# Connect SeekOut to Microsoft 365 Copilot

> Connect SeekOut to Microsoft 365 Copilot.

SeekOut is available as an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot. You interact with SeekOut by opening the agent — a regular Copilot chat does not use SeekOut on its own.

## Prerequisites

* An active SeekOut account
* Access to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the SeekOut agent">
    Use the [direct link](https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat/?titleId=P_6c6446e7-5f3b-d142-123b-f4723416dff6\&source=agentCenterDialog), or in Copilot go to **Agents → More agents**, find **SeekOut**, and select **Open**.
  </Step>

  <Step title={'Select the "Think deeper" response mode'}>
    Select **Think deeper** instead of **Auto**. **Auto** can give unreliable answers when using the SeekOut agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using the SeekOut agent">
    In the SeekOut agent, enter your request. If you start from another Copilot conversation, invoke the agent with `@SeekOut`:

    <Prompt description="@SeekOut find senior UX designers in New York." icon="quote">
      @SeekOut find senior UX designers in New York.
    </Prompt>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to SeekOut when prompted">
    When Copilot prompts you on first use, sign in with your SeekOut account to authorize the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If the direct link doesn't work, search for the **SeekOut** agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot and open it from the search results.
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

### The Add button for the SeekOut agent is grayed out

Your Microsoft 365 administrator may need to approve the SeekOut agent before users can add it. Ask your administrator to allow the agent in the Microsoft 365 admin center, then try adding it again.

### A new Copilot chat doesn't use SeekOut

A regular Copilot chat does not automatically invoke SeekOut. Open **Agents → More agents → SeekOut** and select **Open**, or invoke the agent with `@SeekOut`.

### Answers are unreliable or incorrect

Make sure the **Think deeper** response mode is selected instead of **Auto**. **Auto** can produce unreliable answers when using the SeekOut agent.

## Build a custom experience

To build a custom Copilot Studio agent with the published SeekOut connector, follow the [Microsoft Connector setup guide](/mcp/connect/microsoft-connector).
