What are Connectors?

Connect existing business sources without changing how employees already work.

Connected knowledge

Microsoft 365

Connected source

Google Drive

Connected source

SharePoint

Connected source

AI Employee OS

One governed knowledge experience

Connected content remains organized through workspaces, collections and permissions.

Definition

Connectors link AI Employee OS with supported business sources and services, allowing approved information or capabilities to be used within the platform.

Why it matters

Organizations already store valuable information across different systems. Connectors reduce unnecessary duplication and help AI Employees work with the sources that matter to the business.

Real-world example

Connecting a document platform

A company connects its existing document platform and makes selected libraries available to a Knowledge Collection. Employees continue using their familiar system while the AI Employee gains approved access to relevant content.

Key benefits

Build on existing company systems

Reduce manual movement of information

Keep source ownership with the responsible team

Expand the platform over time

Common questions

Does every Connector expose all information?

No. Organizations choose which supported sources and permissions are made available.

Are Connectors the same as Agents?

No. A Connector provides a link to a source or service. An Agent provides a specialized capability and may use a Connector when needed.
