Hi Syedbar Ali,

Please find the below steps

Step 1: Set Up Your OpenAI GPT-3 Model

Sign up for an account with OpenAI and get access to their API.

Create your own GPT-3 model using the OpenAI API.

Keep your API keys or tokens handy for authentication.

Step 2: Create a Backend Service

Use a programming language like Python to create a special behind-the-scenes program called a "backend service."

This program will handle messages from Microsoft Teams and interact with the OpenAI API.

Step 3: Connect with Microsoft Teams

Build a custom app in Microsoft Teams that links to your backend service.

You might use something like an "incoming webhook" or the Teams Bot Framework.

Configure the app to send messages from Teams to your backend service for processing.

Step 4: Handle Messages and Generate Replies

When messages come in from Microsoft Teams, your backend service will be ready to catch them.

It will figure out what the message says, clean it up if needed, and then send the message content to your OpenAI GPT-3 model using the API.

Once the model generates a response, your backend service receives it.

Step 5: Send Responses Back to Teams

Once your backend service gets a response from the GPT-3 model, it's time to send that response back to the Microsoft Teams app.

The message might need some formatting to look good in Teams.

Step 6: Manage Conversations

Remember, chats are often back-and-forth conversations. Your bot should be able to keep track of the ongoing talk.

Your backend service maintains the conversation history and context.

Step 7: Testing and Launching

Test everything thoroughly to make sure the chatbot plays well with Teams, your backend, and GPT-3.

When you're confident, deploy your app and integration so others can use it.

Hope these steps helps.

Regards,

Hello @Syedbabar Ali ,

Currently there is not a one turn solution of integrating your Azure OpenAI Chatbot within Microsoft Teams. There are three options of implementing your scenario as shared in this blog post by Alexis Kinzelin

Here are the 3 options you can explore:

Option #1: We recommend reading this documentation to set up Azure OpenAI in power Automate – Use your Azure OpenAI Service model in Power Automate (preview) | Microsoft Learn

Option #2: Combines Power Virtual Agent (PVA) and Azure OpenAI Service. This option provides a good trade-off between the simplicity to deploy a bot in Teams via PVA, as opposed to a full development using the Azure bot service, and better control over the AI generative models via Azure OpenAI Service, as opposed to the AI Builder connector for ChatGPT on Azure OpenAI Service.

Option #3: Please take a look at this GitHub repository by Freist Li which uses GPT3 – GitHub – freistli/rootbot: Bot App integrated with several LLMs services (ChatGPT, GPT-3, DALL-E) from OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your helpful response. However, I am still having trouble integrating my own data chatbot with Microsoft Teams. My chatbot works, but it only works like ChatGPT 3.5 and does not connect to my cognitive search index data library.

The following applications are used for the integration:

Power Automate (to define the API endpoint and key)

Power Virtual Agent to create my own chatbot for Microsoft Teams

Note:

My chatbot is working in Microsoft Teams, but it is not linked to my data library. It is only working with internet data.

I followed your suggested Option 2, which works, but I couldn't find how to connect it to my cognitive search index.

Hi @Grmacjon-MSFT ,

Thank you for the answer, it's awesome!

May I ask where did you get the picture from? Or what app did you use to draw this picture?
