  • Building a command-line-interface tool designed to answer user queries using the Microsoft Graph API – combine the power of Microsoft Graph and large language model (LLM) to deliver a powerful wizard – magi. Magi’s three building blocks – command line (LCLI), ChatGPT API and Microsoft Graph. The CLI skeleton is just 16 lines. OpenAI library provides a .NET focused experience. Prompt engineering is key to getting most out of the ChatGPT API. GraphClientFactory makes arbitrary requests to Graph API. A hackathon winning solution.
