Developer tools for Copilot in Business Central give partners the power to add generative AI experiences to their extensions.
Feature details
The developer tools for Copilot in Business Central include signature UI elements, an AI module for connecting to Azure OpenAI Service with your own service key, guides, a sample, and telemetry. For more information about the toolkit, see Easily integrate generative AI with your AL solutions.
With 2024 release wave 1, developers can take advantage of the following opportunities in their extensions:
Enhancements to the prompt dialog
- Use placeholder text in multiline input text fields to give concise prompt instructions and help users get started.
- Add one or more prompt guides that act as prompt templates to help users understand the breadth of prompts that your prompt dialog accepts.
- Copilot actions can appear on lists, list parts, and worksheets. They draw attention to the actions and open your prompt dialogs.
Enhancements to AI module
