Microsoft Teams Copilot for Developers: A Comprehensive Guide

Microsoft has introduced a new tool called the Teams AI Library, aiming to simplify the process of creating intelligent, conversational apps on Teams. The Teams AI Library is a development toolkit that allows developers to build AI-powered apps for Microsoft Teams, using advanced AI components such as conversational AI, prompt management, and safety moderation. 
Key features of the Teams AI Library include simple Teams-centric component scaffolding, natural language modeling powered by GPT-based language models, personalized prompts, conversational session history, localization, flexibility to use any large language model (LLM), and responsible AI including moderation hooks, conversation sweeping, and feedback loops. 

Microsoft hopes the library will assist in building apps that improve productivity and foster better collaboration. Developers can start using the Teams AI Library by following a quick start guide, building their first app, referring to the technical documentation, and exploring code samples.
