Event details
I was, 25 years ago, an accomplished C/C++ Windows SDK developer, after which I was a MSFT Technology Evangelist and pre-sales engineer. Now I want to get back into it and build a Large Language Model (I think) application that will summarize complex documents in a specific knowledge domain. Maybe I’ll build a business around this. After Microsoft Ignite and a couple of weeks of trying I am LOST as to WHERE to get STARTED. There are SOoooo many options - AI studio, CoPilot Studio, OpenAI Service, etc. Help!
- Also I am thinking to program in Python. Any comment on Python as my choice?

MicrosoftHello, Stawsh. Let me help describe Copilot Studio and Azure AI Studio.
Copilot Studio allows you to create your own copilots or extend and customize Microsoft Copilot via an end-to-end SaaS studio. The infrastructure is managed for you, no service need to be spun up, including built-in generative AI features, responsible AI checks, analytics dashboards, LLM orchestrator, and IT admin center built in. Design copilots that assist with knowledge discovery over your data and task completion via automation.
For a comprehensive developer experience, Azure AI Studio offers a fully managed AI platform including the ability to customize apps with the latest models from Azure OpenAI Service and open models, ground models using enterprise data, orchestrate apps with prompt flow, as well as fine-tune models, and evaluate apps with enterprise-grade security, safety, privacy, and compliance.
The good news is that they can be used together!
Does this help?
- Do I need to be an "Enterprise" to use Copilot Studio or Azure AI Studio? On some path a few days ago, I remember getting blocked on that point ... couldn't log in with a "private account". At this time, I am just one of two "enterprising individuals" investigating this idea and wanting to prototype.
- Eric_Johnson1280What you would need to get started in AI Studio is an Azure Subscription. We support logging in for both enterprise tenants and individual accounts.
- Working at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-studio/how-to/sdk-install, any advice on "Install the SDK into an existing development environment" versus "Use the Azure AI SDK without installing it"?
- Courtney, where does Azure AI SDK fit into the picture with Copilot Studio and Azure AI Studio?
