Why Integrate ChatGPT with Teams?
Integrating ChatGPT into Teams allows you to:
- Get instant AI-powered answers inside your chat.
- Automate responses to common questions.

Now, let’s dive into the integration process!
Step 1: Install Adaptus2-Framework Plugin for Microsoft Teams
Adaptus2 provides an easy way to link ChatGPT with Microsoft Teams. Here’s how to set it up:
- Get the Adaptus2 Plugin: Download the Adaptus2 Microsoft Teams Plugin from the official Adaptus2-Framework repository or your IT department.
- Deploy the Plugin: Install the plugin on your server or cloud environment.
- Set Up Microsoft Teams API Access:
- Register a bot on the Microsoft Azure Portal.
- Get the Teams App ID and Teams App Secret.
- Enable Graph API to listen to Teams messages.
Step 2: Connect Adaptus2 to ChatGPT
Now that you have the plugin installed, it’s time to connect it to ChatGPT:
- Get OpenAI API Key: Sign up at OpenAI and generate an API key.
- Configure the Plugin:
- Set environment variables:

Step 3: How the Chatbot Appears in Microsoft Teams
Once the integration is complete, users will be able to interact with ChatGPT inside Microsoft Teams. The chatbot can appear in different ways:
- As a Direct Chatbot (Personal Chat)
- The chatbot is available in the “Chat” section of Teams.
- Users can find it and start a conversation by sending messages.
- It appears like any other contact, allowing users to type
/ai
followed by their query.
- As a Team Member in a Channel
- Admins can add the bot to a Teams channel.
- The bot listens to messages and responds when mentioned (e.g.,
@ChatGPT
). - It can process AI queries when specific keywords like
/ai
are used.
- As a Message Extension (Button in Chatbox)
- Some setups allow a custom message extension (a button users click to interact with ChatGPT).
- This requires additional UI setup inside Microsoft Teams.
Does the Plugin Create a Channel Automatically?
- No, the plugin does not create a Teams channel automatically.
- Instead, an admin must manually add the bot to a chat or a channel.
- However, you can modify the plugin to create a dedicated “ChatGPT AI Help” channel during setup if needed.
Step 4: Start Chatting with ChatGPT in Teams
Once everything is set up, you can start chatting with ChatGPT inside Teams:
- Simply type a message in your Teams chat.
- Use /ai at the beginning of your message to talk directly to ChatGPT.
- The AI will respond instantly, providing helpful answers in real-time.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Not getting responses? Check that your API keys and bot permissions are correctly set up.
- Message delay? Ensure your server and Teams webhook are running properly.
- Need more features? Customize the plugin’s code to enhance its capabilities.
