Tried out the new M365 Copilot Retrieval APIs!
Built a custom agent with the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK + Semantic Kernel, using a plugin to fetch SharePoint data via the Retrieval APIs.
Pretty cool to see what’s possible with these tools! 👀

I’m on vacation in Croatia and I found a super useful Generative AI scenario for me. My daughter is allergic to milk and I can’t read Croatian, so I just take a photo of the label and ask if there’s milk inside. Yes, I might use a photo translator app, but the labels can be quite packed here 😂 #AI

Giving a quick look into my upcoming #BeConnected session on MCP — an event management platform connected to various agents.
On another note, .NET Aspire is awesome, I can spin up the whole MCP architecture with a single command!

Just hooked up a custom engine agent for Teams to my demo MCP server using the Teams AI Library v2. The new version makes it extremely easy! Just add an McpClientPlugin, set the URL and the agent finds & uses tools automatically 🤯

Is that a Logitech MX keys? I had the same problem last month with the “I” letter. I decided to go and try with the mini model, but I’m not 100% on board yet.

I just discovered that if you have an iOS device and you have the ChatGPT app installed, you get a live activity on the lock screen to track progress whenever you start a "Deep research" task. This regardless of where you started the research (in my case, it was on the web from my PC). Pretty cool!

🧪 Experiment of the day: connecting Copilot Chat to a custom agent using a declarative plugin as a proxy.
🔗 Works with any agent, no matter the tech stack.
💡 Minimal effort, max flexibility.
I'm still working on it, but you can find a draft sample on GitHub: github.com/qmatteoq/Cus...

The latest version of the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code has added a new agent playground, which supports choosing any LLM from the catalog, customizing the instructions and adding tools from an MCP server. Here is the AI toolkit consuming the MCP sample I built for my blog posts #mcp

It was a long day, but finally I have my Travel Agent sample based on the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK updated to the latest bits. There have been a few changes, but I like the new route selectors supported by the AgentApplication class!
