Introduction After encountering issues with creating a To-Do task action in my previous attempt Building a Copilot Agent with Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and Microsoft Graph Plugin to list my ToDo Tasks, I explored various methods to generate an OpenAPI specification for M365 Copilot Declarative Agents using the Ms Graph OpenAPI spec. This post outlines the different approaches I tried, the challenges I faced, and the lessons learned. Methods for Generating OpenAPI Specs 1.

Introduction In this post, I’ll walk you through how to call Azure OpenAI APIs from a Copilot declarative agent—without writing any code—by using Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit. Leveraging OpenAPI specifications, Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit enables seamless integration with Azure OpenAI, streamlining the development process for Copilot extensibility. Step 1: Create and Import an OpenAPI Specification Microsoft provides a pre-built OpenAPI specification for Azure OpenAI, but it’s often broader than needed. To simplify, I generated a targeted OpenAPI spec with Copilot by using the endpoint URL and a sample request body as a prompt.

Generative AI using Azure OpenAI Service session at MS Build AI Day by Henk Boelman I attended the session Generative AI using Azure OpenAI Service session at MS Build AI Day by Henk Boelman on the 19th Oct 2023. He demoed how to leverage Azure Open AI Service to “add your own data” combined with ChatGPT to retrieve information from your company owned data covering elements of generative AI and reinforcing some of the points highlighted in the Keynote such as prompt engineering, grounding, jail breaking, etc.
