Scenario 1: I want to create a new plugin from an existing API or OpenAI plugin If not, create a message extension using the Teams Toolkit. If you already have a Teams message extension, then you already have a plugin that works with Copilot. When you have access to the developer preview program, you'll receive instructions on evaluating your message extension to be used by Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Plugins for Microsoft 365 Copilot are in early access preview.
Perform actions on behalf of the user, for example, create a Jira ticket. Retrieve knowledge-based information, for example, my team’s design files in Figma. Retrieve real-time information, for example, latest news coverage on a product launch. What is a plugin?Ī plugin allows Copilot to interact directly with third-party data, apps, and services, enhancing its capabilities and broadening its range of capabilities. You can extend Microsoft 365 Copilot by building a plugin or by connecting to an external data source. You can address this gap by extending Copilot to enable users to work with their third-party tools and services, unlocking the full potential of Microsoft 365 Copilot. While Copilot is already able to use the apps and data within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, many users still depend on various external tools and services for work management and collaboration. Microsoft 365 Copilot is powered by an advanced processing and orchestration engine that seamlessly integrates Microsoft 365 apps, Microsoft Graph, and large language models (LLMs) to turn your words into the most powerful productivity tool.
