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.
