PolicyPilot

Empowering Education with Intelligent Automation

PolicyPilot by Marra is a standalone AI agent for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). 

Built entirely on Microsoft Copilot Studio, it centralises policy knowledge, improves operational consistency, and unlocks the value of Microsoft 365 data all while establishing the foundations for wider AI adoption across your Trust.
 
Because it is built natively on Copilot Studio, PolicyPilot benefits from:
  • Enterprise‑grade Microsoft security, privacy and compliance
  • Your existing Microsoft 365 permissions and governance model
  • No data leaving your Microsoft tenant
  • A low‑code-first platform your Trust can build on over time

What PolicyPilot delivers

  • Centralised policy and guidance access. A single, authoritative place for staff to access Trust‑approved policies, procedures, and internal knowledge, always up to date and always available.
  • Context-aware answers. Using generative AI in Copilot Studio, PolicyPilot interprets nuance rather than simply returning a document. It provides guided, explainable responses where policy requires interpretation. It's not just lookup.
  • Seamless Microsoft integration. PolicyPilot is built in Copilot Studio and connects directly to Microsoft 365, including Teams, SharePoint, and your existing Power Platform assets. Staff can interact with PolicyPilot directly within Teams, keeping guidance exactly where work happens.

Built to grow beyond PolicyPilot

PolicyPilot is not just a single-use tool, it is the starting point for a Trust-wide AI ecosystem built on Copilot Studio.

By adopting PolicyPilot, your organisation automatically gains:

  1. A proven Copilot Agent in production
  2. Governance patterns and security controls already in place
  3. Staff familiarity with AI‑Driven workflows
  4. A reusable foundation for additional Agents
