Type `@` followed by the source name (e.g., `@Microsoft 365 Apps`, `@Web`, `@Salesforce`) to pull data from that system into your conversation. ### @Microsoft 365 Apps Unified @ mention for accessing all Microsoft 365 services including Calendar, Mail, Files, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams messages, and meetings. Replaces individual mentions like @Calendar, @Mail, @Files, etc. ### @Web Real-time web search capability allowing AVA to find current information, news, and data beyond its training or your organizational data. Perfect for research, market intelligence, and up-to-date information. ### AI Super Assistant AVA's positioning as more than a chatbot—an AI assistant that takes action across your Microsoft 365 environment through Microsoft Graph API integration. ### AI That Works™ AVA's core philosophy and tagline, emphasizing that AVA takes real action (scheduling meetings, creating tasks, sharing files) rather than just answering questions. ### AVA Chat Conversational AI interface with @ mention access to connected data sources. Main feature for interacting with AVA and your business systems. ### AVA Tasks Multi-step workflow automation feature allowing sequential execution of complex processes with intelligent orchestration. ### Azure AI Foundry Microsoft's AI deployment platform, primary provider for AVA's AI models (GPT-5, DALL-E 3, etc.). ### Azure Container Apps Serverless container service hosting AVA's backend Python services and MCP servers. Provides auto-scaling and high availability. ## C ### Conversation Sharing Capability to share ongoing AVA conversations with teammates, including full context and history. Supports view-only and collaborative access levels. ### Copy to Notes One-click feature to copy any AVA response to Workspace Notes for document building and organization. ### Corpus (plural: Corpora) Collection of documents indexed for Knowledge Search. Created from SharePoint sites or document libraries for semantic search. ### Core Capabilities Features available across all of AVA (Chat, Tasks, Knowledge Search): images, Microsoft actions, copy to notes, conversation sharing, exports, and PowerPoint generation. ### Custom Instructions Personalized preferences and behavior settings that AVA remembers across all conversations and tasks. ## D ### DALL-E 3 OpenAI's image generation model available in AVA for creating visuals from text descriptions. Offers natural and vivid style options. ### Delegated Permissions Security model where AVA operates with the authenticated user's permissions only—no elevated access or service accounts. ## E ### Embeddings Vector representations of text used for semantic search in Knowledge Search. Generated by AI models and stored in pgVector. ### Entra ID Microsoft's identity and access management platform (formerly Azure AD). Provides authentication and authorization for AVA. ### Export Capabilities Feature set allowing generation of Office documents (PowerPoint, Word, Excel) from AVA conversations, tasks, and notes. ## G ### GPT-5 Series Latest OpenAI models available in Azure including GPT-5, GPT-5 Pro, GPT-5 Codex, GPT-5 Chat, and GPT-5 Mini/Nano variants. ### GPT-image-1 Latest image generation model from OpenAI with improved quality and detail compared to DALL-E 3. ## K ### Knowledge Search RAG-powered semantic search feature for querying SharePoint documents across multiple corpora simultaneously. ## M ### MCP (Model Context Protocol) Standardized integration layer connecting AVA to enterprise applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Jira, and GitHub. ### MCP Servers Individual container apps running integration logic for each connected data source. Deployed separately for independent scaling. ### Microsoft Graph API Unified API for Microsoft 365 services. Enables AVA to take actions like scheduling meetings, creating tasks, sharing files, and sending emails. ### Microsoft To Do Task management application integrated with AVA. Tasks created by AVA appear in Microsoft To Do with due dates and assignments. ## P ### pgVector PostgreSQL extension for efficient vector storage and similarity search. Used for Knowledge Search embeddings. ### PowerPoint Generation Capability to create presentations from AVA conversations or notes. Version 3 coming with enhanced automation and intelligent layouts. ### Prompt Library Repository of saved, reusable prompts that can be shared with individuals, teams, or the entire organization. ## R ### RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) AI technique combining semantic search with language generation. Used in Knowledge Search to provide accurate answers with source citations. ## S ### SuperPrompt Enhanced AI guidance toggle in AVA Tasks that provides more detailed instructions and context for complex workflows. ## W ### Workspace Right-side panel in AVA with three tabs: Search (find files/meetings), Notes (rich text editor), and File Viewer (view/edit Office documents). ## Related Resources Detailed explanation of cross-app features Core concepts and architecture Technical architecture details Comprehensive feature overview *** *Last Updated: January 2025*
