Microsoft ties Copilot to SharePoint

Microsoft makes SharePoint Copilot’s backbone

SharePoint now feeds Copilot more than anything else.

Microsoft says SharePoint serves over 1 billion users a year, with 2 billion files uploaded and 2 million sites created every day, and it is now the number one grounding source for Microsoft 365 Copilot. That means when Copilot answers a question in Teams or Chat, it is often pulling from SharePoint documents, sites, and metadata.

This is less about a 25 year anniversary and more about control of context. If Copilot runs on your company’s files, then the system that stores and organizes those files becomes the real power center.

Microsoft is also pushing “custom AI skills” and agentic workspaces so teams can build tools like contract review or IT help desks directly on top of SharePoint content. That keeps data, governance, and AI inside one stack.

Picture the open office at 9 a.m., people asking Copilot for updates instead of digging through folders. If SharePoint becomes the default memory layer for enterprise AI, switching clouds gets a lot harder.

Claude’s big weekend ends in outage

Claude climbed to the top of the App Store, then went dark.

Anthropic confirmed a widespread outage Monday morning affecting Claude.ai and Claude Code, with most users blocked at login. The API kept working, but thousands reported errors as the company said it had identified the issue and was rolling out a fix.

This comes days after Claude overtook ChatGPT in the App Store rankings, fueled in part by public fallout over Anthropic’s dispute with the Pentagon. That kind of spike tests infrastructure fast, especially when attention is political and emotional, not gradual.

It also lands at a sensitive moment, with Trump telling federal agencies to stop using Anthropic products and the Defense Secretary threatening to label it a supply chain threat. When usage surges and the product stumbles, confidence gets shaky.

Monday morning, screens just kept refreshing. If Claude is becoming the protest alternative, it now has to prove it can handle the traffic.

Google needs carriers to clean up RCS

Spam nearly stalled RCS in India.

After years of complaints, Google is integrating Airtel’s network-level spam filters directly into RCS, combining carrier intelligence with Google Messages to screen business traffic in real time. Airtel has 463 million subscribers, and it says its systems have already blocked 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam messages on its network.

This is Google admitting it cannot police messaging alone in a market this large and chaotic. India has over 700 million smartphone users, and RCS was starting to feel messy next to WhatsApp’s tighter controls.

It matters because RCS has been pitched as the SMS replacement, handling more than a billion messages daily in the U.S., yet spam in India exposed how thin Google’s enforcement looked without carrier pipes. If this model works, expect Google to replicate it elsewhere, even if that means giving telecom operators more leverage.

The screen lights up. If carriers become the gatekeepers of rich messaging, who really owns the channel?
