Add Generative Answers

To add generative answers to Copilot Studio topics, insert generative answer nodes that run CreateSearchQuery before SearchAndSummarizeContent. This sequence searches configured knowledge sources and produces grounded AI responses.

The SearchAndSummarizeContent pattern generates grounded AI responses by searching agent knowledge sources. It requires generating a CreateSearchQuery first, referencing correct knowledgeSources, and configuring autoSend and responseCaptureType.

Yes, you can restrict generative answers to specific knowledge sources by specifying knowledgeSources references within the generative answer node. This ensures the AI responses are grounded only in the targeted content.

You control auto-send behavior for AI-generated responses by setting the autoSend property appropriately within the generative answer node. This allows you to process answers before sending them to users.

CreateSearchQuery must run before SearchAndSummarizeContent to ensure conversational context is preserved and the search is optimized. Running SearchAndSummarizeContent without it can result in missing context or incorrect routing.
