Microsoft Lists: Edit & Query by Voice

Key insights

• Microsoft Lists AI in SharePoint lets users build, edit, and query lists using natural language.
  No column settings, no Power Automate, and no code are required.
• Create a vendor register from an Excel spreadsheet in a single prompt to speed onboarding.
  The demo shows the entire list populated from the uploaded sheet.
• Converse to evolve the schema mid-session and add compliance columns as requirements change.
  This keeps governance and audit needs up to date without manual column setup.
• Use plain language to bulk edit items and to build formatted views for reviews.
  Changes apply across many records and views are styled conversationally.
• Run live queries to query data like: show all Professional Services vendors over $50K.
  Natural-language filters and summaries surface the answers directly in the list.
• Feature status and requirements: this capability is in public preview and requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license with Anthropic enabled as a sub-processor for the tenant.
  Expect tenant-level enablement during the rollout.
