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!
