Overview
Egnyte Copilot Chat on Android provides an AI-powered conversational interface grounded in a company’s data. It enables employees to ask questions in natural language and receive contextually relevant answers based on the content stored within their organization’s Egnyte environment.
Copilot uses Egnyte’s enterprise-grade security and access controls, ensuring that responses remain aligned with permissions, file access, and organizational data safeguards. It is designed to help teams quickly locate information, summarize documents, and understand content while working on the go, leveraging the familiar and robust Android platform for secure mobile access.
This feature is available for customers having Platform Plans with Copilot Add-on and included in the New Generation Platform plans. Contact the account manager or Egnyte Sales team for more information.
Accessing Copilot on the Android Mobile App
An Ask Me Anything button has been added to most screens, providing a quick and convenient way to open Copilot Chat as needed.
Using Copilot Chat
When the Copilot interface is open, two conversational modes are available:
Copilot (All Company Data)
This mode uses all accessible company content as the foundation for generating responses. It aligns with the user’s permission set, ensuring that results reflect only the data that the user is allowed to see.
On mobile, this is always the default behavior. Folder-level or file-level source selection is not supported in the current version.
Knowledge Bases
Knowledge Bases (KB) provide responses based solely on the content stored within a specific KB folder.
Switching to a Knowledge Base allows the conversation to be grounded in a curated set of documents chosen by the organization.
Features Supported on the Android Mobile App
The initial mobile release includes core conversational functionality:
-
Voice Input: A microphone icon is available within supported chats. When activated, speech is transcribed in real time, with a waveform visual indicating active recording. If a pause longer than three seconds occurs, recording automatically stops, and transcription remains available for review and optional editing. Recording may be manually resumed as needed (by tapping on the microphone icon), and the prompt can then be submitted through the standard submission control.
-
AI-generated suggestions at the start of each chat
-
Feedback controls (thumbs up / thumbs down) for rating responses
-
Copy response to easily share or re-use Copilot output
-
Clear chat to reset the conversation and begin a new thread
