The AI packages in this library are designed to make it easier to build applications with LLMs.
The @microsoft/teams.ai package has two main components:
Prompts
A Prompt is the component that orchestrates everything, it handles state management,
function definitions, and invokes the model/template when needed. This layer abstracts many of
the complexities of the Models to provide a common interface.
Models
A Model is the component that interfaces with the LLM, being given some input and returning the output.
This layer deals with any of the nuances of the particular Models being used.
It is in the model implementation that the individual LLM features (i.e. streaming/tools etc.)
are made compatible with the more general features of the @microsoft/teams.ai package.
Note
You are not restricted to use the @microsoft/teams.ai package to build your Teams Agent applications. You can use models directly if you choose. These packages are there to simplify the interactions with the models and Teams.
