Why is my custom Copilot in Microsoft Copilot Studio returning generic responses?

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 17

I'm building a case study generation Copilot using Microsoft Copilot Studio. The Copilot is supposed to fetch detailed information from Dataverse and generate a case study for a customer.

 

However, I'm noticing that it's often returning generic or irrelevant answers, especially when trying to extract specific fields. For example:


  • Business challenges are stored in the description field of the Opportunity table, but the Copilot doesn't return this info.

  • Instead, it generates generic content based on the project topic, ignoring what's actually stored in Dataverse.

 

I’ve confirmed that the data is present and accessible via the Dataverse connection.

Why might this be happening?

  • Is this an issue with the way I've set up the prompts or grounding?

  • How do I ensure the Copilot strictly uses Dataverse content and avoids hallucinations?

Any help or guidance from someone who has built similar bots would be appreciated!

    Enabling "General Knowledge" means using the trained data, e.g., 2024.

    Yes, disabling this allows the agent to use only the knowledge source you provided.

    With an M365 Copilot license, you can enable Enhanced search results in the Generative AI setting to improve semantic search. It has a broader view and understands content patterns, so exact keywords aren't needed.
