What it is

An employee directory for Microsoft Teams you search by skill — not by name.

TeamConnect AI is the employee, department, and office directory for Microsoft 365: every person, skill, work and project experience, certification, language, department, and office in one searchable picture inside Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Combine conditions in a single search — a skill, an office, and a language at once — then see who is reachable right now, and start the chat, call, or meeting without leaving the window.

Search

Search the employee directory by skill, experience, and language.

Combine a skill, a certification, and a language in one query, and ask the agent in plain words to find work and project experience. Filter across more than thirty fields, save the result as a view, and reuse it in one click. Every result opens the full profile and the next step in Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Outlook.

TeamConnect AI · Search in Microsoft Teams

Skills & certifications

Validated skills and certifications, synced with Microsoft 365.

Profiles carry validated skills, certifications, work and project experience, and languages against a 23,000-skill and 1,000-certification taxonomy Cubeet maintains, plus the custom skills you create or import. Skills already in Microsoft 365 People Skills are matched to that taxonomy, and every approved skill writes back — so TeamConnect AI and Microsoft 365 hold the same validated skills, and Microsoft 365 search and Microsoft 365 Copilot answer from them.

Availability

Employee availability and presence in Microsoft Teams.

Live Microsoft Teams presence, workplace and work location, local time, working hours, and today’s schedule on every profile — drawn from Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Shifts, and Microsoft Places. As a result, you know whether to call now, send mail, or wait until their morning.

Scheduling & circles

Meeting scheduling across time zones.

Build a circle from your favorites, your team, a department, a Microsoft Teams channel, or a chat group, then see availability and skills across it. Then take the best window — even when four time zones share no working hours at all — see exactly who it falls outside for, propose three times, start a group chat, book the room, and send the invite without leaving Microsoft Teams.

AI agent & org intelligence

An AI agent in Microsoft Teams, governed by role.

550+ governed capabilities, reachable from Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot chat. Agent Roles decide what the agent may answer for each person — 50+ ship with the product, and you can also define your own. An employee finds who is free this afternoon, while a CHRO asks about skills coverage across the organization. Every answer also shows why each person qualifies, citing the validated record behind each claim.

Org chart

Org charts with dotted lines and matrix reporting.

Direct and functional reports, dotted lines, and department color coding, across employee, department, and office hierarchies. Six chart engines, so matrix organizations render correctly rather than approximately. Every box also opens the person’s profile and a direct way to reach them.

Directory and expertise

Department and office directories. Skills matrix with validation requests. Searchable work and project experience. Saved views, quick filters, column management, and filtered export. 30 grid fields plus 240 custom fields per directory, with 15 Microsoft Entra ID extension attributes mappable across employees, departments, and offices.

Collaboration and organization

Ten presentation modes including grid, cards, people, map, and collaboration. 50+ localized variants and 3,000+ cities for automatic time, work location, and regional context.

Administration and integrations

50+ connector templates across HRIS, ITSM, and enterprise architecture, plus Microsoft Power Platform actions. SCIM provisioning. Dozens of administration views.

People and agents

Ask once: who or what can help me with this?

Agents are found by capability, but people by name. TeamConnect AI therefore closes that gap from both sides: people become searchable by what they can actually do, while agents appear beside them in the same employee directory in Microsoft Teams, read from Microsoft Entra Agent ID and never edited here.

Agent About · TeamConnect AI

Every agent in the employee directory, and the people accountable for it.

An agent card carries its advertised capabilities, its provider, and three distinct relationships: the agent-user manager, the identity sponsor, and the technical owner. Your own people also add a usefulness rating from one to five, and opening an agent still follows its host’s access rules.

Managed agents appear in the organization chart next to the people accountable for them, with agent associations kept separate from human reporting lines, so the chart shows who runs an agent without pretending it reports like an employee.

How it fits

Profile, org chart, and contact — without leaving Microsoft Teams.

Search finds the person, and then the profile shows the evidence. The org chart also shows where they sit. Finally, Instant Connect starts the chat, call, or meeting, and every step happens inside your Microsoft 365.

Data governance

Field-level data governance, per view, audience, and role.

Scoped answers are not a promise, but a setting. Because every field in every directory has a visibility and an edit rule — per view, per audience, and per role — the agent, the export, and the import all read the same rule.

Build the employee directory your organization needs.

