making it difficult to unlock its full potential.
Data Silos
Microsoft Sharepoint data often exists in isolation, making it challenging to integrate with other enterprise systems or data sources.
Scalability
Massive amounts of user interactions are logged daily, and processing and querying this data in real time requires robust infrastructure, especially when building AI-driven applications.
Personalization
AI apps require deep insights into customer behavior to offer personalized experiences. However, standard searches and SQL queries don’t adequately surface the relationships and similarities hidden in Microsoft Sharepoint data.
Fueling Microsoft Sharepoint AI Apps with Vector Search for Smarter Insights
Making Unstructured Data Searchable
Vector search enables AI to explore unstructured Microsoft Sharepoint data like text and images by comparing the meaning and context of each data point. This allows your AI apps to uncover actionable insights that were previously buried in complex records.
Going Beyond Keywords with Semantic Search
With vector similarity search, your AI apps are no longer limited to basic keyword matching. Vector search solutions like Zilliz Cloud perform deep, context-aware searches, identifying patterns and similarities across Microsoft Sharepoint data that traditional methods can’t reach.
Uncovering Hidden Relationships
Vector search finds subtle trends and connections within unstructured data. By identifying these hidden patterns, your AI apps generate more accurate predictions, smarter recommendations, and better overall results.
Scalability for Real-Time AI
Designed for speed and scale, vector search engines like Zilliz Cloud can process massive Microsoft Sharepoint datasets in real-time. Whether it’s handling billions of records or delivering instantaneous insights, vector search ensures your AI applications can perform at peak efficiency.
