    021 | Why Not All Copilot Experiences Are Created Equal

    In this episode of Code Deploy GoLive, hosts Julie Turner and Andrew Connell explore why Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences vary significantly depending on where you access them—whether in Outlook, Word, Teams, or the standalone Copilot app. Through real-world examples and technical insights, they explain how different orchestrators power various Copilot experiences, from the App Chat orchestrator to the SharePoint and Copilot Studio orchestrators, each with unique capabilities and limitations. Learn why the same query can produce different results across applications, how Copilot accesses data through semantic indexing rather than directly from Microsoft Graph, and what this means for user experience and enterprise AI adoption. Andrew also shares key takeaways from the European SharePoint Conference (ESPC), including insights on SharePoint Framework 1.22, the future of developers in the AI era, and Microsoft's approach to declarative agents. Essential listening for developers, IT professionals, and anyone implementing or working with Microsoft 365 Copilot in their organization. 🔗 LINKS=================================================🔗 Julie's LinkedIn Post about Copilot Julie's Pick:🔗 DIRT | Aventure Local Andrew's Pick:🔗 The Lazarus Project 🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky 🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Newsletter SPONSORS Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 Bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (12:20) - Agent 365 Follow Up (16:31) - Microsoft 365 Copilot Experiences & Orchestrators (52:40) - AC's & Julie's Picks

    018 | Getting Started with Azure Functions

    Dive into the fundamentals of Azure Functions with Julie and Andrew as they explain this powerful serverless computing service for Microsoft 365 developers. Learn about event-driven architecture, automatic scaling, various trigger types (HTTP, timer, queue, Event Grid, and more), and common use cases like document library monitoring, automated provisioning, and building Copilot connectors. We also cover hosting and pricing models—from pay-as-you-go Consumption Plans to always-on Premium Plans—introduce Durable Functions for stateful workflows, and compare Azure Functions to alternatives like Power Automate and Logic Apps. Whether you're new to Azure Functions or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode provides practical insights for leveraging this essential development tool. 🔗 LINKS=================================================From the episode intro & banter:🔗 Azure Functions🔗 Azure Durable Functions Julie's Picks:🔗 Hormone & Fertility Experts: We've Been Lied To About Women's Health!

    017 | Microsoft Teams AI SDK Naming Nightmare Solved

    In this episode, Andrew Connell and Julie Turner tackle the confusion surrounding Microsoft's Teams AI SDK naming conventions and help developers understand which tools to use for building Copilot extensions and AI agents. We break down the differences between the Teams AI Library, M365 Agents SDK, Azure AI Foundry, and Teams Toolkit, explaining when to use each framework and how they all fit together in Microsoft's AI development ecosystem. We discuss the evolution of these SDKs, the recent renaming challenges that have caused developer frustration throughout the summer and provide clarity on the current state of Microsoft's AI development landscape as of October 2025. Whether you're building declarative agents, API plugins, or custom engine agents, or Teams extensions this episode will help you navigate the SDK maze and choose the right tools for your project. Plus, we wrap up with our weekly picks, including an exciting space simulator game and an irresistible pecan bar recipe that's better than pecan pie! 🔗 LINKS================================================= 🔗 TeamsFX (@microsoft/teamsfx)🔗 Microsoft 365 Agents SDK🔗 Teams AI v2🔗 Teams AI v2: Naming Discussion Issue🔗 Microsoft Teams development SDK Guidance - Fall 2025 🎁 PICKS=================================================Andrew's Pick:🔗 Reemtry - Space Simulator Julie's Pick:🔗 Ultranutty Pecan Bars (link good for 30 days) 🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky 🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Newsletter SPONSORS Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 Bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (10:37) - Feature Discussion (50:23) - AC's & Julie's Picks

    015 | Navigating Microsoft Graph's SDK Future… and Struggles

    In episode 15, Andrew & Julie examined the maintenance status of various Microsoft Graph SDKs. While some SDKs like .NET, Java, PHP, PowerShell, and Go receive regular monthly updates, the JavaScript SDK has not been updated in approximately two years (since September 2023). This creates significant issues for developers as the Graph endpoints have certainly changed during this time, but the typings and SDK haven't been updated to reflect these changes. The Microsoft Graph CLI was also noted as being publicly archived and officially retired as of late August 2025. 🔗 LINKS=================================================From the episode intro & banter:🔗 Runna🔗 Welltory Links from the show:🔗 Julie on LinkedIn - Are Microsoft Graph typings no longer maintained🔗 Microsoft Graph🔗 Microsoft Graph CLI Retirement🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK (repo)🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK (NPMJS)🔗 Microsoft Graph TypeScript SDK Replacement🔗 Generate Microsoft Graph client libraries with Kiota 🎁 PICKS=================================================Andrew's Pick:🔗 Racintosh PlusJulie's Picks:🔗 DOAC: Brain Experts WARNING: Watch This Before Using ChatGPT Again! 🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky 🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, Newsletter SPONSORS Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 Bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (08:47) - Episode (51:44) - AC's & Julie's Picks