Add up to 240 custom fields to each directory — employees, departments, and offices — plus 15 Microsoft Entra ID extension attributes. Your own fields follow the same visibility and edit rules as the built-in ones, so the directory fits your organization without waiting for a product change.

Can we switch off a field? Yes, per view: grid, small and large cards, profile, and export.

Can only certain people see it? Yes, by audience, such as HR, IT administrators, or Microsoft 365 security groups.

Can we change the order? Yes: the default column order, the card slots, and the profile sections. Employees can also arrange their own columns.

Can we add our own columns? Yes. Custom fields appear in the grid, on cards, in the profile, and in exports like any other field.

The first question IT asks

Subscribe, consent, sync. That is the install.

Five steps, because everything runs in tools your administrators already use. Deploy any countries, companies, offices, or departments — or your whole organization — and add more whenever you want.

Where it happens

  • Microsoft Marketplace
  • Microsoft 365 Admin Center
  • Microsoft Teams
  1. 01

    Choose your subscription

    TeamConnect or TeamConnect AI from Microsoft Marketplace or the Microsoft Teams Store. First 30 days free, cancel any time.

  2. 02

    Assign licenses

    Then assign the purchased user licenses in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

  3. 03

    Open the app

    Afterward, find it in the Store inside Microsoft Teams and open it.

  4. 04

    Approve and wait

    Approve the Microsoft consent prompts. One click then creates the Microsoft SharePoint site collections for you.

  5. 05

    Select, check and sync

    Choose the scope. The Microsoft Entra ID Health Check reads that scope and recommends the settings; accept or change them, then sync.

What you never do

  • No servers
  • No agents to deploy
  • No separate admin-center configuration

Then it is yours

Your directory is then ready to use. In TeamConnect AI, you can also configure roles and connect additional sources directly in the app’s settings. Return to the synchronization setup whenever you need to repeat a sync or include additional countries and locations.

Nothing left running on your side

Beyond subscription and license management, no further configuration is required in your Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, or Microsoft Azure admin centers. Cubeet maintains the application and its supporting services, so your team has no application infrastructure to deploy or maintain.

For evaluators

The four questions security asks first.

The answers your platform owner, CISO, and procurement team need before a pilot starts.

Stored in your own tenant

Your people and organization records live in SharePoint Online site collections created inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant during setup. There is also no intermediary Cubeet database holding your directory, and those site collections follow the same retention, backup, and access policies as the rest of your Microsoft SharePoint content.

Microsoft Graph exclusively

Microsoft 365 data access is exclusively through Microsoft Graph. Connected HR and enterprise systems use the integration routes, field mappings, and synchronization rules your administrators configure.

Not used for AI training

The AI agent sends your prompt and its answer through Cubeet’s Microsoft Azure backend to be answered. Neither is used to train foundation models. Training and retention are separate questions, so for your security review, we document which services are used and what each keeps.

Billed through Microsoft

Bought through Microsoft Marketplace or the Microsoft Teams Store. Licensing and billing run in your Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Microsoft Azure subscription, so procurement uses a route it already approved.

Buyer questions

Employee directory questions enterprise teams ask first.

The questions that come up in every evaluation of this product, answered directly.

About the employee directory for Microsoft Teams

Is TeamConnect AI an employee directory for Microsoft 365?

Yes — and more than an employee directory. Indeed, it is the employee, department, and office directory for Microsoft 365, running natively inside Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Those three are where it runs, while it integrates directly with the rest of your Microsoft 365. Communication: Microsoft Teams chat, group chat, call, video, Meet Now, and channels. Workplace: Microsoft Outlook calendar and email, Microsoft Places, and Microsoft Shifts. Identity and administration: Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Entra Agent ID, Microsoft 365 security groups, and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Profile and content: Microsoft People, the Microsoft 365 user profile, and Microsoft SharePoint Online.

How does TeamConnect AI compare to Microsoft People and Org Explorer?

Microsoft People and Org Explorer show what Microsoft Entra ID holds. TeamConnect AI then adds what an enterprise directory needs on top: skills and certifications with validation, work and project experience, direct and dotted-line org charts across employee, department, and office hierarchies, the Collaboration surface, an AI agent governed by role, and HRIS integration through 50+ connector and import/export templates.

