This SDK assists developers in building AI-powered applications and extensions for Microsoft Teams and other Bot Framework channels. It leverages the Bot Framework SDK and integrates with Azure OpenAI and OpenAI, simplifying the creation of sophisticated conversational bots.

How It Works

The library provides a structured approach to building AI bots by integrating with LLMs for natural language understanding and generation. It offers components for prompt engineering, content moderation, intent mapping, and managing conversational session history. This modular design allows for LLM swapping and simplifies complex workflow creation.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: npm install teams-ai (JavaScript), dotnet add package Microsoft.Teams.AI (C#), pip install teams-ai (Python).
• Prerequisites: OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API key and endpoint.
• Demo: The teamsChefbot sample demonstrates OpenAI GPT integration.
• Getting Started: https://github.com/microsoft/teams-ai/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md

Highlighted Details

• Supports JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, and Python.
• Features include component scaffolding, prompt engineering, content moderation, and predictive intent mapping.
• Maintains conversational session history and supports LLM modularity.
• Designed for seamless integration with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365.
