From Concept to Creation: AI-Powered Development

This project aims to integrate the Petoi robot dog with the Azure Inference API. The robot dog, used in STEM projects, has four legs and eight joints, all of which can move independently. The objective of this project is to enable communication with the robot dog in human language and to utilize the API to comprehend commands. A script written in Python allows the user to speak a sentence to the robot dog, which then understands and executes the corresponding command. For example, when the user says, "Hey buddy, the weather is so good and I want to walk," the robot executes the "kwkF" command to start walking. The project currently uses Azure text-to-speech and Azure Inference API. Additionally, this project is a RAG project, meaning it involves Retrieval-Augmented Generation techniques to enhance the robot's capabilities.

In this session, we'll learn how to create a hotel reservation assistant using Copilot Studio. We will learn how to use copilot studio actions to connect an external hotel reservation API in order to integrate our assistant with the Hotel Reservation System that allows us to get hotels availability in an area or get availability of a specific accommodation. We can get the final prices for a specific stay, and of course it will allow us to confirm a reservation.
