Loci can analyze file metadata, document titles, usage patterns, and content signals from OneDrive to recommend the most relevant files to employees based on role, project, or recent activity. For example, a sales manager opening a client folder could be shown the latest proposal, pricing sheet, and meeting notes stored across their OneDrive files.

Business value: Reduces time spent searching for documents, improves employee productivity, and increases reuse of approved content.

2. Smart content surfacing in employee portals and intranets

Business value: Improves content discoverability, supports self-service access, and reduces dependency on support teams for routine document requests.

3. Role-based recommendations for teams working in Microsoft 365

Data flow: OneDrive to Loci

Data flow: OneDrive to Loci

HR and enablement teams can store onboarding guides, policy documents, and training decks in OneDrive, while Loci recommends the next best document based on the new hire?s department, location, or onboarding stage. A new employee in operations, for example, can be guided to the correct SOPs and process documents in sequence.
