Integration of MS Teams and Python Script

Integration of MS Teams and Python Script

Chaturvedi, Rupal 5

I need to integrate MS teams and Python script. The task is as follows:

The user will send his query (it can be through chat or audio call) from the MS Teams to the bot (we need to understand which resource and what is the procedure for the same).
The bot will then get the reply for the query from the python script which includes Azure OpenAI integration and show it to MS teams if asked through chat or audio call.

What are the services required and steps to implement the same?

Hi @Chaturvedi, Rupal,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

To integrate MS Teams with a Python script for handling queries via chat or audio, you can leverage Azure Speech Services and Azure OpenAI. Here's how to approach it:

For voice-based interactions, Azure Speech Services can be used for Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS). STT enables transcription of user audio into text, which can then be processed by your bot. TTS can convert the bot's text-based response into audio for playback in Teams. The Azure Speech SDK provides methods for these functionalities, allowing you to handle both audio input and output effectively. You can learn more about Azure Speech Services and its capabilities here.

Text-based queries or transcribed audio inputs can be processed using the Azure OpenAI service. The Python script would take the user’s input, whether chat text or STT-transcribed text, and pass it as a prompt to the Azure OpenAI API. This can be done using the OpenAI Python SDK, which supports querying models like GPT-4 for generating intelligent responses. You can find detailed documentation about Azure OpenAI here.

The bot then returns the response to Teams. For chat interactions, the response is sent as plain text. For voice interactions, the response can be converted to audio using TTS before sending it back. This architecture ensures seamless handling of both chat and audio queries, integrating the capabilities of Azure Speech Services and Azure OpenAI into a unified workflow.

I hope you understand! Thank you.
