Copilot and AI for Government

Government runs on documents: briefing notes, policies, forms, correspondence and records. Microsoft 365 Copilot and custom AI agents put that information to work, in English and French.

The Challenge

The challenge isn't whether Copilot can help government teams. It's knowing which use cases to start with, how to deploy it securely on government information, and how to bring employees along.

Why redesign beats automation

Don't automate the process. Rethink the work.

The biggest opportunity isn't putting Copilot into today's workflow. It's asking why the workflow looks like that in the first place.

FAQ

Yes. The Form Recommendation agent we're building for a Canadian federal department is bilingual, serving employees in English and French.
Copilot works within your existing Microsoft 365 permissions, so it only surfaces what each user can already access. That's why we start with governance: oversharing risks remediated and Purview controls in place before Copilot goes live.
With one high-volume process where people lose time, like finding the right form or drafting routine correspondence. An AI Jumpstart takes one use case from idea to production, so you prove value before you scale.
Usually, yes. AI delivers the most value when you redesign the process around it instead of bolting it onto the existing one. Process redesign is part of how we build agents.
Adoption is planned from the start, not after launch. Our AI Adoption & Transformation and AI Training & Enablement services cover the change management and the skills.