It also works the other way. The bidirectional Microsoft Entra ID sync writes the updated data back, so Microsoft People, Org Explorer, and Microsoft 365 Copilot all read the same current information. So you are not choosing between them — you are keeping them from going stale.

Role-based control and organization size

What is role-based information control, and why does it matter?

The same agent and the same data serve everyone. However, what differs is what the agent may answer for each person, within their role and scope. For example, an employee asks which colleagues with a given skill are free this afternoon and gets a short list. Meanwhile, a CHRO asks about skills coverage by job role and gets the analytics. 50+ Agent Roles decide what may be returned, compared, and disclosed.

Is TeamConnect AI only for very large organizations?

No. It is engineered for the largest Microsoft 365 tenants and built for 500,000-user scale — and the governance model, the matrix org charts, and the data quality controls all come from what organizations that size demand.

However, a 2,000-person company across six countries has the same problems as a 200,000-person one: time zones and languages, dotted-line reporting, availability nobody can see, skills, work and project experience nobody can search, and people data nobody owns. The difference is therefore volume, not structure. Same product, same capabilities, two global admin consents either way.

Licensing and budget

Does TeamConnect AI need new budget?

Often not. Buy through Microsoft Marketplace or the Microsoft Teams Store under the Microsoft Standard Contract. No Cubeet amendments and no separate contract to negotiate. Choose your plan and user count, then complete your purchase through Microsoft. Eligible Marketplace purchases can count toward your Microsoft Azure consumption commitment, subject to your agreement and purchase route. Billing arrives on your existing Microsoft invoice.

Can we mix TeamConnect and TeamConnect AI?

Yes. The two are compatible, so each person can be licensed on the edition their work needs, for example TeamConnect for most employees and TeamConnect AI for management, sales, and roles that work across departments. Because TeamConnect AI includes the TeamConnect foundation, nobody needs both.

Your HR data in the employee directory

Where does TeamConnect AI get its data?

Initially, it comes from Microsoft Entra ID, where every employee already exists, after the free Microsoft Entra ID Health Check shows how current that data is. Job titles, departments, and managers are HR data held in a system IT owns, so nothing breaks when they go stale.

That is why the Employee Import Hub and the Integration Hub then bring in the current values from your HR systems, manually or on a schedule. Finally, the bidirectional sync writes the fields IT chooses back to Microsoft Entra ID, so Microsoft 365 sees them too.

How long does it take to connect several HRIS systems?

The Employee Import Hub and the Integration Hub are designed so that a single HRIS source is onboarded and tested in less than a working day, each using a pre-built template from the connector-template library. A twenty-source estate is planned in working days rather than quarters.

How does TeamConnect AI integrate with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and other HR systems?

TeamConnect AI ships with 50+ connector templates covering HRIS, ITSM, and enterprise architecture platforms. The Integration Hub handles field direction, mapping, and handoff rules explicitly, and every import, export, and sync runs on its own schedule. That last part matters more than it sounds: nobody in HR has spare capacity to refresh a directory by hand, and anything that depends on someone remembering goes stale.

Data quality and where your data is stored

What is included in the free Microsoft Entra ID Health Check?

A downloadable PDF report on the people data held in your Microsoft Entra ID — the directory Microsoft People, Org Explorer, and Microsoft 365 Copilot all read from. Specifically, it scores seven categories — identity, job info, managers, departments, department managers, offices, and contacts — and names the specific issues found, with examples from your own tenant. It analyzes every user rather than a sample, and the report is yours to keep, share, and re-run.

How do I see which records are incomplete, without opening each one?

The TeamConnect Health Check, under HR Operations, scores every field across the whole population, for example how many records carry a job title, a cost center, a manager, or a photo. Below the scores, it lists who is missing what, with a completion percentage for each person, so the gap goes to whoever maintains it instead of staying in a dashboard.

It is a different check from the Microsoft Entra ID Health Check, because that one scores Microsoft Entra ID, while this one scores TeamConnect AI.

Where is our data stored, and what runs outside Microsoft 365?

Your people and organization records are stored in SharePoint Online within your own Microsoft 365 tenant. TeamConnect accesses those records directly through Microsoft Graph, with no intermediary Cubeet database. TeamConnect AI also adds processing hosted in Microsoft Azure for the AI agent and automated imports, exports, synchronization, and API integrations, under the permissions you grant.
