MS-4015: Build custom agents for Microsoft Teams

This advanced learning path teaches developers how to create intelligent, custom Copilot agents for Microsoft Teams using the Teams AI Library and Azure OpenAI. You'll explore different Copilot stacks, learn to integrate large language models, and deploy AI agents that connect to your data sources. The path guides you through app development using Visual Studio Code and Teams Toolkit, enabling you to leverage organizational data via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). By the end, you will be equipped to build and deploy custom engine agents in Teams that respond to user input with contextually relevant, AI-driven answers based on your enterprise data.
