Stop uploading and start pointing. A chat caps uploads because it recalculates everything on every message, while a Copilot notebook processes documents once, so it holds far more. In testing, a notebook took 52 PDFs without complaint. You can also build an agent that reads a OneDrive folder.
- Agents take only about ten uploaded documents, so point them at a folder instead.
- If you still hit a cap, merge some PDFs into one.
- Put the prompt in the notebook instructions and swap the references each period.

Can a Copilot Page work only from a set of Documents?
No, Pages are for working on a document with Copilot, not for holding sources. To ground Copilot in a fixed set of documents, build an agent, which you can even create from a page, or use a notebook, which is the hub for all the sources of one piece of work.
Can AI connect two Apps automatically?
Yes, but you often do not need generative AI for it. For personal apps, no-code tools like Zapier, Make or N8N connect two apps without code, and at work you use what your organisation approves, usually Power Automate. Check first for a native integration, because many apps already sync with each other.
Can I automate payment reminders with AI?
Yes, but do it without generative AI. Use an automation tool such as Power Automate connected to your email with if-then logic, so there is no risk of hallucinations. Map the whole process on paper first, then automate only the parts that are truly repetitive.
