Nasuni integrated its file storage platform with Microsoft 365 Copilot in September 2024, allowing employees to search through company files using plain conversational language — for example, asking 'find the Q3 proposal for the Chicago project' — rather than navigating folder structures or typing exact file names. The integration makes Nasuni-managed files searchable through Microsoft Search and usable by Microsoft 365 Copilot's AI assistant.
Details
The integration works through Microsoft Graph Connector, a Microsoft tool that indexes data sources so they become searchable through Microsoft Search and accessible to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Once Nasuni-managed files are indexed, they enter Microsoft's semantic index — an AI-built understanding of file content and meaning, not just file names. This allows Copilot to reason across file contents when answering employee questions or generating documents. A Microsoft Tech Community post confirmed deployment by BXP, a large US real estate firm, describing the integration as providing 'a standardized AI prompting experience.' Nasuni's Chief Innovation Officer publicly stated that the company has chosen to build on Microsoft's AI infrastructure rather than develop a competing search capability.

Other practices by Nasuni
OtherNasuni is developing a capability where large language models would analyze detailed records of how files are being read and written across its platform, then automatically suggest or apply changes to improve storage efficiency and reduce cost. Unlike many AI features that work with the content of files, this system focuses entirely on the technical behavior patterns of file storage — not what files contain. As of early 2026, this capability has been described by Nasuni executives but has not yet shipped as a generally available product.OtherNasuni is developing a capability where large language models would analyze detailed records of how files are being accessed and written across its platform, then suggest or apply changes to improve storage efficiency and reduce cost. As of early 2026, this remains under active development — described by Nasuni executives but not yet shipped as a generally available product.ProductivityNasuni offers open-source software tools that allow AI agents — software programs that can take actions autonomously, like a virtual assistant that can actually perform tasks rather than just answer questions — to securely access and work with files stored in Nasuni. Using an open standard called Model Context Protocol (MCP), these tools let AI agents search, read, and manage enterprise files. The initial open-source tools were announced in October 2025; a full commercial product called AI Activate entered invite-only preview in April 2026 with general availability planned for Q4 2026.
