The mechanics of building and extending Microsoft Copilot
summary
Copilot for Microsoft 365 extends with user-built copilots using Copilot Studio or Visual Studio Code plus three JSON artifacts (OpenAPI/Swagger, Teams manifest, content Copilot.json). It grounds responses via Microsoft Graph across SharePoint, OneDrive, mail, calendar and Teams, accepts up to 8,000‑char instructions and starter prompts, and supports connectors, graph indexing of external sources (Azure DevOps Wiki) and read/write plug‑ins — demo creates a KB edit task and successfully updates the external wiki.
