At the Microsoft Build 2023 developers conference, the tech giant announced a framework for artificial intelligence (AI) applications and Copilot programs. This new framework, designed to be more user-centric and efficient, will adopt OpenAI’s plugin standard for ChatGPT, an AI-based system. This provides developers the opportunity to create plugins for Bing Chat, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Windows Copilot, and other similar services.
The goal of this integration is to give Bing Chat a boost with features such as ordering groceries, making reservations, and several other capabilities, delivered directly within the chat window. Microsoft will also launch preview versions of Copilot in Power BI, Copilot in Power Pages, Copilot in Microsoft Fabric, and Windows Copilot for developers.
Reinforcing the idea of creating a development-friendly ecosystem, Kevin Scott, Microsoft Technology Officer, stated the need for bridging the gap between AI systems and data. This is made possible with the plugins created with the help of the Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. The integration of services like OpenTable, Wolfram Alpha, Klarna, Zillow, Instacart, and Kayak into the Bing Chat ecosystem builds a comprehensive platform for users to access information.
Microsoft is dedicated towards creating an AI app platform that is available to all developers. This will make the development process easier and promote the evolution of AI applications through plugins. The company is hopeful that in due course of time, this will become the industry standard.
