Learn how to add ChatGPT to Microsoft Teams

Adam_deMont · ‎01-25-2023

ChatGPT is a revolutionary Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that has the power to change the way we work. Now that Microsoft has invested heavily in OpenAI, it’s only a matter of time before their capabilities are built into the Microsoft 365 and Azure platforms. By using Power Automate to integrate that technology into Microsoft Teams, you can effortlessly access those AI capabilities directly from a Teams channel now without having to wait for Microsoft. You will only need one OpenAI account in order for everyone in that channel to use ChatGPT from within Teams. Anyone with access to that channel can simply post a question to ChatGPT, and an automated cloud flow will trigger. The flow will get the message details from the user and pass the question, as a variable, to an HTTP POST request to ChatGPT. Once the request returns the answer response from that site, it is used as a variable to reply to the user who asked it in the thread where it was asked.

Hi

I thought this flow was very good, but Im probably doing somehting wrong here.
First the runtime for the flow is about 1.40 minutes. Secondly i get a wierd reapetable message.
Instead of giving me the actual answer or any other answer it just returns:
"device-local-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx"

Any ideas to why? or how to fix it?

Hi @jmathur , Thank you for checking out this tutorial. To answer your question, it really depends on what line of work you are in and how you want to use it. For example, if you wanted to rewrite a blog article to be SEO-friendly, you could ask it to make the following article SEO-friendly. Then paste the contents of your article and send it. Another example could be that you want to write a PowerShell script to backup files from a computer to a NAS device. One more example, when working in Excel, if you have trouble creating the formula you would like, you could describe what you are trying to do and ask ChatGPT to write a formula that you could use. That being said, a lot of information existed before 2021, so if you're just looking for historical data and dont need data from after 2021, you could ask it just about anything.

Hi @Adam_deMont , this is a terrific posting. Thanks for sharing! I was wondering if you could provide some examples of questions you imagine would be asked from within Teams. From what I understand, ChatGPT is limited to the information that was available on the internet in 2021. I'm trying to come up with ways to use ChatGPT for my team (and/or company) but I'm not sure how to make it specific to our company's needs.
