SharePoint alternative for teams on Slack
Find it in SharePoint without opening SharePoint
Ask in a Slack thread. Kipwise Agent searches the SharePoint sites you can open, reads the file and answers with the link. For the how-tos and decisions, it writes Kipwise pages from the thread.
Free to try in Slack. No card needed.
Where the answer lives today
“The problem is that the friction of using them is so high that nobody really does”
In one Slack thread

Why teams look past SharePoint
“Our company transitioned to sharepoint years ago but the struggle to find information is SO REAL.”
With KipwiseAsk in Slack. The agent searches the SharePoint sites you can open and answers with the file and its folder.
“200 disconnected sites later the whole company is bookmarking things to survive.”
With KipwiseSkip the bookmarks. One question in Slack searches across every site you have access to.
“The problem is that the friction of using them is so high that nobody really does”
With KipwiseHow-tos and decisions go into Kipwise pages the agent writes from your Slack threads, so writing it down takes one line.
“The permission system can be a nightmare to get right.”
With KipwiseIt reads only what each person can already open.
Keep SharePoint, or leave it
Most teams keep the files where they are and move the know-how.
Keep SharePoint
Ask it from Slack
Connect your work Microsoft account and the agent searches SharePoint and your Teams channel files, lists folders and reads files, with your own access. Some organisations need an admin to approve it first.
Move the wiki part
Let the agent write your pages
Keep files in SharePoint and move the how-tos, policies and decisions to Kipwise pages the agent writes from your threads.
SharePoint vs Kipwise
SharePoint stores files and runs intranet sites. Kipwise answers and writes in your Slack threads.
| SharePoint | Kipwise | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Files, sites and intranets on Microsoft 365 | Answers and write-ups in your Slack threads |
| Finding a file | Search sites and libraries | Ask in Slack; it searches the sites you can open and links the file |
| Team know-how | Pages and lists you build and maintain | Pages the agent drafts from threads, with your name on them |
| Who sees what | Site and library permissions | Your own Microsoft access, nothing more |
| Beyond docs | Copilot and Power Automate, inside Microsoft 365 | Updates the deal, files the issue or drafts the email from Slack, after you approve |

One agent, four parts
Your knowledge base, support desk, request desk and tasks, run by one agent
Install the agent and you get all four. It answers from your pages, speaks to your customers, takes requests from your team and works your task boards, in the threads where your team already is.
Knowledge base
Ask in a thread and get the answer from your team’s pages, with the page it came from. Ask it to write the resolution down, approve the change, and the next question is answered faster. It only reads pages the asker can see.
About the knowledge base@Kipwise do we have a doc on refunds for annual plans?
Yes. Refund policy gives annual plans a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
We gave Acme 60 days because their migration slipped. @Kipwise can you write this up?
Add “Acme: 60-day window” to Refund policy in Customer Success?

Customer support
A chat widget on your site answers from your public help center and hands the conversation to a person when asked. It lands in Slack with a draft reply, and nothing a customer can see goes out until you approve it.

Internal requests
Employees ask for IT, HR or ops help in Slack, confirm in plain words, and get a request they can follow. The channel only sees a neutral line, and nobody needs a seat to ask.

Tasks
Boards the agent works. A card can run on a schedule or when something happens, stops at an approval step before it writes, and counts against a monthly budget.

Questions
What can it do in SharePoint?
It searches the SharePoint sites you can open, lists sites and folders, and reads files, then answers with the file’s link. Teams channel files live in the team’s SharePoint site, so it reads those too. For the how-tos and decisions, it writes Kipwise pages from the thread.
Do we need admin approval?
Sometimes. SharePoint needs a work or school Microsoft account, and some organisations only let an admin approve a new app. If you see “Need admin approval”, ask your admin.
What does it cost?
$10 per user a month, for at least 3 users. That includes $5 of AI credit per person and $2 per person of shared team credit every month. Add it to Slack and the free trial starts on your first message, no card needed.
Can it change things without asking?
No. Before it edits a page, updates a record or posts a message, it shows an Approve or Deny card in the thread. Only the person who asked can approve it, and the card expires after 30 minutes.
Does it work in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. The same agent runs in Microsoft Teams, with the same tools, approvals, memory and scheduled tasks.
