Your SharePoint libraries are full of organizational knowledge, but getting AI to work with that content securely has meant building your own indexes, managing embeddings, and worrying about permissions. The Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs change that. They give developers direct access to the same retrieval, search, and chat capabilities that power Copilot, all through Microsoft Graph, all permission-trimmed, no infrastructure to maintain. In this session, we'll break down what these APIs are, how they work, and what you can realistically build with them from SPFx today. We'll wrap up with practical examples including an SPFx extension that summarizes documents and generates change reports for approvers.

SPFx is finally getting some love again, with new features and improvements landing at a pace we haven’t seen in years. In this demo-driven session, we’ll explore what’s new in the SharePoint Framework and, more importantly, what it means for developers. We’ll look at the move to Heft and the new build experience, the new SPFx CLI, improvements to List Command Sets and Form Customizers, and the latest extensibility options across Microsoft 365. We’ll also take a look at Copilot Components and how SPFx is expanding beyond the traditional SharePoint experience, along with a few things currently on the horizon. Expect plenty of code, demos, and practical examples as we catch up on what’s changed and explore where SPFx is heading next.
