GenAI wrote this talk: custom copilots for an AI-first world

[Abstract of your talk]

In a world rapidly shifting to an AI-first mindset, how can engineers bridge the gap between existing APIs and the GenAI tools used by employees everyday, such as Microsoft Copilot? In this talk Steph will demonstrate how to extend MS Teams Copilot with custom API Plugins, empowering users to chat with your data in the same way they'd chat with any other LLM. The catch? She'll be using her own custom Microsoft Copilot to help her deliver the talk!
